Mineral production during November 2009
The mineral production from mining and quarrying sector in November 2009 was higher by 1.05% compared to that of the preceding month. However, the mineral sector has shown a positive growth of 8.29% during the current financial year i.e. April- November 2009-10 as compared to that of the previous year. The mineral production in November 2009 was higher by 9.94% 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 November 2009 was Rs. 8946 crore. The contribution of coal was the highest at Rs. 3594 crore (40%). Next in the order of importance were: iron ore Rs. 1618 crore, petroleum (crude) Rs. 1556 crore, natural gas (utilized) Rs. 1244 crore, lignite Rs. 159 crore and limestone Rs. 226 crore. These six minerals together contributed about 94% of the total value of mineral production in November 2009.
Production level of important minerals in November 2009 were: coal 450 lakh tonnes, lignite 19 lakh tonnes, natural gas (utilized) 3987 million cu. m., petroleum (crude) 28 lakh tonnes, bauxite 1427 thousand tonnes, chromite 305 thousand tonnes, copper conc. 10 thousand tonnes, gold 158 kg., iron ore 172 lakh tonnes, lead conc. 11 thousand tonnes, manganese ore 171 thousand tonnes, zinc conc. 104 thousand tonnes, apatite & phosphorite 90 thousand tonnes, dolomite 424 thousand tonnes, limestone 183 lakh tones, magnesite 26 thousand tones and diamond 1390 carats.
In November 2009, the output of chromite increased by 22.69%, apatite & phosphorite 12.7% magnesite 10.62%, manganese ore 8.6% bauxite 5.50%, coal 5.13%, and iron ore 2.2 percent. The production of copper conc. and diamond remains at the level of previous month. However, the production of natural of natural gas (utilized) decreased by 0.42%, limestone 1.55%, lead conc. 1.89%, petroleum (crude) 2.14%, dolomite 2.24%, gold 3.07%, zinc conc. 7.33% and lignite 21.87 percent.
