India reduced the export of rolled steel by 55% y/y in April-October 2022

In the first 7 months of the 2022/2023 financial year (April-October), India reduced its exports of rolled steel by 55% y/y – to 4 million tons. Reuters reports about it with the reference to the data of the country’s government.

The production of rolled products in April-October 2022 increased by 6.4% y/y – up to 68 million tons, consumption – by 11.4%, up to 65.5 million tons, compared to the same period last year.

In the 7 months of the 2022/2023 financial year, India imported 3.2 million tons of rolled steel, which is 14.5% more compared to the previous year. Steel production in April-October increased by 5.3% y/y – up to 71.3 million tons.

Steel demand in India is expected to remain stable in the second half of FY2022/2023. The stimulus for steel consumption in the country is, in particular, state capital investments in infrastructure, there is also a revival in the automotive sector.

As GMK Center reported earlier, during the first half of the 2022/2023 financial year, rolled steel export from India fell by 54% y/y – to 3.6 million tons. Steel production by Indian steel mills in April-September 2022 increased by 7% compared to the same period last year – up to 61.45 million tons.
