Event Details
General Informations
India’s emergence as the world’s
second-largest crude steel producer, coupled with the continued expansion of
its domestic steel industry, is expected to drive demand for manganese ore,
chromite and ferro-alloys. The proposed Draft National Steel Policy: Vision
2047, envisages increasing India’s crude steel capacity to 604 million tonnes
by 2047, with finished steel demand projected to reach 505 million tonnes.
These ambitious growth targets highlight the strategic importance of ensuring
the long-term availability of essential mineral resources to support the
expansion of the steel and ferro-alloys industries.
As per the National Mineral Inventory of
Indian Bureau of Mines, India’s total resources of manganese ore are estimated
at approximately 599.27 million tonnes and 514.63 million tonnes of chromite as
on 1 April 2025. These substantial resource endowments provide a basis for
strengthening domestic mineral supply chains to meet the growing requirements. However,
despite this abundant resource base, dependence on high grade manganese ore
imports remains a critical concern, driven by the depletion of high-grade
reserves and the declining average grade of domestically available ore. Imports
of Manganese ore stood at 4.64 million tonnes in FY 2022–23, increased to 6.89 million
tonnes in FY 2025-26, representing an approximately 1.5 times increase over the
period, highlighting the growing reliance on imports to meet domestic
requirements. Therefore, there is need to accelerate domestic exploration and
mining, improve ore recovery through proper indigenous technologies, and
strengthen raw material security.
Ferro alloys are essential to the Indian
steel industry, significantly contributing to both domestic consumption and
foreign exchange. Despite this fact, industry faces several structural
challenges that constrain long-term growth and global competitiveness.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a roadmap for addressing raw-material
security, investment, technology, environmental compliance and international
competitiveness in the sector.
The key priorities should include faster
exploration, new blocks coming for auction, faster operationalization of newly
allocated mines, streamlining statutory clearances, sustainable development of
existing mining areas, and investment in advanced green technology for exploration,
beneficiation, recovery of mineral values with efficient processing.
This event will provide a
unique platform for the manganese / chrome ore and alloy explorers, 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 the summit. 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.
