Chota Nagpur plateau is a store house of minerals like mica, bauxite, copper, limestone, iron ore and coal.The Damodar valley is rich in coal and it is considered as the prime centre of coking coal in the country. Massive coal deposits are found in the central basin spreading over 2,883 square kilometres (1,113 sq mi). The important coalfields in the basin are Jharia, Raniganj, West Bokaro, East Bokaro, Ramgarh, South Karanpura and North Karanpura.

The reasons are:

(i) Iron ore is found in abundance and about 40% of iron ore in India is found in this area.
(ii) Over 50% of manganese in India is found in this region.
(iii) Almost 60% of copper in India is found here.
(iv) Almost 60% of bauxite in India is found here. (v) The region is also rich in coal.
