Resuming the import/export of iron ore from the State's Non-Major ports will enable the efficient utilization of naturally available iron ore in the State, there by bolstering the trade in the national/international market. This will contribute to generate direct and indirect employment in the coastal region as well as improve the livelihoods of the coastal community. Additionally, this would encourage port led industries in the region, thereby substantially contributing to economic progress of the state and the state exchequer. In view of the above, after examining and consulting about the draft Karnataka Non-Major Ports Iron Ore Handling Policy – 2025 with concerned various departments and after incorporating the views of the various departments in the draft Karnataka Non-Major Ports Iron Ore Handling Policy – 2025 decision has been taken by the Government to formulate and adopt a Karnataka Non-Major Ports Iron Ore Handling Policy – 2025 Hence the following order. GOVERNMENT ORDER No. IDD 07 PSP 2024, BENGALURU, DATED: 02.12.2025 In view of the factors outlined in the proposal, the following orders have been issued to resume import/export activities of iron ore in the minor ports of the state: 1. The Government Order No. PWD 186 PSP 2010, dt:26-07-2010, prohibiting the export of iron ore from 10 minor ports of the State is withdrawn with immediate effect. 2. Implementation of the “Karnataka Non-Major Ports Iron Ore Handling Policy, 2025” – Standard Operating Procedure for the export and import and trade of iron ore from the Non- major Ports of the State as per Annexure.

By order and in the name of the Governor of Karnataka (Dr.N.Manjula) Secretary to Government Infrastructure Development, Ports and Inland Water Transport Department6 KARNATAKA MARITIME BOARD GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA Location of Non- Major Ports of Karnataka 1. Background Note on the Handling of Iron Ore at Non-Major Ports of Karnataka. 1. Karnataka is one of the leading producers of iron ore in India. The mining and export of iron ore have been important contributors to the state's economy. The state's iron ore production in the financial year 2020-21 was estimated to be around 34 million tonnes. Iron ore reserves are mainly found in Bellary, Chitradurga, Tumkur, and Chikmagalur districts. Further, Iron ore has been exported through the western coastal lines, and also through Karwar, Old Mangalore and Belekeri ports in past. 2. The Karwar Port and Belekeri Port are Non-Major Ports under the Karnataka Maritime Board, Government of Karnataka. These ports are in operation for shipping activities since 1957-58. Commodities such as Iron Ore, Manganese Ore, Timber, Industrial salt, etc., were handled at Karwar and Belekeri Port. In the year 2003, due to the sudden rise in the demand for Iron Ore from foreign countries especially from China, the export of Iron Ore increased drastically. At Karwar Port, Iron Ore was being loaded alongside the berth and anchorage, whereas at Belekeri Port only anchorage loading through barges was operated. 3. Due to this, the Belekeri Port was earning a direct revenue of about ₹ 15 Cr per annum. Further, the land at Karwar port was given on a rental basis to registered stevedores. The Port was earning a direct revenue of about ₹10 Cr per annum attributable to handling of Iron Ore only. The Stevedores were receiving the Iron ore, stocking it in their leased/rented land, and then loading it onto the ships for export after the shipping bills were cleared by customs authorities. 4. In July 2010, on the recommendation of the Commerce and Industries Department, to temporarily ban the export of Iron Ore through the Non-Major Ports of the state vide DO Letter No. CI 162 MMM 2010, the Public Works, Ports and Inland Water Transport Department banned7 the export of Iron Ore through the Non-Major Ports of the state vide GO No. PWD 186 PSP 2010 Dated: 26.07.2010. 5. The Iron Ore exports from Non-Major Ports of Karnataka are now permitted vide Hon’ble Supreme Court order WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) NO. 562 OF 2009 dated 20.05.2022 and all other IAs connected with it. Hence there is a need for formulating standard operating procedure (SOPs) for the handling of Iron ore through the Non- Major Ports of Karnataka. 6. This document is the policy document which provides the guidelines for handling of Iron Ore Non- major ports under the Karnataka Maritime Board. 2. Eligibility for undertaking export of Iron ore originating / excavated from the state of Karnataka 1.
