Due to the Corona Virus outbreak in China, major ports and transportation within the country are hugely affected. Most of the Carbon needs for Ferro Silicon production is met by China, but due to the extended Chinese New Year holiday the supply-demand chain was hampered and most of the producers in India and Bhutan are worried about the raw material supply.

Meanwhile, offers from Guwahati based producers are also at around INR 90,000/MT Ex-plant.
