India Molybdenum Market Trends:

Growing Alloy Use in Steel

Molybdenum’s strength-enhancing and anti-corrosive qualities are supporting its rising use in steel manufacturing across India. Infrastructure expansion and precision engineering projects are pushing demand for specialized steel grades that include molybdenum. Manufacturers are gradually shifting toward producing higher-performance stainless and structural steel, which requires consistent molybdenum inputs. Industrial construction, bridges, and chemical plants are key demand points. During 2024, steel producers initiated new sourcing contracts for molybdenum to stabilize supply amid growing project pipelines. This indicates an effort to secure alloy materials as domestic demand accelerates. Supply chain adjustments are also underway to reduce reliance on spot imports and improve delivery timelines. Simultaneously, recovery of molybdenum from metallurgical waste is gaining attention as a supplemental source. The move toward efficient raw material use and higher-grade outputs is placing molybdenum at the center of India’s shift to durable and specialized steel products.

Refining Sector Driving Catalyst Need

In the refining and petrochemical industries, molybdenum serves as a core element in catalyst systems for desulfurization and hydroprocessing. With regulatory pressure on emissions and fuel quality, the need for high-performing catalysts is rising. Refineries are modifying their operational strategies to extend catalyst life and improve molybdenum recovery. In the second half of 2024, upgrades in catalyst regeneration capacity were introduced to enhance local processing and reduce molybdenum wastage. These changes reflect an ongoing effort to optimize input use in refining while aligning with clean energy targets. Catalyst manufacturers are reporting steady demand from processing units across fuel, chemical, and lubricant production. Additionally, there is more focus on balancing imports with refined or recycled molybdenum content to manage operational costs. As energy efficiency measures deepen, molybdenum’s utility in supporting reaction stability and process performance is becoming more embedded in industrial strategies.
