Top 5 Largest Bauxite Producing States In India 2025

Bauxite is the primary ore to produce aluminium, one of the fundamental metals for infrastructure, transport, and industrial growth. India is one of the largest producers of bauxite in the world, with many states contributing to the supply and Indian consumption of bauxite. Take a glance at the five main bauxite-producing states in India in the year 2025. 

1. Odisha
Odisha produces more than 50% of the total bauxite production in India and has the highest natural deposits of bauxite in India, mainly found in Kalahandi and Koraput. It is also the state with the largest and most active bauxite mines in the country. These mines also support state-owned as well as private aluminium refineries in addition to providing raw materials to the downstream industries in India.

2. Jharkhand
Jharkhand bauxite mining ranks #2 behind Odisha, and has large reserves in Singhbhum, Kolhan and Santhal Pargana. Jharkhand has a number of mining operations that supply raw materials to industries nearby and support regional economic development.

3. Gujarat
Gujarat is India's third-largest producer of bauxite. In Gujarat, bauxite mining occurs primarily in Panchmahal, Dahod, and Vadodara, and the state has several bauxite mines operated by the state mineral corporation, which helps maximise moderate natural bauxite reserves and generate value.

4. Chhattisgarh
Chhattisgarh is another major bauxite-producing state with significant deposits in Durg, Raipur, and Bilaspur. While it produces bauxite steadily, it purposefully keeps bauxite production coming into the state economy to serve as a mainstay for aluminium manufacturers.

5. Maharashtra
Maharashtra rounds out our top five with level-headed, productive reserves in Kolhapur, Sangli, and Pune. The state is developing its mining features with consistent bauxite for local needs and industrial demands.

National Outlook
Bauxite production in India was stable in 2025, as the aluminium industry continues to grow, contributing to the growing bauxite production. Due to refinery capacity being added and mining in any of these five states throughout the country, bauxite supply will remain reliable; these states will continue to be leaders in the country's bauxite supply.
