Proposed duty on steel imports may lead to steep price hike in 2025: CRISIL

Steel prices in 2025 would be much higher than the last year if the proposed safeguard duty on steel imports is imposed by the end of next month, rating agency Crisil said on Wednesday. "Domestic prices are under pressure due to global steel price decline and are expected to remain soft in 2025. Prices have a 4-6 per cent upside potential hinged on implementation of the safeguard duty. "As mills ramp up production volume from the newly commissioned capacities, increase in supply will reduce flat steel prices, but will still be higher than average price of 2024. That said, intense competition among mills to gain market share could limit the upward movement," Vishal Singh, Director-Research at Crisil Market Intelligence and Analytics, said in a statement. The imposition of a safeguard duty proposed by the industry could be a positive here. Assuming it is implemented by the end of February, steel prices in 2025 would be much higher than 2024, with the impact more prominent in the first

Crisil upgrades rating on Vedanta's long-term debt instruments to 'AA'

Vedanta Ltd on Tuesday said that Crisil Ratings Ltd has upgraded its rating on the company's long-term bank facilities and debt instruments. Improved capital structure, better financial flexibility and strong volume growth are the key reasons for the upgrade. Crisil has upgraded its rating on Vedanta's long-term bank facilities and debt instruments to AA from 'AA-', the rating agency said. "The rating upgrade factors the expected material improvement in the consolidated operating profitability (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation or Ebitda) of Vedanta along with improved capital structure with reduction in debt and leverage to below rating thresholds," Crisil said in its rating rationale. This is the second upgrade for Vedanta by a major credit agency in the last three months. In September, ICRA had upgraded Vedanta Ltd's long-term credit rating to AA from AA-, citing company's strengthened credit profile. UK-based Vedanta Resources, the parent of India's

Lower APM gas allocation to raise city gas cost by Rs 2-3 per kg: CRISIL

The gas procurement cost of city gas distribution (CGD) companies is set to rise by Rs 2-3 per kilogram (kg) following a reduction in allocation of input natural gas under the administered price mechanism (APM), rating agency Crisil said Wednesday. City gas operators get priority gas allocation at reduced prices under APM from legacy gas fields for the domestic compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas (PNG) - domestic segments. As per recent public announcements by these companies, GAIL (India) Ltd, the nodal agency for domestic gas allocation in the country, has reduced the APM gas allocation for the CNG segment by 20 per cent of their CNG requirement, effective October 16, 2024. "To note, APM allocation for CGD players will now be reduced to about 50 per cent of their CNG requirement, from the allocation level of around 70 per cent this fiscal year so far," Crisil said in a note. So, to maintain adequate supply, the CGD players will need to procure gas from costlier ...
