Mild Steel Market Overview

India is the world's second-largest steel producer with an annual crude steel production capacity exceeding 150 million tonnes. The mild steel market in India is driven by infrastructure development, construction activities, automotive manufacturing, and industrial growth.

Mild steel prices are influenced by global iron ore and coking coal prices, domestic demand patterns, and government policies including import duties and anti-dumping measures. Major producers include Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Tata Steel, JSW Steel, and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AMNS).

Factors Affecting Mild Steel Prices

Several factors influence mild steel prices in the Indian market:

Raw Material Costs: Iron ore and coking coal account for 60-70% of steel production cost. Price movements in these commodities directly impact steel prices.
Global Demand: International steel demand, especially from China, affects export opportunities and domestic pricing.
Currency Rates: Since raw materials are imported, USD/INR movements affect production costs.
Infrastructure Projects: Government infrastructure spending drives domestic demand and prices.
Seasonal Demand: Construction activity peaks post-monsoon, typically driving higher prices from October to March.

Types of Mild Steel Products

Common mild steel products available in the Indian market include:

Long Products: TMT bars, wire rods, angles, channels, beams - used in construction and infrastructure.
Flat Products: HR coils, CR coils, plates, sheets - used in automotive, appliances, and manufacturing.
Tubular Products: MS pipes, structural tubes, hollow sections - used in plumbing and structures.
Other Products: Rails, forged products, bright bars - for specialized applications.

Mild Steel FAQs

What's the going rate for mild steel in India right now?

Right now you're looking at ₹50000-68000 per tonne depending on what you're buying. TMT bars run about ₹52-58 per kg while HR coils hover around ₹52-55/kg. CR coils are pricier at ₹58-66/kg. These rates shift weekly based on what the big mills announce.

What can you actually use mild steel for?

Pretty much everything in construction and manufacturing. TMT bars go into RCC work - columns, beams, slabs. HR and CR coils end up in car body panels, appliances, drums. Angles and channels form the skeleton of buildings, warehouses, transmission towers. It's honestly the backbone of Indian industry.

How much are TMT bars costing per kg these days?

Expect to pay ₹50-65 per kg for TMT. Fe 500D grade (the standard for most construction) sits at ₹52-58/kg. If you need Fe 550 for heavier loads it'll cost you ₹55-62/kg. Branded stuff from Tata or JSW typically runs 5-10% more than local mills.

Which steel brand should I go with for my construction project?

For peace of mind stick with the big names - Tata Steel, SAIL, JSW, Jindal, or AMNS. They're all BIS-certified so quality is consistent. Tata Tiscon dominates the TMT market while JSW and SAIL are strong in flat products. Really though pick based on what's available from dealers near your site.

Do steel prices change daily or weekly?

We update prices daily on OfBusiness whenever major mills like SAIL Tata JSW or AMNS announce changes. In practice expect meaningful moves of ₹500-2000 per tonne every week or two. Iron ore costs and demand cycles are the big drivers.

Why has steel gotten so expensive lately?

Few things hitting at once - iron ore and coking coal costs make up 60-70% of production so when those spike everything follows. Government infrastructure push means demand is through the roof. Add in global supply issues and rupee weakness making imports costlier. It all adds up.

How do I get quotes for bulk steel orders?

Simple - head to OfBusiness select your product and quantity then submit an enquiry. You'll hear back from our network of 500+ verified dealers within 24 hours. Orders over 25 tonnes usually get you ₹500-1500 off per tonne plus we handle delivery to your site.
