Strength:

 World’s largest producer of mica; third largest producer of coal and lignite and barites;
ranks among the top producers of iron ore, bauxite, manganese ore and aluminum.
 Labors easily available
 Large quantity of high quality reserves

Weakness:

 The output per annum in India varies from 150 to 2,650 tons compared to an average of
around 12,000 tons in the U.S And Australia.
 Historically, opencast mining has been favored over underground mining. This has led to
land degradation, environmental pollution and reduced quality of coal as it tends to get
mixed with other matter.

Opportunities:

 Potential areas for exploration ventures include gold, diamond, copper, lead, zinc, nickel,
cobalt, lithium, tin, tungsten, silver, platinum group of metals and other rare metals,
chromites and manganese ore and fertilizer mineral.

Threat:

 Large integrated international metal manufacturer including POSCO, Mittal Steel and
Alcan have announced plans for expansion in India.
 Mining companies and equipment supplies are under the constant threat of being taken
over by foreign companies.
