Potentials and Availability of Mineral Raw Materials for Ferro Alloy Production in India

With an ever increasing tempo for more and more iron
and steel production, the demand for ferro alloys has increased considerably, which ultimately depend on the mineral raw materials position. With this in view an appraisal has been made in this paper on the potentials and availability of some of the mineral raw materials for ferro-alloy industry. The different raw materials with their specifications, occurences, distribution, grades, reserves, production, consumption, exports and imports etc. have been discussed.
