Iron Ore Lumps – High-Grade Exports from India

High-quality lump ore (10–40 mm) for direct use in blast furnaces with minimal processing.

Iron ore lumps are coarse iron ore particles ranging between 10 mm and 40 mm in size, widely preferred in the steel industry for direct use in blast furnaces. At WAO Steels and Mines Export Pvt Ltd, we specialize in supplying consistently graded, high-Fe iron ore lumps (Fe 58% to 63.5%) to meet the stringent quality requirements of global steel producers. Known for their superior reducibility and low impurity levels, our lump products offer reliability, efficiency, and excellent furnace performance.

The journey of our iron ore lumps begins with Run-of-Mine (ROM) ore extraction from our leased mines. The ROM is then transported to our crushing and screening facilities, where the material is reduced to sub-40 mm size. Following mechanical separation, particles larger than 10 mm are sorted as lump ore. This processed product is then tested for Fe content, moisture, and impurities, with only qualified batches approved for export. Our lump ore is stored in dedicated stockyards based on grade and destination, ensuring traceability and prompt loading once export clearance is obtained.

With proximity to key ports like Reddi Port and other West Coast facilities, WAO Steels enjoys a strong logistics advantage. We operate a multi-modal transport system: road transport from mines to yards, barge movement to ports (where applicable), and bulk vessel loading with full compliance. Our port operations include calibrated weighing, SGS (or equivalent) inspection, and documentation such as COO, test certificates, and shipping instructions—all completed under strict timeline adherence. Our operational flexibility allows us to serve bulk orders for vessels like Handysize, Supramax, or Panamax depending on client needs.

While the Indian domestic market remains important, our primary focus is the export segment—serving clients in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Middle East. The lump ore we supply supports both blast furnace and DRI-based steel plants. We maintain long-term contracts as well as spot delivery options for both bulk and containerized shipments. The consistency of our product, paired with our operational integrity, makes us a preferred partner in high-volume, time-sensitive trade.

We offer flexible, transparent payment terms to accommodate global buyers:

  • 100% Irrevocable Letter of Credit (LC) at Sight

  • 30% Advance and 70% Against Scanned Copy of Documents

All commercial transactions follow industry norms and banking regulations, with full export documentation provided—including B/L, test reports, packing list, and invoice—all aligned to LC or advance terms.
