India is amongst the top 5 countries in iron ore pelletisation capacity. Palletizing is a process of converting very fine iron ore into uniform sized pellets, very convenient and fit for use in blast furnace and direct reduction furnace. Indian pellet manufacturing industries can be classified into two major categories.
- Pellet manufacturing for captive use
- Pellet manufacturing for merchant sell
The Uses Of Pellet
The raw materials for iron making are affordable and of high quality and but are decreasing on a global scale. With the passage of time, significant changes and valuable technological advances in the domestic iron ore market and given the increasing uncertainties in the global steel market, India’s iron ore export has taken a hit. For this reason, a substantial number of iron and steel producers are looking forward to increase the portion of pellets in their production operations. The fluctuating prices on the world market are seriously affecting cost-efficient ironmaking. The pellets are used as raw materials for iron making in the plants as an alternative material. They are a preferred choice of material over sinter and lump ore for their excellent designed metallurgical properties, shape, size, and strength in blast furnaces. The use of pellets resulted in increasing the productivity of the ironmaking units without any capital investment. As per a famous report, pelletisation has emerged as an independent economic activity and is being increasingly held as a viable one. What started out as an exploration with time has now turned out to be nothing short of a trend. Pellet became a key feed material in the production of iron and steel in the domestic market. Its importance has made it essential to assess the market trends in this emerging but niche segment in terms of the spread of the Indian Iron Ore Pellet Industry.
