Due to its abundant reserves of iron ore, manganese ore, bauxite, chromium and other mineral salts as well as its huge deposits of coal, lead, zinc, silver and gold, India is a natural powerhouse and one of the premier destinations for the metals and mining industry. States with significant mining activities include Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. India’s strategic location allows for the development of export potential as well as rapid growth in the Asian markets. It provides competitive advantages to end-use sectors like building and infrastructure, automotive and electricity by supplying them with crucial raw materials at affordable pricing.
The industry has the potential to have a significant impact on GDP growth, foreign exchange earnings, etc. It is therefore a fully-fledged government-backed industry that supports India’s entire infrastructure and development sector. Furthermore, Indian Steel Association, Aluminium Association of India, India Stainless Steel Development Association, Coal Consumers Association of India and Federation of Indian Mineral Industries are some of the organisations that assist to cater the needs of the industry and deal with related activities.
