Bihar’s economy up for a boost as four mineral-rich blocks allocated to state
PATNA: Bihar’s economy is all set for a major revival in the coming years with the allocation of four blocks rich with reserve minerals to the state.
The mineral blocks allotted to Bihar are in Aurangabad, Gaya, and Sasaram districts with rich reserves of Potassium and chromium-nickel.
The state’s contribution in the total value of mineral mining is also expected to increase from 3 to 5 per cent with the commencement of mining, after auctions of the four mineral blocks.
