India's iron ore exports dip, steel firms seek cap | Reuters.com:
"India's iron ore industry said on Friday that a duty on exports imposed in February and a strong rupee had dragged down sales, but steelmakers disagreed and again sought a cap on overseas shipments.

The government initially set an export duty of 300 rupees per tonne of all iron ores, but later cut the rate applicable to low-grade sales to 50 rupees following protests by the mining industry."
