Iron manganese and limestone
State the four types of coal
Anthracite has 80 to 90% coal , less moisture and burns slowly with a blue flame
Bituminous has 40 to 80% coal dense and compact is a product of Coke and gas
Lignite has 40 to 55% coal, low-grade brown coal high moisture and high smoke
peat has less than 40%
peat is formed by digging plants at swarms high smoke and high ash
What are the concerns regarding coal in India
It is import dependence as quality is low and technology is low
Good and low quality coal is found together
Open cast mining causes pollution
Primitive deep mining
Dirty mining damages the land
Carbon dioxide per unit is very high
Where are the petroleum reserves of India
In Gujarat it is found in Kheda Ankleshwar and Gandhar
In Rajasthan in Barmer
In Maharashtra Bombay
In Assam at dig boy . Barauni
At Cauvery and Godavari basin
What are the challenges regarding petroleum industry in India
Ageing fields
Refineries are not upgraded
Large assets abroad
What is natural gas
It is gas trapped in hydrocarbons in the sedimentary rocks under the ocean
Where are the natural gas reserves of India
Bombay high
Gulf of Khambhat
Cauvery basin
and Jaisalmer
What are the pros and cons of natural gas reserves
Pro =
At different terrain and underwater
safe and pollution free
no delay in transport
Con =
pipelines cannot be increased after put
the initial cost is very high
there is security difficulty and cannot be easily repaired
What are the challenges for India to reach energy security
2.4% energy is produced and 3.4% is consumed
The domestic challenges are to explore the sedimentary basin reduce distribution losses and untapped renewable energy
The global challenges and this discovery of shale gas add the United States hence reduce in renewable energy research
What are the suggestions of the Kelkar panel for energy security
Reduce import dependence by 2030 roadmap to deregulation of oil and gas
Compare the transport industry of China versus India
CHINA
Outsource minor tasks
Railways does not run museums and cultural centres hospitals et cetera
centralised management of depots and stations
Railway available for long distances not for short
Close down railways stations due to low traffic
use fast freight trains to transport coal iron cement
Biggie construction factories run by private companies
INDIA
Railways is a vote bank
management of schools and hospitals because election promises
last three points not in India
Discuss the complimentary and competitive role of Indian railways and roads
Railways are only possible in the plains
roads are feeder to railway
Short distance by roads and long-distance by railways
plan to travel at Railways and unplanned at Road
competitive= initial investment for road roads attract most of the trade heavy goods like coal are rail Roads attract more private partnership Metro monorail suburban railways
Discuss the major textile industry regions of India
Wool and silk at Kashmir Wool at Punjab and Haryana jute at UP Bihar jute add Andhra Pradesh Telangana Chhattisgarh and Odisha Cotton and Gujarat and Maharashtra silk at South India
What are the location factors of cotton
Okay when is not new to market
cheap labour
power loom hence energy
Thread break at dry climate hence humidity required
Why is Osaka known as the Manchester of Japan
Black lava soil hydro electric power plant skilled labour yodo river refinery for by products hence synthetic Phiber
What are the problems regarding the cotton textile industry
Input costs are high
crop sensitivity as there are boll worms and white flies
The looms are at a standstill
reduction in petroleum price hence polyester has increased
Indian firms are not part of the global value chain
marketing and branding
What are The location factors for jute
Energy water Capital market
What are the challenges regarding jute industry
Decrease in global demand
Why has the jute industry shifted to Andhra Pradesh
Kolkata is no longer important internationally
sick industry
jute demand in urban area
raw jute for paper at Andhra Pradesh
