02/24/040/001 69/AM18 The applicant applied for import of raw material “Manganese Ore Mn-30%-60% and Coke” for manufacturing and export of 1) Ferro Silico Manganese & 2) Ferro Manganese (Fe Mn).
The case was ratified in NC-2 Meeting No. 5/81 dated 10.10.2018 as per SION at C522 for Export product No. 01 and SION at C477 for export product No. 02 as per comments given by MoS vide U. O. No. 2(10)/2016-TD dated 09.10.2018.
The applicant had requested for reviewing of already approved ad-hoc norms. They had stated that for manufacturing of 1 MT of above said export items the imported raw materials required @2.25 i.e. with 125% wastage, which occurs during manufacturing of the subject export item. The representation along with complete set of application was referred to Consultant (SKB) vide email dated 28.09.2020 for examination and comments. The case was considered in M. No. 8/81 dated 29.09.2020, the Committee decided to seek from the applicant following information as per comments given by Consultant (SKB):

How much quantity of Ferro Manganese slag is used in total charge mix (Manganese ore and Ferro manganese slag)?
What is the percentage of MnO in Ferro Manganese slag?
How much slag will be produced by production of 1000 MT Ferro Manganese to be exported under AA?

As per NC decision, D/L was sent to the applicant on 18.11.2020. The case was considered in M.

The Committee considered the case as per agenda and noted the comments of Consultant (SKB) received via email dated 15.07.2021 & 22.07.2021 wherein it is stated that the quantity of Manganese Ore (with +40% Mn), allowed in the SION at C-477 and C- 522, is not, actually sufficient for production of 1 MT of Ferro Silico Manganese and Ferro Manganese.
As per material balance, calculation on the recovery of manganese (80%) during melting of 30-60% (Average:45%) grade of Manganese ore for production Silico Manganese of 60- 65% (Average: 62.5%), the quantity of Manganese Ore has worked out to 11246.40 MT and 5400 MT coke carbon against export of 6750 MT Ferro Silico Manganese. Similarly, with 76% recovery of manganese ore during melting for production of Ferro manganese, the quantity of manganese ore has worked out to 14245.89 MT and 5062.50 MT Coke Carbon against 6750 MT export of Ferro Manganese of 70-75% Manganese.

Therefore, on the basis of comments of Consultant (SKB), the Committee decided to revise the ad-hoc norms as under: Approved
