  On April 16, India's Tata Steel Mining Co., Ltd. (tsml), the Mining Department of Tata Steel, said it plans to double its ferrochrome capacity from 450000 tons to 900000 tons as India's demand for stainless steel continues to grow.

  Tsml has acquired three chrome mines, Sukinda, Saruabil and Kamarda, in the mine auction in 2020, with a lease term of 50 years. These mines are now in operation with an annual capacity of more than 1.5 million tons, making the company the largest chrome miner in India.

  The idea behind the plan is to make full use of chrome ore to make ferrochrome to meet the growing demand of stainless steel customers in India and around the world.

  DB sundara Ramam, chairman of Tata Steel Mining Co., Ltd., said that Tata would use high-quality chrome ore supply to enhance India's ferrochrome production capacity, making tsml one of the top ferrochrome producers in India and even the world, and ranking among the top five in the world.
