In an era where margins are razor-thin and global competition is intensifying, the smart sourcing of raw materials has emerged as a strategic lever for industrial buyers. Among these materials, iron ore pellets play a crucial role in steel production, offering consistency, efficiency, and environmental benefits. For bulk buyers such as steel plants, foundries, and […]

In the world of industrial fuel sourcing, imported coal often carries a perception of being risky, especially with foreign exchange (FX) volatility. But here’s the catch –  even with fluctuating currencies, imported coal might actually be more cost-effective than domestic alternatives. So how does that work? Let’s break it down. The Real Cost of Coal

In 2025, the phrase “Waste Not, Want Not” is no longer just a moral compass, it’s a national strategy. As India strides into a new era of industrial development, infrastructure growth, and sustainability mandates, scrap management has emerged as a critical frontier for policymakers, industries, and environmentalists alike. Among all forms of recyclable waste, ferrous

In the evolving landscape of steel production, 2025 has emerged as a pivotal year. With nations pushing for sustainability and industries optimizing for cost, the age-old question resurfaces: Should we rely on scrap or stick to iron ore for our steel? Let’s break down the facts, data, and realities to discover how India—and the world—are

In an era dominated by global climate goals and the accelerating push toward net-zero emissions, the coal industry faces a defining question: Can traditional fuels like coal remain relevant in a carbon-regulated economy? As countries tighten climate policies, carbon credit markets are emerging as a double-edged sword  presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for

In a world rocked by geopolitical uncertainty, inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, and climate-related disruptions, the question isn’t just “how much?” anymore ,  it’s “how good, how consistent, and how resilient?” This shift is especially true for industries relying on raw materials, where choosing the right supplier can make or break operations.  In 2025, with market

When it comes to fuels –  whether you’re in power, steel, cement, or manufacturing –  there’s one number that decides how far your money, efficiency, and production will go. That number is Calorific Value (CV) What Is Calorific Value (CV), Really? Calorific Value is the amount of heat energy produced when a specified amount of

When it comes to powering plants, producing steel, or manufacturing cement –  not all coal is created equal. Imagine using a matchstick to fuel a boiler –  that’s what it feels like when the wrong grade of coal is used in an industrial setup. The result? Low output, high emissions, rising costs, and falling efficiency.

In a world where geopolitical tensions can flare without warning, from trade disruptions to full-blown border conflicts,  businesses are realizing that a resilient supply chain is not a luxury, but a necessity. As India faces ongoing challenges on its frontlines, the role of industries behind the scenes becomes even more critical. From powering essential infrastructure

When nations are tested by the fires of conflict, it’s not just the valor of their soldiers or the precision of their diplomacy that shapes the outcome, it’s also the strength of their infrastructure. And at the very core of that strength lies ferrous materials: steel, iron, alloys, and scrap that form the backbone of
