Silico Manganese Prices are falling continuously owing to falling demand, as there is surplus production and Steel Mills are sitting with enough inventory which is bringing down the prices. There are power issues in Durgapur region from DVC (Damodar Valley Corporation) which is restricting production in that particular region.
