| Abstract: | Chromite, being the primary source for manufacture of many industrially important alloys,
chemicals and refractories, is a valuable and strategic raw material. The total chromite
resources of India at present are estimated at about 17 mt. Orissa accounts for about 85%
of the above reserves and about 99% of the present total annual production. In spite of
this, India imports a substantial quantity of chrome finished products and exports a substantial
quantity of chrome ores. With the present trend of export, the chromite deposit of
India is estimated to fast only for about 50 years. This paper stresses the urgent need for
conservation of this ore and highlights its proper and judicious utilization with reference
to the present and future trend of consumption. Recommendations for proper utilization
by way of establishing new industries have been made. |
