SAIL has dipped 4% to Rs 50.80, falling 25% in past one month amid fears of demand slowdown. The steel prices witnessed temporary weakness due to demand disruption on account of Assembly Elections in four major states i.e. Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, and Rajasthan. A slowdown in China's domestic steel demand also impacted the prices.
Shares of Deepak Fertilisers & Chemicals hit two year low of Rs 147, down 31% in past one month, after it reported a 56% drop in net profit at Rs 190 million in September 2018 quarter (Q2FY19).
