Answer:

Alluvial soil is found in the largest area of the country that is in Northern region of the country E and also extended in Rajasthan and Gujarat

Alluvial soils are by far the largest and the most important soil group of India. Covering about 15 lakh sq km or about 45.6 per cent of the total land area of the country, these soils contribute the largest share of our agricultural wealth and support the bulk of India's population.

This is the most widely spread and important soil. In fact, the entire northern plains are made of alluvial soil. These soils also extend in Rajasthan and Gujarat through a narrow corridor. Alluvial soil is also found in the eastern coastal plains particularly in the deltas of the Mahanadi, the Godavari, the Krishna and the Kaveri rivers.
