Export of Iron ore in the month of October 2013 was significantly down at around 700,000- 800,000 MT owing to ‘Philain’ cyclone that hit Indian east coast in the month of October.

Iron ore exports from India have fallen consistently after government’s measure to control illegal mining in the country.
