This Geology lecture explains Chromium (Cr) deposits of India, focusing on the geological, mineralogical, and industrial aspects of chromite (FeCr₂O₄) — the only ore of chromium.
In this video, we discuss:
Introduction to Chromite – properties, composition, and industrial relevance
Types of Chromite in India – High-grade, Ferriferous, Aluminous, Siliceous varieties
Cr/Fe Ratios and Mineralogical Features
Formation and Origin – magmatic segregation within ultrabasic rocks (peridotite, dunite, pyroxenite)
Types of Occurrence – Stratiform (Sukinda–Nuasahi, Sittampundi) and Podiform (Ladakh, Manipur)
State-wise Distribution – Odisha, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, J&K, Manipur
Industrial and Economic Uses – Ferrochrome manufacture, stainless steel production, refractory materials, chemical uses
Odisha’s Sukinda and Nausahi belts remain India’s chromite heartlands, hosting most of the nation’s high-grade reserves.
