India: Pellet Trades in Domestic Market Remain Slow Post Hike in Offers
Domestic pellet offers in India moved up in all major markets. In Durgapur SteelMint’s reference, pellet price assessment stands at INR 6,500/MT ex-plant as against last week's pellet assessment of INR 6,300-6,400/MT (ex-Durgapur, GST extra). However, participants reported limited trades.
P-DRI prices in Durgapur are currently seen at INR 18,100-18,300/MT (Ex-plant) increased sharply by INR 1,100-1,300/MT against last week at INR 17,100/MT.
Central India based pellet makers raised offers by INR 700/MT in a week's time to INR 7,000/MT EXW-Raipur. However, the market is yet to witness aggressive buying at increased offers. Raigarh based pellet makers also increased pellet offers by INR 500/MT to INR 6,500/MT (EXW) this week.
