The "India Iron ore Mining to 2035" provides a comprehensive coverage of India’s iron ore industry. It provides historical and forecast data on iron ore production, production by company, reserves by country, and world iron ore prices. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the India iron ore industry. It further profiles major iron ore producers, and information on the major active, planned, and exploration projects by region.
India surpassed China as the third-largest iron ore producer in the world with 289.4Mt supply in 2024, contributing 11.3% of the global total. India's iron ore production is anticipated to have increased by 6.3% in 2025 to 307.7Mt, reflecting strong consistent production and sustained mining expansion from major mines such as the Bailadila Iron Ore mines (Bacheli and Kirandul Complex), Nuagaon, Noamundi and Katamati mines as companies aim to rise iron ore production.
Looking ahead, India’s iron ore production is anticipated to grow further in 2026 to reach 318.8Mt - a 3.6% year on year (Y-o-Y) increase. This growth will be underpinned by the continuous strong production and ongoing capacity expansions from key producing mines such as the Guali Iron ore Mine, Nuagaon, Naomundi and Bailadila Iron ore mines (Bacheli and Kirandul Complex).
