India sees one of the highest ever iron-ore buying by China in April - Feb period

China's iron ore buying from India has increased since the withdrawal of Covid restrictions in China. In the 11-month period of FY24, 92% of Indian iron ore exports went to China, marking the highest ever shipment in percentage terms in a seven-year period. India's exports of iron ore stood at 44.23 million tonnes, up 162% year-on-year, with shipments to China increasing almost 200%. Chinese iron ore imports rose over 8% year-on-year in the first two months of 2024, as steelmakers replenished their stocks. However, industry bodies have called for export restrictions on iron ore to address domestic needs.

India proposes benchmarking domestic iron ore price to S&P Platts index

The new proposal aims to standardize pricing across states and ensure accurate revenue calculation. This change will impact the royalty and funds allocated for developing mining-affected areas, potentially increasing state revenue from iron ore sales.
