What are the two major mica mining regions in Rajasthan?
Answers
For over a hundred years, India had enjoyed a monopoly in the production and export of sheet mica in the world. Of late, there has been a steep decline in mica production in India, mainly due to technological improvements that facilitate the use of reconstructed mica and the emergence of mica substitutes consequently resulting in a fall in the demand for natural mica in the world market. Still, India stays there at 8th position in the list of largest producers of mica in the world.
Andhra Pradesh is the largest producer of mica. Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh is famous for its mica (crude) production. On the other hand, mica (waste and scrap) is largely produced by the states of Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Jharkhand. With a production of 1,660 tonnes of crude mica and 7,626 tonnes of waste and scrap mica in the year 2013-14, Andhra Pradesh comes at the top of the list of mica producing states.
