Industries

What are the main industries of Rajasthan?

Quick answer

Rajasthan’s better-known economic strands include tourism, textiles and handicrafts, marble and other stone, cement, zinc and other mining, agriculture based on mustard and millets, and large solar power in the west. Output numbers change every year.

Detailed answer

Makrana in Nagaur is historically famous for marble, widely reported to have been used in the Taj Mahal. Jodhpur sandstone is a building stone with its own export life. Zinc mining at places such as Zawar and Rampura Agucha made the state important to India’s zinc supply. Do not quote a tonne figure from memory; use the Indian Bureau of Mines or the company report for the year you need.

Tourism is a large employer in the palace cities and a thin one in many districts. Handicrafts are real businesses and also informal workshops. Solar parks in western Rajasthan, including Bhadla in Jodhpur district, are among the largest anywhere. Installed capacity is a time-sensitive statistic. Use the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy or the state energy department for a current megawatt number.
