Mineral production during July 2009
The mineral production from mining and quarrying sector in July 2009 was lower by 2.13% compared to that of the preceding month. However, the mineral sector has shown a positive growth of 7.49% during the current financial year i.e. April- July 2009-10 as compared to that of the previous year. The mineral production in June 2009 was higher by 9.93% 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 July 2009 was Rs. 8304 crore. The contribution of coal was the highest at Rs. 2916 crore (35%). Next in the order of importance were: iron ore Rs. 1793 crore, petroleum (crude) Rs. 1554 crore, natural gas (utilized) Rs. 1138 crore, lignite Rs. 201 crore and limestone Rs. 215 crore. These six minerals together contributed about 94% of the total value of mineral production in July 2009.
Production level of important minerals in July 2009 were: coal 362 lakh tonnes, lignite 24 lakh tonnes, natural gas (utilized) 3669 million cu. m., petroleum (crude) 28 lakh tonnes, bauxite 1030 thousand tonnes, chromite 249 thousand tonnes, copper conc. 6 thousand tonnes, gold 202 kg., iron ore 177 lakh tonnes, lead conc. 12 thousand tonnes, manganese ore 210 thousand tonnes, zinc conc. 109 thousand tonnes, apatite & phosphorite 161 thousand tonnes, dolomite 379 thousand tonnes, limestone 185 lakh tonnes and magnesite 23 thousand tonnes.
In July 2009, the output of gold increased by 22.42%, bauxite 9.68%, manganese ore 6.32%, natural gas (utilized) 5.67%, magnesite ore 3.49%, limestone 2.81% and petroleum (crude) 1.34%. The production of iron ore remains at the level of previous month. However the production of copper conc. decreased by 0.14%, zinc conc. 2.03%, lead conc. 2.81%, apatite & phosphorite 5.27%, coal 8.94%, dolomite 9.3%. chromite 11.60%, and lignite 21.1 percent.
