Facor Alloys

What Facor Alloys does

Facor Alloys Limited (FACOR), incorporated in 1955 and headquartered in Shreeramnagar, Garividi, Vizianagaram District, Andhra Pradesh, is one of India's largest producers and exporters of ferroalloys serving steel and stainless steel manufacturers. The company operates a single integrated manufacturing complex spanning approximately 90 acres, featuring submerged electric arc furnaces — including an indigenously developed 16MVA furnace for High Carbon Ferro Chrome commissioned in 1981 — with installed capacity of 72,000 tons per year. Supporting infrastructure includes a 132/11 KV sub-station with a 40 MVA sanctioned load from APEPDCL, chrome ore beneficiation and agglomeration facilities, a mechanized briquetting plant, a metal recovery plant, and individual bag filter pollution control systems on all furnaces. The facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has historically operated at beyond 100% capacity utilization.

FACOR produces four core ferroalloy products: High Carbon Ferro Chrome (Cr 58-62%), Silico Manganese (Mn 60%, Si 14-15%), Ferro Manganese (Mn 75%), and an indigenously developed Ferro Silicon Magnesium for foundry applications. The company generates revenue through direct B2B sales to steel and stainless steel manufacturers, with exports to Korea, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, USA, Turkey, China, and Taiwan. Following its acquisition by Vedanta Group, FACOR sits within the residual Vedanta Limited portfolio alongside Hindustan Zinc, Sterlite Copper, and Nicomet after the May 2026 demerger, with overseas subsidiaries in the Netherlands (mineral trading) and Turkey (mining operations) supporting international reach. Pricing follows commodity market dynamics with no publicly disclosed tiers. A 2026 postal ballot signals intent to diversify into logistics infrastructure and Gati Shakti Cargo Terminal operations. Recent leadership changes include the July 2026 appointment of Manoj Kumar Keshari as CEO.
