India’s iron-ore production poised for five-year high

With the current financial year drawing to a close in little over a month, India's iron-ore production is poised to hit a five-year high. While official aggregate production data is not yet available, granular province-wide iron-ore production data indicate that India's iron-ore production for 2016/17 is likely to touch 180-million tonnes, the highest since 2010/11, when the country produced 207-million tonnes of iron-ore.
