Local CRC prices rose by ₹1,000–₹1,200/tonne.
Re-roller stock levels dipped, with delivery periods extended by 10–15 days.
Firm demand likely to keep price momentum intact.
New Delhi, April 29, 2025 — Local Cold Rolled Coil (CRC) prices in India have surged this week as re-roller stock levels dip sharply and delivery periods stretch.
According to market sources, re-rollers are facing tight inventories due to limited raw material availability and steady demand from key sectors like automobiles and home appliances. This has pushed CRC prices up by ₹1,000–₹1,200 per tonne in the local trade market.
Traders reported that delivery lead times for new CRC orders have now extended by 10–15 days as mills struggle to replenish their stock.
A Mumbai-based trader commented, “Stock shortage in the market combined with firm demand is driving prices higher. If supply constraints persist, we may see another round of price hikes soon.”
Meanwhile, there’s speculation that major steel producers may revise their base prices for CRC in early May, potentially adding to market volatility.
