About IFAPA (Organizer)
The Indian Ferro Alloy Producers’ Association (IFAPA) stands as a prominent organization dedicated to representing the interests of ferro alloys producers in India. Established in 1961 with the aim of promoting and safeguarding the collective interests of the ferro alloys industry, IFAPA plays a vital role in advocating for policies that foster the growth and sustainability of the sector.
Initially founded with five members and Sir A. Ramaswami Mudaliar as the Founder Chairman, IFAPA has since expanded its membership to include over 80 members, encompassing nearly all major ferro alloys producers—both bulk and noble.
IFAPA serves as a platform for collaboration among industry stakeholders, facilitating the exchange of ideas, sharing of knowledge, and addressing common challenges faced by the industry in general and its members in particular.
Engaging with government bodies, regulatory authorities, and other relevant stakeholders, IFAPA actively works to influence policies, regulations, and standards affecting the ferro alloys industry. Through its initiatives, IFAPA aims to bolster the competitiveness of Indian ferro alloys producers, promote innovation, and ensure the industry's contribution to economic development and industrial progress, in alignment with the vision of the Honourable Prime Minister of India for a continuous progress on achieving the vision for 'Viksit Bharat.'
