India’s iron ore production touched its highest level till date of over 250 million tonnes (mnt) in FY’22 – a sharp increase of 23% compared with 204 mnt in FY’21. Production rose on higher output from India’s top iron ore producing state of Odisha as well as marginally higher output from the other key states. Total output had slumped 17% y-o-y in FY’21 due to loss in production following the transfer of mining leases after the mineral auctions in Odisha and the COVID-19 outbreak disturbing logistics and supply chains.
