Overview
SteelMint is pleased to announce its 5th Annual Indian Iron Ore Summit, which will be taking place from 3rd to 4th August, 2022 in New Delhi.
The premier event in its fifth edition, is set to continue its role in addressing key issues of the Indian iron ore and steel industry. It will focus on iron ore and steel market dynamics and outlook, existing and new policies on the anvil, growth and development, sustainability and decarbonization goals and other challenges.
Iron ore industry is a highly policy-driven sector in India, and these are often game-changers. For instance, Government decision to impose export duty on iron ore and pellet exports, the possible Goa mines auction iron ore mines and the Supreme Court allowing iron ore exports in Karnataka.
