India’s NMDC resumes iron ore supplies to RINL
This created a massive challenge for sustaining the plant operations as the inflow of iron ore was already constrained and the stocks of iron ore had reached a critical level because of heavy monsoon rains in the area of the mines, it added.“With the continuous and relentless efforts by Indian Railways, its KK line operations were restored on October 10, 2023, and supply of iron ore and railway rake movement to RINL from NMDC mines have resumed,” the statement said.RINL said that there was a major landslide along Indian Railways’ KK line in the early hours of September 24 this year and supplies from NMDC’s Bailadila sector, which is the main source of iron ore supplies for the company, had to be stopped.Meanwhile, RINL had made alternate arrangements from other sources like NMDC mines in Karnataka, Steel Authority of India Limited’s Bolani/Barsua iron ore mines, Orissa Minerals Development Company (OMDC) and Orissa Mining Corporation (OMC) to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operations of its two blast furnaces.

Steel companies' margins may improve on lower input costs
If the recent strength in prices of steel sustain, steel spreads are likely to improve in the December quarter, Axis Securities said in a note.The cost of coking coal, which is used in the production of steel, is down by $45-$60 per tonne from the previous quarter.This is in contrast to the production volumes of other leading steel makers.The profitability of most domestic steel makers is set to improve by ₹500-₹2,000/tonne quarter-on-quarter in the three months to September, largely aided by lower cost of a key raw material, according to analysts, even as steel prices fell in the seasonally weak period.The improvement in profitability that steel producers see, though, will be capped because of steel prices moving 3-5% lower during the quarter, with prices of long steel products seeing an even sharper decline of up to 8%, according to analysts.
