Amid allegations of monopolisation of chrome ore trade leveled by the All Odisha Steel Federation against state controlled miner- Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC), the Odisha government has informed the Competition Commission of India ( CCI) that there is no policy for fixation of sale price of the ore.

AOSF, an organization representing the interests of steel and sponge iron makers, had filed a case with the CCI in January 2012, alleging monopoly in chrome ore trade by OMC.
