The mineral production from mining and quarrying sector in May 2009 was higher by 3.58% compared to that of the preceding month. However, the mineral sector has shown a positive growth of 3.73% during May 2009 as compared to that of the corresponding month of previous year.
The total value of mineral production (excluding atomic & minor minerals) in the country during May 2009 was Rs. 9009 crore. The contribution of coal was the highest at Rs. 3160 crore (35%). Next in the order of importance were: iron ore Rs. 2175 crore, petroleum (crude) Rs. 1550 crore, natural gas (utilized) Rs. 1025 crore, lignite Rs. 266 crore and limestone Rs. 214 crore. These six minerals together contributed about 93% of the total value of mineral production in may 2009.
Production level of important minerals in May 2009 was: coal 396 lakh tones, lignite 33 lakh tones, natural gas (utilized) 3307 million cu. m., petroleum (crude) 28 lakh tones, bauxite 1160 thousand tonnes, chromite 449 thousand tonnes, copper conc. 10 thousand tonnes, gold 131 kg., iron ore 204 lakh tonnes, leas conc. 10 thousand tonnes, manganese ore 208 thousand tonnes, zinc conc. 95 thousand tonnes, apatite & phosphorite 148 thousand tonnes, dolomite 347 thousand tonnes, limestone 192 lakh tonnes and magnesite 21 thousand tonnes.
In may 2009, the output of natural gas (utilized) increased by 16.57%, chromite 14.20%, magnesite 9.59%, manganese ore 7.41%, iron ore 3.86%, limestone 3.79%, lignite 2.48%, dolomite 2.48%, and petroleum (crude) 1.94%. The production of copper conc. remains at the level of previous month. However, the production of coal decreased by 1.06%, zinc conc. 1.33%, lead conc. 3.69%, bauxite 9.06%, apatite & phosphorite 10.24% and gold 17.61 percent.
