Parthiv Jhonsa, Vice President of Anand Rathi Institutional Equities, said rising gas prices and higher shipping costs could pressure margins for Indian steel producers. However, immediate supply risks remain limited as companies hold raw material inventories. He noted potential export challenges due to Europe’s quota limits and warned that Chinese steel imports could rise if domestic production is disrupted. Jhonsa remains positive on select ferrous players and sees strong long-term prospects for copper.
