Q. Which area in Jharkhand is known for chromite production?
Answer: Chaibasa
Notes: Chaibasa, in West Singhbhum district, Jharkhand, is famous for chromite production. Chromite deposits are found around Jojohatu, Hatmagariya, and Keshargariya near Chaibasa. These deposits occur in ultrabasic rocks as magmatic segregations, veins, and eluvial placers. Jharkhand has overall minor chromite reserves (~203 million tonnes nationally), with 93% of India's reserves in Odisha. Other options like Giridih, Kalimay, and Chatkari are not known for chromite but for coal or mica mining.
