Introducing: Indian billet price index - Exw Raipur, 17 Jul'20

SteelMint has introduced a new Indian billet price index. The salient features of this would be as follows:

We would be publishing a daily price index for induction route billet cargoes on an Ex-works basis in Raipur (Chhattisgarh).
This will comply with quality and quantity specifications along with the internationally accepted IOSCO principles of transparency and optimum market width coverage for spot price assessments.
The index places the highest value to concluded transactions that have been confirmed by reputed and trustworthy buyers, sellers or brokers.

Rationale:

SteelMint billet index (Exw Raipur) has been assessed at INR 27,550/t (Exw Raipur) today i.e. 17th July 2020, as per the following working:-

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%.
