PRICING NOTICE: Proposal to update India domestic billet, rebar specifications

Metal Bulletin is proposing to update the specifications for its India domestic billet and rebar assessments to provide a clearer distinction between the primary and secondary markets in India.

The specifications for domestic billet will be updated to better reflect price assessments for secondary-grade IS 2831 billet, 125x125mm thick.

The specifications for domestic rebar will be updated to better reflect price assessments for secondary-grade IS 1786-415/500, 12mm diameter material.

The amendments will more closely align Metal Bulletin’s ex-works basis rupee per tonne price assessments with the domestic market. There are no changes to publishing time and dates.

Proposed specifications:

Assessment: India domestic secondary billet ex-works basis rupees per tonne
Dimensions: 125x125mm
Quantity: Min lot size: 50 tonnes
Location: Ex-works
Timing: Immediate
Unit: INR/tonne
Payment terms: In advance.
