SteelMint’s bi-weekly domestic pellet index “PELLEX ” has decreased slightly by INR 50/t to INR 13,500/t DAP Raipur in the recent deals. Four deals for a total quantity of around 25,000 t pellets have been reported in this publishing window. Few deals were also reported from outside Raipur this week. Buyers are still very cautious on buying decisions amid ongoing lockdown in the city which has disturbed material movement and lowered finished steel movement.
Raipur based pellet makers continued to keep the offers stable at INR 13,200-13,500/t. Godawari Power has also kept the pellet (low Al) stable at INR 14,000/t (ex-plant).
