2013年印度铁矿产量下滑11%

  2013年1月至12月印度铁矿产量共计1.361亿吨，和2012年的1.526亿吨相比下降了11%。下滑主要是受Goa地区的禁令影响。2011年总产量为1.92亿吨。
   印度业内人士认为，2014年印度铁矿石市场预期会比2013年好很多，预估铁矿产量可能会超过1.5亿吨。如果最高法庭能够批准取消Goa地区的禁令，2014年的铁矿产量甚至可以更高。然而不得不承认的是，印度铁矿生产只有等到雨季结束之后才能正常进行，这可能会影响到2014年4季度的近600-700万吨的产量。
   2013年，铁矿石出口总量达1500万吨，占总产量的11%。其中，奥利萨邦出口800万吨，占总出口量的一半以上。受5%的球团出口税影响，球团出口量不断下滑。但印度业内人士认为，Goa地区的量完全可以弥补球团出口量下滑的损失。

India’s iron ore production from January to December in 2013 registered a decline of 11 per cent to 136 million tonnes (mt) compared to 152.6 mt a year ago, provisional figures with the mines’ ministry said. The production in January-December 2011 was 192 million tonnes.

The decline was mainly due to no mining in Goa and the delay in the resumption of mines in Karnataka. The latter produced 16 mt in 2013.

Andhra Pradesh production saw a 30 per cent decline as the state had stopped production in some mines. Odisha produced the most, 62 mt and Jharkhand 17 mt.  In 2013, the highest production was in May (13 mt), followed by December's at 12.4 mt.
In Karnataka, the production had started in 24 mines (16 in Category A, eight in B), capacity, 10 mt. The NMDC is producing with two leases (annual capacity, 12 mt). However, the production is nine mt a year.

“The outlook for 2014 will be much better than 2013's as we expect the production to cross 150 mt. If the Supreme Court allows resumption of mining in Goa, the production could be a little higher. However, production could start only after monsoon and might put out six-seven mt in the last quarter of 2014,” said Prakash Duvvuri, head of research, OreTeam.

During 2013, exports were 15 mt, 11 per cent of the production. From April to January, Odisha exported eight mt, data compiled by OreTeam showed.

With pellet exports seeing a slowdown following the imposition of a five per cent duty, total exports of ore are likely to be impacted. However, the ore from Goa could make up for the loss, Duvvuri said.
