Which one among the following states is the leading producer of Manganese in India ?

Explanation

According to the Indian Minerals Yearbook published by the Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM), Madhya Pradesh is the leading producer of manganese ore in India. It consistently accounts for approximately 30% to 33% of the country's total annual production.

  • The primary manganese-producing belts in Madhya Pradesh are located in the Balaghat and Chhindwara districts.
  • Following Madhya Pradesh, the other major producing states are Maharashtra and Odisha.
  • It is important to note the distinction between reserves and production: while Odisha holds the largest share of manganese ore reserves (resources) in India, Madhya Pradesh leads in terms of actual output/production.
  • Manganese is an essential raw material for the iron and steel industry, used primarily for alloying and as a deoxidizing agent.
