Event Details
General Informations
Manganese and Chrome
are essential raw materials for steel-making, ferro-alloys as well as other
products vital for any modern economy. With abundant resources, there is
huge potential in the Indian manganese / chrome ore and ferro-alloy
sector.
India is now sixth
largest producer of manganese ore in the world, with abundant resources to the
tune of 495 million tonnes. However, annual production of manganese ore in the
country in the year 2017-18 was 3.10 million tonnes. Meanwhile, imports have increased
and gone up to the level of 3.56 million tonnes during the year 2017-18.
Import of manganese ore at much higher prices than what is prevailing in the
domestic market without any restrictions on quantity is affecting the miners
who are operating at very low level of production.
India is the fourth
largest producer of chrome ore in the world, with domestic production rising
from 2.87 million tonnes in 2013-14 to 3.46 million tonnes in 2017-18.
Resources of chrome ore in the country are estimated at 344 million tonnes.
India historically has been an important player in the global chrome ore
market. With a focused and progressive market development strategy, it is
possible for India to improve its market share and tap new markets.
Imports of these raw
materials are allowed freely despite the country having ample resources of
these minerals with enough mining capacity and most competitive prices, but
exports have been made unviable with heavy export duty and quantitative
ceilings.
Although India has been
a major producer of ferro-alloys globally, production of ferro-chrome was about
1 million tonnes and ferro-manganese was 0.52 million tonnes in the year
2016-17, whereas that of ferro-silicon stood at 0.09 million tonnes in the same
year. This is despite a total capacity of 5.15 million tonnes of the
ferro-alloy industry. Clearly, there is a huge competition from the global
market and the industry must utilize its full potential and rise to new
levels of technological competitiveness and productivity. The domestic
ferro-alloys industry needs to be promoted through a mix of progressive
market development strategies and suitable fiscal measures to offset cheaper
imports.
This event will provide a unique platform for the manganese / chrome ore and alloy producers, consumers to discuss, technological developments, legislative issues, research and market trends. Producers, consumers buyers and traders will have the opportunity to discuss and review supply and demand related issues in open forums and private meetings. It will also provide ample opportunity to mining / metal technology and equipment suppliers to promote their products.
