Iron Ore ( 54 to 63 FE) / pellet trading
 

Apart from Iso marine container manufacturing , fabrication and trading , we are into trading of iron Ore ( grade of 54 to 63 Fe content ) / Pellets within India and we are in this trading activities since year’ 2005, our prime concern is providing our buyers with high / consistent quality and impeccable services. We had supplied almost 5,400,000 metric tons of Iron ore / Pellets to the trade.

Prior to 2006, Indian steel sector was majorly using iron ore lumps as feed material. Few integrated steel plants had the capacity to use fines through captive sinter plants. The lower usage of fines, which constitute approximately 60% of the mined output was a big challenge. Accumulation of fines at mine head was an environmental hazard as well as lowered overall mining output due to limited space. In order to facilitate the usage of fines for domestic consumption, Government of India promoted setting up pellet plants where the loose fines can be agglomerated in form of a lumpy iron ore having defined properties. The present capacity of pellet making in India is more 63 Million Mt as on Jan 2014, which includes captive capacity of aprox 60%. Sice then EXODUS had started trading Iron Ore / pellets within India and had grown as one of the leading trader in India.

EXODUS has long – term tie – up with almost all leading Mines in India for supply of Iron – Ore / Pellets through out India . As on April 2014, Within Karnataka there are 5 major pellet manufacturers have running operations and we have long - term supply contract with all of them and they are operating a 1.2 Million MTPA pellet plant for serving the domestic iron and steel industry . There are around 60 mid-sized sponge iron units located in Karnataka and nearly states like Telangana, Goa, AP and Maharashtra. EXODUS is a preferred supplier to most of these units due to quality and services. Pellets made by them have high Fe and CCS which gives better yield to the buyers while converting into sponge iron and then to liquid steel. The consistent quality of the pellets has made a niche for itself.

Due to present judicial orders, iron ore pellets made using Karnataka iron ore cannot be exported, therefore export has been nil.

The central government further de-incentivized the export of pellets by imposing a 5% export duty.

The Iron and Steel sector has been looking at alternative methods to utilize the low grade iron ore fines for iron making so that there is optimal utilization of the available iron ore resources. The growth of the Steel Industry over the years, especially in China, despite the depletion of high grade Iron Ore, has taken place on the strength of technologies such as Beneficiation, Sintering and Pelletization. These technologies enhance the productivity of the blast furnaces in Steel making and hence, lower the cost of steel production leading to increase in trading aspects.

The Indian steel industry which predominantly uses expensive lump ore is gradually moving towards usage of sintered ore and pellets. Perennially , EXODUS have sufficient stock which are forayed into pellets, with a modest start of 720,000 Metric tones per annum , the pellet plant is near Hosapete. We trade and cater to the requirements of sponge Iron manufacturers in South India, by providing customers premium quality pellets which will yield higher metalized Sponge Iron with reduced costs.

Quality of Final Pellet

Quality Assurance

Quality is our primary objective at EXODUS. Everything that leaves our shipments bear a stamp of quality and this is something we, at the EXODUS, take very seriously.

Quality monitoring starts even before mining. An elaborate exploration of the mine is undertaken and the face samples are drawn and analyzed before we progress.

Our sampling and analysis is undertaken at the time of excavation, to confirm the results of the exploration. The process plant is the next stage of sampling, where the proper working of the plant is assessed by our team.

The final product is then analyzed, before dispatch, and the proper blend is ascertained accordingly and shipped.

We are the first trading company to get endorsement by the ISO 9001:2000 version which lay emphasis on customer satisfaction.
