Industries are formed in areas where locational factors are favourable. The agricultural operations in India are mainly done in North Indian plains. Uttar Pradesh is the leading producer of sugarcane in India. Naturally, the sugar industries are concentrated in these areas. Jute is produced in West Bengal, Assam and Odisha. As a result, jute industries are located in these areas. Cotton textile industry is the largest agrobased industry in India. It is concentrated in the cotton producing states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, etc.

In India, the minerals are mainly mined from the north east, south east and central parts of “Peninsular plateau. As a result, a large number of mineral based industries are concentrated here. The major minerals mined from here are iron ore, manganese, coal, limestone, bauxite, copper and mica. Mineral based industries are concentrated in the states of Jharkhand, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Andhra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
