https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=55621 The Goa Mineral Ore Exporters' Association urged the central government not to extend export duties to low-grade iron ore, arguing that Goan ore is predominantly low-grade and export-oriented, with limited domestic demand. It warned that an export duty would reduce competitiveness due to higher logistics and processing costs, lead to stockpiling and environmental concerns, threaten livelihoods and recently resumed auction-based mining activity, deter future bidders, and reduce state revenues.
