Pipes News Today

DI pipe prices remain firm on strong infrastructure-driven demand, while MS ERW prices are steady despite elevated inventories. New capacity additions are reshaping supply dynamics, yet DI availability continues to trail demand in key states. Market sentiment has improved as buyers turn proactive amid better project execution.

DI pipe demand remains strong, led by water infrastructure projects, though execution and capacity constraints persist. MS ERW pipe demand has improved with infrastructure spending, but elevated inventories limit price upside. Buyers face longer delivery timelines rather than immediate shortages, especially in the DI segment.

PP markets show sharp divergence across regions. China continues to face deep bearish pressure, with futures trading below COVID-era levels. In contrast, India has seen a modest, sentiment-driven price hike by RIL amid lean inventories and a thin import pipeline. While demand remains cautious, limited availability is restricting downside risk.

DI and MS pipe prices remain stable, with demand trends diverging across segments. MS ERW demand has seen a moderate recovery, led by infrastructure projects, although inventories remain elevated. DI pipes continue to witness strong demand from water supply schemes, with supply and execution challenges emerging as the key constraints rather than demand.

India’s pipe market shows mixed momentum: DI pipes remain in strong demand due to water-supply projects, while MS ERW sees moderate recovery but faces heavy inventories. New capacities from Vibhor Steel and Rungta Steel reshape supply dynamics amid regional competition.

DI and MS pipe prices remain steady, supported by ongoing infrastructure spending. DI pipes are in high demand due to water supply projects but face supply constraints. MS ERW demand has improved post-monsoon, though high inventories persist. New capacities from Vibhor Steel and Rungta Steel are reshaping supply dynamics.

India’s DI and MS ERW pipe markets show contrasting trends — DI pipe demand remains strong amid supply shortages from water infrastructure projects, while MS ERW prices have risen slightly on improving liquidity and construction activity. New capacity additions may ease regional supply, but inventory overhang persists in some segments.

DI and MS ERW pipe prices strengthened amid improving infrastructure demand and government project spending. DI pipes face supply shortages despite full-capacity production, while MS ERW demand rose by ₹2–3/kg due to increased project orders. New capacities in Odisha and Jharkhand are expanding supply across India.

Ductile Iron (DI) and Mild Steel (MS/ERW) pipe prices remain steady, with DI up to 150 mm at ₹67/kg and MS primary at ₹57–58/kg. October demand is projected 8–15% above September levels as delayed projects resume. Supply is adequate but specialty ERW grades and large diameters may face localized tightness.

DI pipe prices remain firm at ₹67/kg (≤150 mm) and ₹58/kg (>150 mm), supported by strong infrastructure demand. MS ERW pipes trade at ₹57–58/kg (primary) and ₹55–57/kg (secondary). Capacity expansions by Rungta and Vibhor Steel strengthen supply, while global developments like Brazil’s anti-dumping duties influence trade sentiment.
