\n<\/section>\n
\nIndia possesses significant reserves of iron ore, primarily consisting of Haematite and Magnetite. Haematite is the most important iron ore in terms of quantity found in India, mainly in states like Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Karnataka. Magnetite is another important type, known for its high iron content, found in states like Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu. While Limonite and Siderite are also types of iron ore, their occurrence as economically viable and main types of deposits in India is less significant compared to Haematite and Magnetite.
\n<\/section>\n
\nHaematite is typically found in the Archaean system and Dharwarian formations. Magnetite ores are mainly found in the metamorphic and igneous rocks of the Dharwar and Cuddapah systems. India is one of the leading producers of iron ore globally.
