London-listed metals group Vedanta resources Plc said it would export 5.5 million tonnes (mt) of iron ore from its mines in Goa by March as the company restarts operations with the permission of the country’s apex court.
Mining in the key iron ore states of Karnataka and Goa was banned in 2011 and 2012, respectively, following a crackdown on illegal mining by the Supreme Court and the government.
