Andhra Pradesh is well-known for its mineral resources, including significant deposits of limestone, barytes, mica, and has the largest known deposits of Chrysotile Asbestos in the country, primarily in the Kadapa district (Pulivendla region). The Neelam Sanjiva Reddy Sagar Hydel Project, also known as Srisailam Dam, is located on the Krishna River and is a joint project between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, situated on their border, but historically associated with undivided Andhra Pradesh.

Specific mineral deposits and prominent infrastructure projects can help pinpoint the correct state.

Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh are famous for coal and iron ore. Rajasthan is known for a wide variety of minerals, including copper, zinc, lead, and building stones, but not specifically the largest Chrysotile Asbestos deposits.
