Structure Prices in Central India likely to sustain – Market Players

Raipur Structure prices seem to stabilize at this level owing to stable Ingot/Billet prices and seasonal production cut by 30-50%.

SteelMint in conversation with manufacturers assessed, “Mill operators in India running below 50% capacity owing to low off-take of finish steel products.”

Sources also mentioned that amid high prices of raw material, there are limited chances for price correction and it is also expected that low production is likely to support semi finish and finished steel prices.

Raipur Structure manufacturers are maintaining the offers at same level. Whereas, Ghaziabad market has fallen by INR 200-300/MT W-o-W. Meanwhile, Structure prices in Ahmedabad & Durgapur remain unchanged.
