ADC12 prices stable for Dec'25 amid year-end slowdown despite steady auto demand

India's aluminium ADC12 alloy ingot prices remained stable M-o-M in December 2025 supported by steady automotive demand and the typical year-end slowdown, which limited any further upward movement in prices.
 

BigMint's monthly assessment for OEM-grade ADC12 showed slight price hikes across key regions:

• Delhi: INR 232,000 per tonne (USD 2,569.11 per tonne), stable M-o-M
   
• Pune: INR 231,000 per tonne (USD 2,558.04), stable M-o-M
   
• Chennai: INR 230,000 per tonne (USD 2,546.77), stable M-o-M

These prices are based on 30-day payment terms.

The spread between scrap and semi-finished products saw a M-o-M increase of INR 42,000-45,000 per tonne (USD 465.16-498.38 per tonne) in both Delhi NCR and Chennai on lower domestic scrap prices and steady alloy prices due to firm auto demand.
