Abundant reserves of high-grade Iron ore, Bauxite, Chromite, Manganese ore along with other minerals such as Coal, Limestone, Dolomite, Tin, Nickel etc. are extensively available in the State. This has opened up immense possibilities for locating mineral based industries for manufacture of Steel, Ferro-alloys, Cement, Thermal Power etc., along with setting up other auxiliary and ancillary downstream industries. The Steel & Mines Department works for the development of the mineral resources of the State under the regulatory powers. Thereby creating facilities for employment and fetching more revenue for the State.
