Industry Potential

Given the availability of a large variety of metallic and non-metallic industrial minerals, there is a huge potential of mineral-based industries in Rajasthan. In addition, there is well-developed transport, communication and power infrastructure in the State. The mineral policy of the State has been formulated so as to facilitate investment in mineral-based industrial sector. The State offers an investor-friendly environment and welcomes Indian and multinational investment in mineral-based industries.
