Due to structural diversities, the distribution of minerals in India is also uneven. Some regions of India have large deposits of minerals, but there are some other parts, where no minerals are found. In India, the structure and formation of minerals is also found to be different. Metallic, non – metallic, energy and power minerals are found in India in liquid, solid and gaseous forms. In some minerals, India enjoys monopoly, but there are some other minerals which are not found here.
In the present conditions, variety of minerals has increased at large due to non – traditional resources. Ideal condition of solar energy is found at some places, while thermal energy is found at other places, at some places, ideal conditions for tidal energy are found, while at other places, ideal conditions for wind energy are there. All these diversities have granted India the status of a Museum of Minerals.
