As companies embark on a new capital expenditure cycle and new sectors such as solar and semiconductors emerge, the demand for industrial gases in India will align with that of developed markets, said INOX Air Products CEO.

"In India, basically we want to increase the capacity. We have already around 21 MT. It will be 25 MT soon because the Kalinganagar expansion is going on.

RBI had pre-empted and changed its stance to pause in its April meeting, now all focus is on the inflation trajectory. Historically, it has been seen it takes 6 to 9 months post pause for a shift in stance towards lowering interest rates.

Steelmaking is an energy intensive business, and accounts for among the highest carbon emissions globally. Production of green steel basically means doing so without the usage of fossil fuels in order to cut down on carbon emissions.

Of the total planned capex of Rs 16,000 crore in FY23-24, Tata Steel will spend up to Rs 800 crore on maintaining UK assets.

India is among the top five coal-producing countries in the world. However, some parts of its coal requirement are met through imports as the country is also among the major consumers of the dry fuel. For coking coal -- a key raw material used in steel making -- the country remains heavily dependent on imports.

Tata Steel needs a decision on the fate of its UK operations within the next 12 to 24 months, according to CEO and MD T V Narendran. The assets will soon reach the end of their life and carbon footprints must be reduced. The company has requested a financial package from the UK government to replace two blast furnaces at Port Talbot, South Wales, where the UKs largest steelworks is located. Tata Steel is talking to the UK government in hopes of receiving the required package.

The Sensex fell 694.96 points or 1.13% to close at 61,054.29, a day after the index surged to its highest in four and a half months. The Nifty declined 186.80 points or 1.02% to end at 18,069. Both the indices once again turned negative for the year on Friday, pulling back about 0.5% year-to-date.

Activity in the steel trade market in India has slowed significantly as buyers hold back from stocking up on materials on expectations of prices dropping. The trade market, consisting of dealers and sub-dealers of primary steel mills, accounts for a quarter of the overall steel consumption in the country. Major players like JSW Steel and ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India have cut prices by Rs 2,000 per tonne and Rs 2,500 per tonne respectively, while other steel mills are expected to follow. This follows a hike in list price in April, which resulted in a lower takeoff in the trade market and contributed to inventory accumulating with mills.

​So, the profit booking cannot be denied at the higher levels, but definitely I believe 42,800, 42,500 can come down and we can just see the support formation in that particular range and again we will witness some pullbacks rally.

The Rishi Sunak-led government's earlier proposal barely covered a fifth of the estimated capital cost required at Port Talbot Steelworks, Narendran said. The company's European operations continued to be a drag on its consolidated financials. Edited excerpts:

Tata Steel CEO and MD, TV Narendran, expects steel consumption to return to positive levels in Europe from next year. The companys Dutch business, the strongest in Europe, has been significantly challenged because of rising gas and electricity prices last year. The UK business still poses a long-term challenge, but the fundamentals of demand in India are still very strong due to construction activity and a revived auto industry. Narendran also spoke about the three big factors that will drive sentiment – domestic demand in India, China's recovery and resurgence, and coal prices.

Rakesh Arora of Go India, predicts a moderate outlook for the cement and steel sectors beyond Q1 of this year. A lack of price discipline and the emergence of new competitors such as Adani Cement could hamper pricing, leading to a potential disappointment in the cement industry if companies continue to push towards volume over pricing. While cost pressures are reducing and margins are improving due to cost reduction, the picture for steel remains uncertain due to global demand risks and dropping steel prices in China.
