MOIL Limited increases prices of key Ferro and Chemical grade manganese ores by 3% for December 2025, while SMGR, fines, and EMD rates remain unchanged.
MOIL Limited, India’s leading manganese ore producer and a Government of India enterprise, has announced a fresh revision of manganese ore prices for the October–December 2025 quarter, specifically applicable from midnight of November 30 to December 1, 2025. The update was formally communicated to NSE and BSE under Regulation 30 of SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements.
As part of the latest revision, MOIL has increased prices of all Ferro grades containing 44% manganese and above, as well as those below 44%, by 3 percent for December 2025. In contrast, the company has kept prices unchanged for SMGR grades (Mn 30% and Mn 25%), all Fines grades, SMGR (Mn 20%), and Metal Mandi Fines such as UKF532, DBF575, and MSF592, continuing the rates fixed on November 1, 2025.
Chemical grade manganese ore has also seen a 3 percent hike, while the base price of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) remains steady at ₹1,95,000 per metric tonne, providing stability for industries reliant on this essential material. The revision notice was issued by Neeraj Dutt Pandey, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer of MOIL Limited.
These price adjustments are expected to have a direct impact on sectors such as steel, alloys, chemicals, and battery manufacturing, where manganese ore plays a critical role in production.
