India’s iron ore production climbed up sharply by 17% y-o-y in H1CY’26 to 184 million tonnes (mnt), according to provisional data maintained by BigMint. The surge was driven by operational ramp-ups at two of India’s largest merchant miners — National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) and Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC). Rapid mine development and capacity operationalisation also drove an exponential 176% increase in output from Maharashtra-based Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited (LMEL).
