Indian Steel Prices Rise to Multi-Year Highs, Brokers Maintain Positive Outlook
Domestic steel prices in India have reached multi-year highs, with hot-rolled coil and rebar prices rising sharply amid firm demand and supply constraints. Brokerage firms Nomura and Motilal Oswal maintain positive outlooks on major steel producers like Tata Steel, JSW Steel, and Jindal Steel, citing strong pricing power that offsets rising raw material costs. Globally, steel prices show mixed trends, while India benefits from export quotas to the EU. The sector is transitioning from volume-driven to price- and cost-led earnings growth, supported by steady domestic consumption and tight market conditions.
