2003-04 CHROME ORE EXPORT CEILING
4 LAKH TONNES
LOK SABHA
The export ceiling
for low silica friable/fine chromite ore and chromite lumps for
the year 2003-04 fixed by the Government is 4 lakh tonnes. While
some association/companies had requested for an upward revision
of the export ceiling on chrome ore, others had represented for
maintaining status quo. The Government has examined the need for
an increase in the export ceiling on chrome ore and decided to
main the ceiling of 4 lakh tonens with a view to conserve the
available reserves.
This information
was given by the Minister for Steel, Shri B.K. Tripathy in a written
reply in the Lok Sabha today.
