Rationale:
SteelMint’s daily billet index is assessed at INR 42,800/tonne (t) (+INR 400) exw-Raipur on 28 Jul’21.
About 6,000 t of transactions in steel billet were recorded by SteelMint today, as against 4,000 t on 27 Jul.
The index rebound following improved demand and prevailing optimistic sentiments with the assumption by market participants that
the primary steel mills are likely to keep prices strong for Aug deliveries.
● This index has been derived based on transactions, offers, bids and indicative price data sets. Transactions are considered as T1 and
given a weightage of 50% whereas other data sets are considered as T2 and given a weightage of the balance 50%.
● Transactions (T1) – Twelve trades were recorded in the 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm SteelMint trading window and considered for final price
calculation as T1 inputs. Out of which four trades were recorded at INR 42,800/t, three deals at INR 42,700/t, two deals each at INR
42,600/t and INR 42,500/t, and one deal at 43,000/t. The average price of these twelve transactions was INR 42,753/t and given a 50%
weightage in the final price calculation.
● Other Price Indicators – bids/offers/indicative (T2) – Eight offers reported in the trading window and considered as T2 inputs. The
average price of these eight was INR 42,800/t and given a 50% weightage in the final price calculation.
The final price for billet exw Raipur was at INR 42,776/t, rounded to INR 42,800/t exw.
From SteelMint Team - While it would be our earnest endeavour, at SteelMint, to bring about transparent and unbiased price index
reporting, we would request all our readers and subscribers for their feedback and if they could participate in the reporting of more

Tathya's Pig Iron (Hot Metal) Index represents the variation in production of Hot Metal (Pig Iron) on a weekly basis at different steel mills. This is a near real-
time indicator of production trends in steel mills which is derived by using advanced Machine Learning leveraging the heat signals captured in the infrared
bands of satellite images. The base value of the index is considered as 100 and subsequent values represent change from the base value which gives an
indication of production trend.
Tathya.Earth has kindly allowed SteelMint to show their Pig Iron production index in this report. More info can be found at www.tathya.earth
