Silico manganese (60-14) prices declined by INR 750\/t ($8\/t) to INR 74,900-75,600\/t ($786-793\/t), while HC 65-16 export prices slipped by $5\/t to $918\/t FOB Vizag\/Haldia.

The price reduction reflects softer market sentiment and weaker buying interest, as subdued manganese alloy demand has prompted buyers to remain cautious with fresh bookings.<\/p>\n<p>Imported manganese ore arrivals rise w-o-w:\u00a0Weekly manganese ore cargo arrivals (Mn37%, Mn44%, and Mn46%) to India increased by 45% to 257,592 t over 28 June-04 July 2026 against 177,450 t in the previous week.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-768734\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wp-insights-sm.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Mn-ore-11-Jul-2026.png?resize=640%2C121&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"121\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Outlook:<\/p>\n<p>Imported manganese ore prices are expected to remain under mild pressure, as weak manganese alloy demand, comfortable smelter inventories, and lower overseas miner offers continue to curb fresh buying.
