Social inventories of silicon metal across Huangpu port, Kunming city and Tianjin port expanded 5,000 mt from the prior week to 67,000 mt as of Friday March 5, SMM data showed.

SHANGHAI, March 5 (SMM) – Social inventories of silicon metal across Huangpu port, Kunming city and Tianjin port expanded 5,000 mt from the prior week to 67,000 mt as of Friday March 5, SMM data showed.

Silicon stocks in south China were shipped from Yunnan Kunming to Huangpu port, and shipments to Tianjin port also rose sharply this week, as many export orders will be delivered after CNY and as some traders stockpiled cargoes amid rising silicon prices.
Silicon social inventories are expected to remain stable in the short term.

[SMM Chromium Flash] FACOR’s Ferrochrome Production Rises 26% Year on Year in Q2 FY2027

Ferro Alloys Corporation (FACOR), part of Vedanta, produced 24,000 tonnes of ferrochrome in the quarter ended 30 September 2026, up 26% year on year. Chrome ore production at its mining operations reached 50,000 tonnes during the quarter, while first-half chrome ore output totaled 202,000 tonnes, reflecting increased mining activity. The results highlight improving production at the integrated Indian producer, which operates chrome mines, a ferrochrome smelter and captive power facilities. Higher ferrochrome output could support domestic supply, although the quarterly figures alone do not establish a broader change in India’s ferrochrome market balance.

[SMM Chromium Flash] Afrochine Secures US$155.5 Million Financing for 115 MW Solar Project

Afrochine Smelting has secured a US$155.5 million financing package for the 115 MW Centrachine Solar PV Project in Selous, Zimbabwe, following the signing of a direct agreement with project developer African Transmission Corporation. The package comprises an US$87.5 million long-term facility led by the Trade and Development Bank, a US$65 million bridge facility from Sinohydro Leasing International and a US$3 million facility from FBC Bank, underwritten by Old Mutual. The solar project is designed to supply electricity to Afrochine’s ferrochrome smelting operations through a dedicated transmission line under a 25-year power purchase agreement. Commissioning is targeted for July 2027, ahead of the previous October 2027 schedule. The development could improve long-term electricity security for the energy-intensive smelting operation, although its impact on production costs will depend on the project’s eventual operating performance and power-supply terms.
