India is fortunate to have fairly rich and varied mineral resources:-
i. In Peninsular plateau the reserves of coal, metallic minerals, mica and many
other non-metallic minerals are found.
ii. In the sedimentary rocks of Gujarat and Assam most of the petroleum deposits
are found.
iii. In Rajasthan reserves of many non-ferrous minerals are found.
iv. The alluvial plains of north India are almost devoid of economic minerals.
The use of non-conventional sources of energy is becoming necessary because:
i. The growing consumption of energy in the country has made us dependent on
fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas.
ii. Rising prices of oil and gas has eroded our foreign currency reserves.
iii. Shortages in the supply of oil. Gas and coal have increased uncertainties about
the security of energy supply in future,
iv. The growth of the national economy is getting hampered by it.
v. Moreover, increasing use of fossil fuels also causes serious environmental
problems.

India is fortunate to have fairly rich and varied mineral resources , but these resources are unevenly distributed . The distribution of minerals are :-
1- PENINSULAR PLATEAU -- Peninsular rocks contain most of the reserves of coal , metallic minerals , mica and many other non metallic minerals . It also has reserves of non - ferrous minerals .
2-GUJARAT AND ASSAM --Sedimentary rocks on the Western and Eastern flanks of the peninsula , in Gujarat and Assam have most of the petroleum deposits .
3-RAJASTHAN --It has reserves of many non - ferrous minerals .
4-NORTHERN PLAINS --There is very little or no economic minerals in vast Alluvial plains of North India .
These variations exist largely because of the differences in the geological structure , processes and time involved in the formation of minerals .
HOPE IT IS HELPFUL TO U .... IF IT IS THEN PLEASE MARK IT AS BRAINLIEST ....
