Iron ore joins core sector as government revamps index

Iron ore has been added to the core sector industries list, expanding it to nine. The government will release a revised Index of Core Industries series on July 20. This new series will feature a base year of 2022-23, replacing the older 2011-12 base. Raw coal remains, but coal middlings and washed coal are excluded to prevent double counting.
