[SMM Steel] Tata Steel expects India’s steel demand to grow by 7-8% annually over the next 20 years, supported by infrastructure development and industrialization. The company plans to expand its domestic steelmaking capacity to over 40 million tonnes per year and strengthen its presence in the Maharashtra market. More than 60-65% of Tata Steel’s annual capex budget of Rs 20,000 crore will continue to be allocated to India. Meanwhile, the company is enhancing supply chain diversification, scenario planning, and hedging strategies to manage geopolitical risks, while focusing on cost and commercial improvements in Europe amid weak demand and high energy costs.

[Vietnam] HRC Prices Drop Amid Low-Priced Imports and Weak Demand, Hoa Phat Cuts by $34/tonne

[Vietnam] Currently, CFR Vietnam offers for SS400 and SAE1006 2mm thick coils are being maintained at 540-550 USD/tonne. Hoa Phat Group slashed its prices significantly this month, also mainly driven by intense competition from low-priced imports, with a MoM plunge of 34 USD/tonne to 550-551 USD/tonne (CFR domestic port). Market participants are now focusing on digesting this new price level. In the short term, Vietnam HRC prices are expected to remain under pressure with an overall weak trend. Close attention should be paid to buyers' actual willingness to hold prices firm and the subsequent deal follow-through after Hoa Phat's price adjustment.
