The scrip of Tata Steel in a year's time from a closing price of Rs. 273.6 as on May 4 has scaled to currently Rs. 1043.95. This is a substantial hike of 280 percent and has been triggered by the rise in steel price during the time, which pushed FPIs to increase their exposure in the scrip. As per moneycontrol website, FII/FPI have increased holdings from 16.87% to 18.56% in Mar 2021 qtr.

The sector is riding the commodity cycle; steel prices started increasing from July 2020 after India entered the unlocking phase, largely on the back of a recovery in domestic demand and surge in international prices. The major part of the surge in steel prices, however happened post-October with prices touching an all-time high in January. The rally in domestic prices was softer post-January 2021 led by pressure from end-users.
