Miners in Goa expect to sell 20 million tonnes (MT) of iron ore that they have been allowed to mine from the state and are prepared to slash prices in a bid to make their ore competitive amid demand slowdown.
Goa mainly produces low grade iron ore (with iron content generally in the range of 55-58 percent) that is exported to China and other consuming countries. Iron ore is the main ingredient for making steel.
