Event Details
General Informations
With India aiming to become a global hub for
steel production, the demand for both manganese and chrome and ferro alloy is
expected to rise steadily. As manganese and chrome ore are the basic raw materials
for steel making, with the growth of iron and steel sector, there is huge
potential of manganese, chrome ore and ferro-alloys industry in India.
Globally, the importance of manganese ore is increasing as a vital material in
future of electric vehicles industry with the commitment for reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and leveraging renewable energy sources.
Our country is endowed with huge resources of
manganese ore to the tune of 504 million tonnes and chrome ore to the tune of
332 million tonnes as on 1st April, 2020. However, it is ironical that despite
possessing rich resources, domestic mining industry and ferro-alloy industry is
compelled to import these minerals. The National Steel Policy of India, 2017
aspires to achieve 300 million tonnes of steelmaking capacity by 2030. Hence,
there is need for enhanced production to meet the requirement of 11 milllion
tonnes of manganese ore and 5 million tonnes of chrome ore by 2030-31.
Ferro alloys are essential to the Indian steel
industry, significantly contributing to both domestic consumption and foreign
exchange earnings. Despite this fact, the industry faces several structural,
operational, and policy-related challenges that hinder its growth and global
competitiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a roadmap so that
industry rise to new levels with enhanced productivity.
Due to shifting
of global supply chains, green energy transitions, and geopolitical
uncertainties, stakeholders across the value chain from exploration and extraction
to processing and trade face both new opportunities and pressing challenges.
These include sustainability imperatives, price volatility, and the urgent need
for technological innovation. Further, at the same time, challenges such as raw
material shortage, non-operation of new mines, and resource depletion in existing
mining zones, environmental compliance, beneficiation requirements, and logistics
bottlenecks necessitate a coordinated approach among stakeholders.
This
summit will provide a unique platform for the manganese / chrome ore and alloy
producers, consumers, technology suppliers, as well as others to discuss green technological
developments, legislative issues, ESG, research & development 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. Suppliers of exploration, mining processing equipment and
metallurgical technologies will have an opportunity to make presentations on
manganese/chrome ore and alloys to the stakeholders.
