Detailed Solution

Kudremukh mines are a 100 per cent export unit.
The foundational resource and engine of industrial growth is iron ore. Iron ore deposits are pretty plentiful in India. Iron ores of high purity are abundant in India. The purest iron ore, magnetite, has a very high iron concentration of up to 70%. Excellent magnetic properties make it very useful in the electrical sector. Bellary-Chitradurga-Chikmagalur, Karnataka's Tumkur belt, has significant iron ore deposits. The Kudremukh mines, which are entirely an export operation, are situated in Karnataka's the Western Ghats. One of the most important reserves in the world is said to be in Kudremukh. The ore is conveyed as slurry through a pipeline to reach a port close to Mangalore.
