“Brent and energy prices are skyrocketing due to the full scale war in Eastern Europe. Input costs for Steam coal, Coking Coal and Ferro alloys are witnessing substantial rise which has resulted in higher steel prices,” said VR Sharma, Managing Director, JSP in a statement.

“While we hope and pray for faster resolution of the conflict, it will take at least six months for markets to stabilise post war. Higher input costs should therefore result in continued rise in steel prices as the industry grapples with containing cost pressures.”
