In India the plateau region possesses rich reserves of fossil fuels, and Minerals.
Minerals are unevenly distributed on the earth’s surface.All minerals are exhaustible in nature, i.e., will exhaust after a certain time.However, these minerals take long time to form, but they cannot be replenished immediately at the time of need.More than 97% of coal reserves occur in the valleys of Damodar, Sone, Mahanadi, and Godavari rivers.Petroleum reserves in India are located in the sedimentary basins of Assam, Gujarat, and Mumbai High (i.e. off-shore region in the Arabian Sea – shown in the map given below).Some new petroleum reserves are also found in the Krishna-Godavari and Kaveri basins (shown in the image given above).
