Khodrocar - Complaints from parts manufacturers about the lack of raw material quotas on the one hand, and intermediation in the raw materials market, on the other hand, have led to huge price differences these days. There are violations in this regard. It is said that the sheets needed by car manufacturers are sold in the open market, and this has led to the dissatisfaction of parts manufacturers.
Accordingly, the head of the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO) in a letter addressed to the CEOs of two major automotive companies announced the extension of the quota of the sheets they need until the end of April 1400.
In the March 4 meeting, which was held in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Mines and Mining Industries, it was decided that the time limit for allocating car manufacturers' sheets in the form of a special offer in proportion to the required quota was extended for April next year (one period). All car manufacturers and parts manufacturers are required to provide the required sheet by receiving the stock exchange code and registering in the optimizer system.
"Previous reports indicate that quotas received for use in automakers' production lines have been sold in the open market.” Reza Shahrestani, member of the board of steel makers association told khodrocar reporter.
"Due to this price difference, the final consumer did not receive a profit, so based on the negotiations that took place, it was decided that from now on, the supply of steel sheets will be possible only by registering on the Behin Yab site.” He said.
"Accordingly, from now on, companies are required to register on the site, or large companies will be able to buy the required sheet with a code and divide it according to the needs of these companies based on the needs of small companies.” He mentioned. "The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Behin Yab site are also obliged to report and announce the amount of supply of the product to which company it has been given, in order to completely close the ways of the profit chain based on this method.”
"Examination of the sheets available in the market and the tracking codes of the steel sheet rolls showed that some of the sheets were from the automakers' quotas, which entered the open market instead of being on the production lines.” He said.
"At the same time, the complaint of the component makers about the insufficient allocation of sheets also caused the allocation of steel sheet quotas to be done with more supervision, because activists in this field emphasized that due to lack of quotas, they have to supply sheets from the open market. But at the same time, the inspection of the warehouses showed the sale of quotas in the open market.” He continued.
"If implemented properly, this plan can lead to controlling prices and reducing it in the market, while previously with the previous supply model, the price of steel sheet was bought and sold instead of 15 thousand tomans, 25 thousand tomans, which We saw a 40% price difference.” He added.
It seems that with the opening of the hot rolling mill of Mobarakeh Steel, which will become one of the most important suppliers of steel sheets, the supply of this strategic product will be balanced.
