  • Odisha is India's largest bauxite producer.

    This is due to a five-fold increase in mining lease area in the south-eastern state of Odisha, which is India's largest bauxite producing state, as it produces more than half of the country's bauxite resources.

    India has abundant resources of bauxite and serves as a raw material in the production of aluminium. As per the Ministry of Mines report, India stood at the 7th position in terms of the largest bauxite reserves globally, with about 830,000 thousand tonnes of reserves.

    Odisha alone constitutes almost 50% of India’s bauxite production and has about 325,269 thousand tonnes of bauxite reserves. As per the reports of the Indian Bureau of Mines, Bauxite’s production in Odisha was 11,447,740 thousand tonnes in 2017-18.
