Metalsbuy SiMn Index

What is the Metalsbuy SiMn Index?

The Metalsbuy SiMn Index tracks the traded price of High Carbon Silico Manganese 60/14 on an EXW Raipur basis, compiled from transactions and verified quotes on the Metalsbuy platform. Raipur sits at the heart of India's ferro alloy belt, and the ex-works price agreed there is the benchmark most Indian buyers and sellers negotiate against. The charts above also cover HC SiMn 65/15 and FOB Vizag export levels, so domestic and export parity can be compared on one page.

How to read these charts

Each point represents the price level for that period rather than a single deal, so short spikes are smoothed while genuine trend shifts remain visible. A sustained gap between the 60/14 and 65/15 lines usually reflects the premium commanded by higher manganese content; a narrowing FOB–EXW spread often signals stronger export demand pulling material toward the ports.

Where the numbers come from
