Supreme Court allows Goa to e-auction nearly 11 million tonnes of iron-ore

12 Nov 2013 Evaluate

Offering little relief to the local mining industry and potentially doubling the country's exports this year, country’s Supreme Court has permitted electric auction of around 11.48 million metric tonnes of iron ore already mined at Goa before the mining ban was imposed in 2012 because of environmental concerns.

However, not opening all the doors at one-go, the Supreme Court underscored that it would set-up six-member expert committee, to decide on a cap for Goa's iron ore output, which would submit an interim report by February 15, 2014. Further, country’s Apex Court also ruled for supervision of e-auction by a four-member team and directed to keep the proceeds from e-auction, excluding sales tax and royalties, in fixed deposits lease wise, till the legality of these mines were decided upon.

Absence of many refineries in India that could process the low-grade iron produced in Goa made the state account for half of country’s export. Meanwhile, before the ban in Goa and neighboring Karnataka to clamp down on illegal mining, India used to ship ore worth more than $ 7 billion per year. However, after this the country’s export to China plunged by 75% at 8 million tonnes from January -September against the same period last year.
