The correct answer is Gujarat. Gujarat is the largest producer of salt in India, contributing a significant percentage of the country’s total salt production.

Salt production in India heavily relies on coastal areas and inland lakes/salt pans. Gujarat’s long coastline and salt-rich areas like the Rann of Kutch make it ideal for salt production, primarily through evaporation of seawater.

Other major salt-producing states in India include Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan (from Sambhar Lake), and Andhra Pradesh. However, Gujarat consistently leads in production volume. India is also one of the largest salt producers globally.
