Ferro alloys market intelligence and foundry notes
Bansal Brothers has manufactured ferro alloys in Bhilai since 1960. The pieces collected here track the current state of the Ferro Titanium, Ferro Silicon Magnesium and foundry inoculant markets, with cited market data and use-case metallurgical commentary written by the producer side of the supply chain.
European Ferro Titanium oversupply spills into Q2 2026 — India’s structural counter-story
Argus Media's December 2025 viewpoint expects North-American FeTi to keep stagnating through 2026 as European inventory pushes westward. India's stainless capacity is on a separate, structurally healthier trajectory.
EV ductile-iron castings and the FeSiMg grade decision — India 2026
India's foundry sector is on a 15.6% CAGR and BIS now mandates Mg consistency within ±0.5% on imported nodularisers. Where FeSiMg grade selection actually bites in EV automotive casting.
Foundry inoculant selection — active element and addition method, an India 2026 reference
India’s foundry sector heads to USD 42.5B by 2029 and specialty inoculants take share from commodity ferrosilicon. A working reference on Ca / Ba / Sr / Zr selection by addition method.
PLI specialty steel and the Lucknow PAM commissioning — what it changes for ferro-alloy producers
A new 600 TPY plasma arc melting line is in production at Lucknow with named aerospace and defence-sector offtake. Read in context with the PLI specialty steel scheme, the upstream signal is significant.
Indian stainless steel rides EV growth — passenger EV sales up 75% in April 2026
India is the fastest-growing major stainless steel market and the EV demand pull is showing up in real time. What it means for Ferro Titanium and Ferro Silicon Magnesium consumption.
India ductile-iron pipe market triples to USD 11.66B by 2035 on AMRUT and Jal Jeevan capex
AMRUT 2.0's INR 1.18 trillion approved spend and JJM 2.0's INR 8.69 trillion outlay are pulling India's DI pipe market into a 12.5% CAGR. The FeSiMg consumption upstream is a direct consequence.
Scrap chemistry control in Indian Ferro Titanium production — 2026 reference
India is the largest global exporter of ferro alloys and the titanium-scrap supply pipeline behind that book matters more than spot price quotes. Operating notes on scrap segregation and chemistry control.
