Graphite India Shares Rise on GrafTech's 30% Graphite Electrode Price Increase
Shares of Graphite India surged between 12 and 18 percent to reach fresh 52-week highs following GrafTech International's announcement of a minimum 30 percent price hike on graphite electrodes. This move aims to restore sustainable pricing amid rising raw material and energy costs. The price increase is expected to improve realisations and margins for Indian manufacturers like Graphite India and HEG, with HEG's graphite electrode business undergoing a demerger and planned separate listing. The broader market declined despite these gains.
