| India's Smiore |
India's Sandur Manganese and Iron Ore (Smiore) has received environmental clearance to increase its manganese ore production capacity in Bellary, Karnataka. The company's plan, which has been approved by both the Environment Ministry and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB), will raise its manganese ore output from 430,000 tonnes per year to 550,000 tonnes per year under the Air and Water Act.
This expansion is expected to lead to increased production of ferro-manganese and silico-manganese, crucial alloys in steel manufacturing. However, the company has not yet specified a timeline for completing this project.
Expanding Production Amid Growing Demand
Smiore operates two mines with reserves estimated at 17 million tonnes of manganese ore and 117 million tonnes of iron ore. In the April-June quarter, the company sold 9,396 tonnes of ferro-alloy, marking a 35% year-on-year increase. This production boost positions Smiore to meet the rising demand for ferro-alloys in India and globally.
