What to Focus On

  • Minerals are non-renewable and exhaustible.
  • India ranks high globally in reserves of iron ore, bauxite, and manganese.
  • Mineral-rich regions are mainly in the southern and eastern plateaus.
  • Ferrous minerals contain iron; non-ferrous do not.
  • Iron ore types: Hematite (68% iron), Magnetite (60% iron), Limonite (35–50% iron).
  • Top iron ore states: Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Goa.
  • Coal contributes 57.5% of India’s power from fossil fuels.
  • Gondwana coal fields supply 98% of India’s coal.
  • Major petroleum areas: Assam, Gujarat, Bombay High, Rajasthan.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
