According to provisional data from the Ministry of Mines, iron ore production reached 289 Mn metric tonnes (MMT), rising by 4.3 per cent from 277 MMT in the previous year. Iron ore alone contributes 70 per cent of the total mineral output regulated under the Mineral Conservation and Development Rules (MCDR) by value.

Manganese ore output climbed 11.8 per cent to 3.8 MMT, while bauxite production rose 2.9 per cent to 24.7 MMT. Lead concentrate output increased by 3.1 per cent, reaching 393 thousand tonnes.
