The demand for ferrochrome has risen, Merafe Resources said on Wednesday.
It haS responded by increasing ferrochrome production capacity at the Xstrata-Merafe joint venture to 60 percent, the company said in a statement.
This had necessitated the re-commissioning of several furnaces at the venture's five ferrochrome operations.
The venture had been using only three of its 20 ferrochrome furnaces due to a drop in the price of ferrochrome.
"Ferrochrome demand is being monitored on a continuous basis and capacity utilisation will be adjusted in line with such variations in demand," Merafe said.
