[India] India’s HRC market remained relatively stable, with Mumbai HRC prices holding at around 611 USD/tonne EXW. Buyers continued need-based procurement and avoided inventory build-up. Although monsoon conditions may weigh on trading activity, manufacturing demand stayed relatively steady. India’s AD probe into HRC imports from China, Japan and Russia is expected to support domestic HRC prices in the near term.

However, concerns remain over high quota allocations for galvanized steel, packaging steel and hollow sections.
