Iron Ore Exports from Odisha; Contribution to the State Domestic Product (SDP) of Odisha from Mining

After the scandalous state of the mining regime in Goa, Shah Commission went to further disclose more such scams in other mineral rich states, such as that of Odisha (Patnaik, 2012). On the mining sector in Odisha, the Commission prepared and submitted a 5 volume report. This report revealed a mining scam in Odisha to the tune of 59,203 Cr. As production halted throughout the mining sector, the percentage of share contributed by it to the state domestic product of Odisha fell drastically. In 2016-2017, the average contribution to Odisha’s SGDP was only at 7.12%. Additionally, due to soaring illegalities the iron ore exports from Odisha was worth less than Rs.10,000 million which is negligible for a mineral rich state as such.果阿邦矿业监管体系曝出丑闻后，沙阿委员会（Shah Commission）进一步揭露了其他矿产资源丰富邦国存在的同类贪腐乱象，其中包括奥里萨邦（Odisha）的相关贪腐案例（Patnaik, 2012）。针对奥里萨邦的矿业领域，该委员会编制并提交了一份共计5卷的调查报告。该报告披露奥里萨邦的矿业贪腐涉案金额高达59203千万卢比。随着全邦矿业生产全面停摆，矿业对奥里萨邦邦国内生产总值（State Domestic Product, SGDP）的贡献占比大幅下滑。2016至2017财年，矿业对奥里萨邦SGDP的平均贡献占比仅为7.12%。此外，由于违规违法行为愈演愈烈，奥里萨邦的铁矿石出口额不足100亿卢比（Rs.10,000 million），对于这类矿产资源丰富的邦国而言，这一规模可谓微乎其微。
