As the construction and infrastructure sectors head into a high-demand phase, raw steel prices are steadily increasing and are expected to continue spiking until January. This trend is already being felt across real estate, infrastructure, fabrication, and industrial projects—making early procurement a smart and strategic move.
At Rudran Infra Metals, we closely track market movements to help our clients make informed decisions. Here’s what’s driving the surge—and why delaying purchases could significantly impact your project costs.
Why Are Raw Steel Prices Increasing?
Several market forces are converging, creating upward pressure on steel prices:
1. Rising Demand from Infrastructure & Real Estate
Government-led infrastructure projects, highway expansions, metro works, and renewed real estate activity are pushing steel consumption higher.
2. Increase in Raw Material & Production Costs
Iron ore, coal, energy, and logistics costs have risen, directly impacting steel manufacturing prices.
3. Capacity Constraints & Supply Tightening
Temporary production cuts, maintenance shutdowns, and export demand are tightening domestic availability.
4. Seasonal Buying & Stocking Trends
As companies prepare for Q4 and early-year execution, bulk buying increases—further pushing prices upward.
Expected Trend: Prices Likely to Spike Till January
Market indicators suggest that steel prices may continue to climb through December and peak around January, driven by:
-
Pre-budget demand anticipation
-
Execution of delayed projects
-
Increased procurement for early 2026 timelines
Waiting to purchase steel later could mean paying significantly more for the same material.
