India’s pig iron export shipments were recorded at 1.09 million tonnes (mnt) in FY22 (April 2021-March 2022), almost stable y-o-y compared to the previous fiscal year. Vedanta Limited, one of the leading pig iron players in India, stood as the top exporter with 0.4 mnt in FY22, a rise of 74% y-o-y as compared to 0.23 mnt in the previous fiscal. Vedanta produced 790,000 tonnes (t) of pig iron in FY22, higher by 33% y-o-y due to better operational capacity of its furnace after capital repairs in FY21. JSPL, which was the largest pig iron exporter in FY21, slipped to the second position in FY22. The company exported 0.21 mnt, down by 50% y-o-y.
