At the time, concerns over tightening global supply and reduced allocations from major miners prompted alloy producers to secure sizeable volumes at elevated prices.<\/p>\n<p>These high-priced cargoes are now arriving and being consumed, leaving producers with comfortable inventory levels across key alloy-producing regions. Consequently, fresh ore procurement has taken a back seat, with most buyers adopting a cautious, wait-and-watch approach. Although domestic manganese alloy prices have shown signs of recovery in recent weeks, the improvement has yet to translate into stronger raw material demand, as smelters continue to rely on existing stocks rather than entering the market for fresh bookings. As a result, spot market activity remains subdued, and ample inventory availability continues to weigh on imported manganese ore prices.<\/p>\n<p>Stronger alloy demand lifts Mn alloy prices, ample inventories weigh on ore: Indian manganese alloy prices moved up w-o-w, supported by limited spot availability, stronger buying interest, and firm production costs. Silico manganese (60-14) prices increased by INR 750\/t ($8\/t) to INR 75,200-76,000\/t ($785-793\/t), while HC 65-16 export prices rose by $12\/t to $918\/t FOB Vizag\/Haldia. Ferro manganese (70%) prices also strengthened to INR 79,000\/t ($825\/t) across Raipur and Durgapur, with 75% grade export prices gaining $10\/t to $922\/t FOB Vizag\/Haldia.<\/p>\n<p>Imported manganese ore arrivals rise w-o-w:Weekly manganese ore cargo arrivals (Mn37%, Mn44%, and Mn46%) to India increased by 37% to 293,686 t over 31 May -06 June 2026 against 214,703 t in the previous week.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-760053\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wp-insights-sm.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Mn-ore-cargo-13-Jun.png?resize=640%2C140&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"140\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Outlook:<\/p>\n<p>Market sentiment is expected to remain cautious in the near term, with ample inventories and muted spot activity likely to keep imported manganese ore prices under pressure.
