Why CCI studied the iron ore sector:

CCI regularly conducts market studies to understand market dynamics and ensure fair competition.

Previous studies focused on diverse sectors like e-commerce, telecom, and pharma.

This study aimed to evaluate competition in the iron ore mining sector and its impact on the steel industry.

Key findings:

India is largely self-sufficient in iron ore and a major global producer (4th largest).

Iron ore exports exceed imports, and India's export competitiveness has improved since 2015, especially for value-added products like pellets.

The sector has strong vertical integration, with 95% of iron ore going to the steel industry.
