The surge may be attributed to strong demand from projects, material shortage due to inventory reduction by mills, and the rise in raw material prices over the past few months.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, IF-route rebar prices surged by INR 1,800-3,300\/t across key regions over the past 10 days. The uptrend was driven by escalating geopolitical tensions, which have raised cost pressures across the steel value chain due to higher energy, freight, and raw material prices. Amid firm market conditions, traders actively booked material, enabling mills to secure steady order inflows during the week.<\/p>\n<p>The BF-IF rebar price spread in Mumbai stood at INR 8,000-8,500\/t ($87-92\/t). IF rebar continues to dominate the Indian market with a 65-70% share.<\/p>\n<p>Outlook:<\/p>\n<p>Amid fast-paced inventory drawdown and shortage of certain sizes in some markets, coupled with robust fiscal-end demand, the primary mills may raise rebar prices again this week, especially as input costs soar due to geopolitical uncertainties.<\/p>\n<p>Supply tightness and geopolitical risks may keep prices firm.
