- Durg-Bastar-Chandrapur belt - the haematite ores from the mines in Chattisgarh and Maharashtra are exported to Japan and South Korea.
- Bellary-Chitradurga-Chikamagalur-Tumkur belt - the ore from Kudremukha mines in Chikamagalur is transported as slurry to a port near Mangalore through a pipeline.
