The Indian steel market for HR Coils and Plates is currently experiencing a downturn in July 2025. HR Coil prices have dropped by ₹800/tonne week-on-week, while HR Plate prices remain mostly stable, with some thinner plates showing a slight decrease. This weakness is driven by monsoon-related low demand and a surge in imports from countries like China and South Korea. Looking ahead, a mild price recovery is anticipated in September–October, following the monsoon season and a potential government policy on import duties.
