Rajasthan: India's Silver Reserves

According to IBM data, Rajasthan leads the way in silver. This state alone holds 87% of India's total silver reserves and resources—making it the undisputed leader.

Why Rajasthan? It's all in the mines

Rajasthan's dominance in the silver sector is due to its vast lead-zinc-silver belts, which are among the largest in India.

Some of the major silver-rich mining areas include:

Rampura Agucha (Bhilwara)

Sindesar Khurd (Rajsamand)
