Geology and Mineral Resources of Jodhpur district.
(1) Introduction:
The district takes its name from its principal city, Jodhpur which was founded by
Rao Jodhaji, which at present is also the headquarters of the district. Jodhpur ''The
Suncity" of lndia is known as Gateway of Thar Desert. The district stretchs roughly
between 26° 0' and 27° 37' north latitude to 72° 55' and 73° 52' east longitude covering an
area of 22.860 sq. km. and is well connected by road, rail and air. It shares border with
five other districts of Rajasthan, viz Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer. Pali and Nagaur
districts.
The district was a part of erstwhile Jodhpur State before the formation of
Rajasthan and its administration was carried on in accordance with the rules and
regulation which were framed for the entire State. On the merger of the Jodhpur State
with the United States of greater Rajasthan in 1949. this separate district of Jodhpur was
carved out with 4 tehsils namely Phalodi, Shergarh, Jodhpur, & Bilara. later on one more
tehsil, Osian was formed.
Being a sand desert, Jodhpur is one of the less important districts from the point
of view of mineral as it has no signifieant deposits of major metallic minerals, however a
fairly large deposits of building stones of which a variety of excellent qualities of
sandstone and limestone are found. Recently marble deposits have been found in Phalodi
tehsil. Among the major minerals only Jasper is being worked at present. Deposits
occurrences of silicasand, dolomite, bentonite, salt-brine and fuller's earth are also found
in the district.
Sandstone and limestone are the most important minerals of the district.
Sandstone of fawn and red colours is found in the district and when matched with other
stones exhibit a fine architectural workman ship The importance of this mineral can be
judged from the large number of quarries spread over the district and from the fact that it
is the chief building material in the district. A bulk revenue of Rs. 38.3l. lakhs in the
district came from the sandstone. Jodhpur sandstone is an excellent building stone and is
extensively quarried at Fidusar, Mandor and Bala Samand near Jodhpur.
Stone quarring activity in Jodhpur is found to be intimately associated with the
socio-economic problems of the drought prone arid region. During the period of famine
and long spell of drought the stone mining activity has been a boon to masses. The
gracious palaces of Jodhpur are the testimony to the fact that the erstwhile rulers of the
State of Marwar constructed these buildings not purely as a piece of art or luxury but as a
gesture of famine relief to the masses. The mining of sandstone was carried out in this
area even prior to the founding of Jodhpur by Rao Jodha Ji. The extensive use of this
stone has made Jodhpur a beautiful city of its own kind in the world.
The production of various minerals is tabulated in annexure-I. It reveals that
during the year 1988-89 major mineral commodity produced from this district is Jasper
only.
There are 29 mining leases for major minerals, 210 for minor minerals and about
8334 RCRL in the district. Mining activity in the district has generated employment for
nearly 20000 persons. About 300 mineral based industries are under operation. The
details of important industries are tabulated in annexure-8.
During the year 1989-90 this district contribut ed Rs. 349-22 lakhs in terms of
revenue which is 6.0% of the total revenue collected from minerals in the state. The
revenue figures of Jodhpur district from 1985-86 to 1989-90 are tabulated in annexure-4.
At Jodhpur the departmental activities pertaining to mineral concessions and
mineral administration, are carried out under the Suptdg. Mining Engineer Jodhpur
having Jurisdiction over Jodhpur Pali, Jalore, Sirohi and Barmer distriots. For basic
work of receiveing mineral concession applications their processing, execution of
grants, assessments of royalties and recovery there of, pertaining to Jodhpur district two
offices, one of M. E. Jodhpur and other AME Ba1eshwar are functioning. Besides these
for keeping a close watch over mineral movement and unauthorised mining a post of
mining Engineer flying squad has been kept for Jodhpur circle having jurisdiction over
the entire area of SME circle. Since the Rajasthan high court is situated at Jodhpur one
mining Engineer have been posted at Jodhpur to look after the work of appeal cases
filed in the high court Jodhpur against the department.
The search for new mineral deposits and evaluation of the known mineral
deposits of Jodhpur district is being look after by superintending geologist Jodhpur
region having juridiction over Jodhpur, Barmer, Nagaur and Pali districts.
