Fresh dampener on increased iron-ore production cap in Goa

The western Indian province of Goa is staring at the possibility of a cut in the yearly production cap for iron-ore, following a fresh petition filed before the Supreme Court. A nongovernmental organisation (NGO) has approached the apex court, seeking a reduction of the production cap from 20-million to 12-million tons a year, at a time when a court-appointed committee had recommended an increase in the production limits.
