Overview of
Ores & Metallics
Steel mills play a significant portion in our business, as a supplier of steel products and as a buyer of steel-making raw materials.
We seek to position ourselves as a prominent participant in the raw material supply chain for steel-making & other related industrial needs, with a widespread network across the globe.
Miners, processing units, quarries & producers worldwide are our major source of supply. We render efficient management of supply chain & price risks, to distribute the products to our global buyer base consisting of steel mills, traders and stockists.

Iron Ore:
Traded as fines (0-10 mm in size), lumps (above 10 mm), concentrates (fine size particles with hardness differences) for sintering and pelletizing. In addition, Iron Ore Pellets of BF and DRI grades are also considered a major product in our portfolio.
We understand the constantly evolving needs of steel mills and provide appropriate products with apt quality to satisfy the specific needs of our counterparties.
We deal in various Fe contents starting from Fe50% and above depending on the industrial end use – cement or steel-making – in the form of fines, lumps and pellets.
Company’s main focus is export of Indian origin cargoes to China and South East Asia markets, besides the MENA region.
Metallics:
Ore-based metallics with their consistent quality and low level of impurities are value-adding ferrous raw material inputs for production of iron and steel and ferrous castings.
We deal in processed & refined steelmaking raw materials of value added nature and efficient in usage. These metallics are used mainly to charge the Electric Arc Furnaces and Foundries.
- Pig Iron
Pig iron is the product of smelting iron ore in blast furnaces with a high-carbon fuel and reductant such as coke/ charcoal/ anthracite, usually with limestone as a flux. It is also produced by smelting ilmenite in electric furnaces. The weight of each pig ranges from 3 kg to 50 kg in different sizes.
We are able to source Basic pig iron (used mainly in electric arc steelmaking), Granulated pig iron (used in BOF as coolant, or as feedstock for electric arc furnaces, cupolas and induction furnaces, Foundry/ Hematite pig iron (used in mainly in the manufacture of grey iron castings in cupola furnaces), and High purity/ Nodular pig iron (used in the manufacture of ductile iron castings.
- Direct Reduced Iron (DRI)
DRI is the product of the direct reduction of iron ore in the solid state by carbon monoxide and hydrogen derived from natural gas or coal. DRI can be either hot or cold charged to the EAF.
We are able to source Gas based as well as Coal based DRI, with high or low carbon content, in pellet or cylindrical shapes, to meet needs of different types of furnaces. Depending on production facility, metallurgical practice, product mix and local scrap supply, we help achieve correct value-in-use of DRI for each of our buyers.
