India Advances Plans for First Regulated Mineral Exchanges to Improve Price Transparency
India is moving to establish its first regulated mineral exchanges to enhance price transparency and create a unified electronic marketplace for trading minerals like iron ore, bauxite, chromite, limestone, and manganese. PTC India and MCX have both set up subsidiaries to operate these exchanges, pending regulatory approval. The initiative aims to improve price discovery, support industrial competitiveness, and establish credible domestic benchmarks, with operations expected to begin in fiscal year 2028. Inclusion of additional minerals may follow as production scales up.
