Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that Stomana Industry, part of the SIDENOR Group, has awarded it a contract to supply rolling mill equipment for its Pernik plant in Bulgaria. The project will integrate a Danieli K-Spool line relocated from Sovel's micromill in Greece with new rolling and cooling equipment, enabling production of rebar coils weighing up to 3.6 mt in diameters of 8-20 mm. Danieli's supply includes an eight-pass finishing block, cooling equipment, and automation, combining thermomechanical rolling with its Soft Quenching technology to improve the metallurgical uniformity and consistency of mechanical properties. A new abrasive disk saw will also replace the existing unit to cut special bar quality (SBQ) rounds of 20-130 mm in diameter and 5-12.1 meters in length, with improved cutting performance, maintenance access, and integrated automation expected to support higher-quality production and greater operational efficiency.

[SMM Steel] Indian HRC Prices Hold Firm; Maintenance and Full Order Books Raise Supply Concerns

[India Export] Indian HRC references held around 670USD/tonne FOB India for Europe, with offers at 750–760USD/tonne CFR North Europe and Middle East indications at 620–630USD/tonne CFR. The Vietnam reference remained around 575USD/tonne CFR, with no fresh firm Indian mill offers confirmed. Billet stood at 467.5USD/tonne FOB India. Domestically, HRC held around 664USD/tonne (64,000INR/tonne) EXW Mumbai, excluding 18% GST. Market participants said Tata Steel’s Meramandali maintenance could last around three weeks, with distributors reportedly told to expect only 15% of their usual HRC allocations. Two other major steelmakers reportedly had full order books covering domestic or export commitments. Participants consequently expect a near-term HRC shortage, supporting domestic sellers’ firm stance, while higher European offers still await confirmed transactions.
