With a 12.3 per cent hike, currently, the cost of 1.2mm steel bars stands at Rs178,500/ton.

The surge in prices has been credited to the 11 per cent (in rupees) increase in the price of hot-rolled coil (HRC) – the raw material used in the production, globally.

The surge in the purchasing cost is expected to affect construction activities.
