Mineral Production in India
India produces high-volume minerals like Bauxite, Lead & Zinc Ore, Manganese Ore, and Zinc Concentrate which increased year-on-year, reflecting rising demand from metals, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors.
Minerals such as Chromite, Copper Ore, and Copper Concentrate fluctuated or declined, indicating supply-side challenges or shifts in industrial consumption.
Several low-volume minerals showed sharp surges, Garnet, Graphite, Selenite, and Siliceous Earth, pointing to rising use in niche industries like abrasives, batteries, and chemicals.
The data highlights mining is, shaped by industrial demand cycles, global commodity trends, and domestic production dynamics.
