According to him, this quarter, the earnings momentum that one has been accustomed to seeing over the last three quarters would slow down a bit, mainly because of prices flattening out in long segment and there would be cost headwinds also, particularly in case of coking coal.
“So, you could see coking coal cost higher by almost USD 25-50 depending on the company,” he said.
Going ahead into Q3FY22, he expects coking coal cost for all companies to be up by USD 100-125.
