SAN prices have moved into a steadier phase after weakening through much of December. The domestic market recorded a flat weekly close at Rs 142/kg, signalling that the earlier downward momentum has eased for now. Indian SAN prices have stabilised near recent lows, following several weeks of gradual decline that pushed values lower by early winter standards.

Looking at the broader timeline, prices are down Rs 9/kg on both a fortnight and one-month comparison. This consistent decline across short-term measures suggests a controlled softening rather than abrupt volatility. Over the past three and six months, prices are also lower by Rs 9/kg, underlining that the weakness has been extended and persistent. Within the last month, prices fluctuated between a high near Rs 152/kg and the current low, before flattening out in the most recent week.

On an annual basis, SAN prices are Rs 10/kg lower compared with the same period last year, confirming a longer-term adjustment in the domestic market. Recent sessions have seen reduced volatility, with price movements narrowing as the market finds balance. Indian SAN prices are now trading close to visible support at Rs 142/kg, while resistance remains around Rs 152/kg.
