MS Angle Price Trend Q4 2025

India: MS Angle, Domestically traded prices, Ex Delhi-NCR, India; Grade – 50*50*6mm

The MS Angel price trend in India saw some mild bearish pressure throughout Q4 2025, with the combination of enough supply and an overall cautious approach from buyers being significant factors in determining market dynamics leading into early 2026. MS Angel prices in India decreased by 3.54% from Q3 to Q4 2025, which reflects a weaker trend in the domestic long steel market. Market sentiment has been cautious as demand from construction, infrastructure and small-scale fabrication sectors has been slowing down at the end of the year causing buyers to take a more conservative procurement approach due to the ongoing expectation of price reductions. Adequate domestic supply from integrated steel mills and secondary producers kept the market well supplied, resulting in downward price pressure despite relatively stable levels of production. Movements in raw material costs primarily scrap and iron ore provided little support to finished steel prices, while stable logistics also helped ensure that material continued to flow between different regions in which the product is sold. MS angle prices in India declined in December 2025 when distributors have been focusing on clearing their inventories and balancing their year-end accounts, and there has been an ongoing reduction in spot market transactions as contractors and fabricators remained conservative in their procurements.

MS Angle Price Trend Analysis: Q4 2025

In Q3 2025, mild steel (MS) angle prices have decreased across the world. The price decline has been driven by weaker demand in construction and automotive, plus oversupply primarily from increased exports from China.

Although regional pricing variations have been minimal, prevailing market sentiment has been bearish and compounded by trade tariffs, higher inventories, and general subdued activity levels in many industries. As a result, many producers have cut production to remain profitable, but there has been no substantial indication of increased demand and prices are expected to remain low till 2025.

According to Price-Watch, in Q3 2025, the mild steel (MS) angle price trend in India has recorded a 2.21% decrease compared to Q2 2025, primarily driven by reduced demand from the construction sector and increased domestic steel production exerting downward pressure on prices.

While Q2 had witnessed a slight price rise, the Q3 correction reflects cautious market sentiment amid ongoing global steel price fluctuations and regional economic factors. This decline has underscored the need for stakeholders to closely monitor supply-demand dynamics as the market navigates through slower infrastructure activity and input cost challenges.

The 0.24% increase in mild steel (MS) angle prices in India during September 2025 has been attributed to rising raw material costs and heightened demand from the construction sector. Additionally, supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures have further contributed to this price adjustment.

According to PriceWatch, during Q2 2025, the price trend of Mild Steel (MS) angles in India increased by 3.58%, reaching $664.96 per metric ton Ex Mumbai. This price growth is primarily driven by heightened demand from the construction and infrastructure sectors, coupled with limited domestic supply. Additionally, India continues to experience a high volume of steel imports, which is putting pressure on local producers and driving prices upwards.

The rise in global raw material costs, including iron ore and coal, has further contributed to the price increase.

In Q1 2025, the price trend of Mild Steel (MS) angles in India increased by 0.42%, reaching $6441.23 per metric ton Ex Mumbai.  This uptick suggests a stable demand environment, potentially driven by ongoing infrastructure projects and steady consumption in the construction and manufacturing sectors.

The slight increase also indicates relative market equilibrium, where supply has been able to keep pace with demand without significant volatility. However, the narrow margin of growth points to cautious sentiment among buyers, possibly influenced by macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, raw material costs, and global steel market trends.

MS Angle Price Trend Analysis: Q4 2024

In Q4 2024, the Indian MS (Mild Steel) Angle market witnessed a price decrease of $638.52 per metric ton, Ex- Mumbai reflecting a 1.10% decline from the previous quarter. This downward trend may be attributed to factors such as softened demand in the construction and infrastructure sectors, improved domestic supply, or global market corrections in steel prices.

Despite the modest percentage change, the price drop signifies potential easing of input costs for downstream industries. Market participants might interpret this as a short-term correction, though close monitoring of demand recovery and raw material costs will be key to anticipating future pricing trends. 

In Q3 2024, the Indian MS Angle market experienced a notable price correction, with rates declining by $645.61 per metric ton, Ex- Mumbai representing a 6.61% drop. This price movement reflects softening demand across key infrastructure and construction sectors, possibly influenced by delayed government projects or tightening liquidity in the market.

Additionally, global steel prices showed volatility due to fluctuating raw material costs and geopolitical uncertainties, which may have contributed to the downward trend.  

In Q2 2024, the MS Angle market in India experienced a modest yet notable price increase of $691.3 per metric ton, Ex- Mumbai reflecting a 1.94% rise. This uptick suggests a stable demand environment supported by ongoing infrastructure and construction activities, which typically drive consumption of structural steel like MS Angles.

The increase may also be attributed to firming input costs, particularly in raw materials such as iron ore and coal, along with improved market sentiment and potential supply-side constraints. Overall, the price movement signals a cautiously optimistic outlook for the sector, underpinned by resilient end-user demand and supportive economic activity.

In Q1 2024, the Indian market for MS (Mild Steel) Angle experienced a notable decline, with prices dropping by $678.17 per metric ton, Ex- Mumbai reflecting a 4.95% decrease from the previous quarter. This downturn can be attributed to a combination of factors, including subdued demand in the construction and infrastructure sectors, excess supply in the domestic market, and potential corrections following high price levels in 2023.

Additionally, global steel price trends and raw material cost fluctuations may have influenced domestic pricing. This decrease suggests a cautious market sentiment and highlights the need for stakeholders to monitor demand recovery and policy-driven infrastructure activity in the upcoming quarters.
