India’s raw materials & steel prices

Looking ahead, mills anticipate a further decrease in coking coal prices, especially in Q1FY’25, by $10-40/t which can shore up their bottomline.

Such an unfolding scenario makes mills upbeat on inventory reductions and improvement in net sales realisations in Q1FY’25 as compared to the previous quarter.
