OMC reduces Indian chrome ore price for Q1 shipments

It is reported that Orissa Mining Corporation has reduced the price of Indian chrome ore for domestic sale to a large extent. The new price is applied to shipments in January to March 2009 quarter.

As per report, a typical high grade chrome ore produced in India has contained Cr2O3 48% to 49.99% and its price has been reduced to INR 4,976 per tonne, corresponding to approximately USD 96 per tonne, which has fallen to nearly half of the price for October to December 2008 quarter.

At all events, the higher prices of USD 700 to USD 800 per tonne had once prevailed in the international market, mainly in China. However, owing to the cutback of ferrochrome to be produced from chrome ore as implemented from October of 2008, the world demand for chrome ore has decreased to a large extent and, in order to cope with this aspect, price of Indian chrome ore for domestic sale has been urged to revise.
