Rajasthan is among the leading states in India for the production of natural gas, particularly onshore. While offshore fields and states like Assam and Tripura are also major producers, among the given options, Rajasthan has emerged as a significant contributor to India’s natural gas output, unlike Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, or Bihar which have minimal or no significant natural gas production.

– Rajasthan has substantial natural gas reserves, including Coal Bed Methane (CBM) and tight gas, being actively explored and produced.
– States like Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Bihar are not known for significant natural gas production.

India’s natural gas production comes from onshore and offshore fields. Major producing regions include the Krishna-Godavari Basin (offshore), Assam, Tripura, Gujarat, and Rajasthan (onshore). The rankings among onshore states can vary slightly year-to-year based on production data, but Rajasthan is consistently listed among the significant producers.
