Tin prices dropped further at the non-ferrous metal market here today due to sustained selling by stockists and traders amid subdued industrial demand.
Elsewhere, select copper and aluminium also moved down on reduced offtake from consumer industries.
Meanwhile, copper sheets cutting, brass sheets cutting and lead edged higher owing to better buying from industrial users.
In overseas trade, the industrial metals rallied at the London Metal Exchange (LME) on expectations of strong demand from China, despite its fresh monetary policy tightening move to curb inflationary pressure and supportive economic data.
