With the current financial year drawing to a close in little over a month, Indian iron-ore production is poised to hit a five-year high.
While official aggregate production data was yet to be available, granular province-wise iron-ore production data collated indicate that Indian iron-ore production during 2016/17 was expected to touch 180-million tonnes, the highest since 2010/11 when it was pegged at 207-million tonnes.