(2) Physiography:
In this region where sand dunes present a common sight, there are a few hillocks
scattered here and there, especially in Bilara and Osian tehsil. The greatest height of hills
in the north is 284 Mts., in the south 358 Mts, in the west 294 Mts. and in the east 450
Mts. The general height of the district above the MSL is between 250 and 300 Mts. The
general slope is towards west. The district falls under the category of great Indian desert,
particularly its southern, western and nothern portion. The vegetation of the district is of
scrub and thorny type. The climate of the area is such that it can not sustain anything
better than scrub and thorny bushes. Khejri, Kumat, Ker, Babul, Ber, Neem, Siriskala,
Rohira, dhak are the main species of the trees found in the district.
The climate of this district is characterised by extremes dryness, wide range and
extremes of temperature and the fitful and uncertain rainfall. The average rainfall of the
district is 36 cm.
During the year 1990 the district had vary heavy rains. measuring more than 60
cm, with a pecularity that only in a single day (3.7.90) the the rainfall was recorded as 34
cm. which was never seen in last one century, The Luni which rises from Pushkar in
Ajmer district is the only river of any importance flowing through portions of Nagaur and
Pali district, it enters Jhak village in the Bilara tehsil of Jodhpur district. Its water is
stored to form a large artificial lake known as Jaswant Sagar. The total length of the river
in the district is about 122 kms. and it flows for most of the period during the year. The
other important streams of the district are Mitri, Johiri, Golasmi, Gunaimate, Bastua,
Rivulet etc. All these are seasonal streams. Balsamand near Jodhpur city is an artificial
lake, its water is used for irrigation purpose. Except for moderate to strong wind during
the period May to August, winds are generally moderate during the rest of the year.
During winter season winds blow from northerly or north westerly directions.
(3) Geology:
The regional geological set up as worked out by G. S. 1. indicates that the older
rocks of Delhi super Group represented by Punagarh group include basic valconics where
as of the Marwar Super Group is present in major part of the district & is represented by
Jodhpur-Bilara and Nagaur groups. The igneous phase is represented by Malani rhyolites,
Jalor and Siwana granites and in some part Erinpura granits and gneisses. The Palaezoic
era is represented by sandstone and Bap boulder beds of permocarboniferous system. In
the border region of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Bikaner some pockets of clays and fuller's
earth of Jogria and Mudh fotmation can be seen However alluvium and blownsand cover
the district in a large area and local geology is usually covered. The regionol geological

Punagarh Group :Rocks belonging to Punagarh group are the oldest formation exposed in Jodhpur
district. The group is included in Delhi Super Group. The Main lithounits comprise of
shales, slates, phyllites mica schist. These rocks are exposed as small isolated patches
between Jodhpur and Pali and also in the south eastern part of the district.
Marwar Super Group :These rocks overlie the fotmation of Punagarh group and are considered to be
equivalent to Vindhyan Super Group. These rocks are divided in three groups, the oldest
being Jodhpur group which is composed of sandstone. chert, shales and boulder beds.
This is followed by Bilara group having limestone and dolomite. The youngest member
of Marwar Super Group comprising of sandstone and siltstone.
Palaeozoic :Rocks of permocarboni-ferous age are found in a small area near Phalodi and Bap
and are composed of Bap boulder beds & sandstone. This is also known as Badhawra
series.
Tertiary System :These rocks are mainly seen in a small area and are called Jogira and Mudl
fotmation. These are composed of fuller's earth, refractory clay near Bap and near-by
area. Youngest formation are wind blown sand and alluvium of quaternary age.
Malani Suite of Igneous Rocks:Igneous rocks like rhyoltte and their equivalent granites (Jalor/Siwana) are
exposed in many localities of Jodhpur district, main exposure are seen near Jodhpur city,
Kakani, Jurli. Granites are noticed near Pipar, Khejrla villages. The rhyolite and granites
form the base of the rocks of Marwar Super Group.
Erinpura Granites :
The Erinpura Granites is the principal intrusive into Delhi Super Group. It occurs as
boses and sills of all sizes, although varying in texture ane grain stze, This rock is mainly
noticed in southern and south-eastern parts of the district.
(4) Mineral Resources :(A) Non metallic minerals:
(1) Clay :A band of china clay ranging in thickness from 3.5 to 5.5 mts. occurs on the
Masuria hill near Jodhpur. Low grade clay also occurs at Kharadia within the limestone
of Bilara group. Other occurrences are at Jewasia, Ramaseni and Rampura.
(2) Glass Sand/Quartz :Minor occurrences of glass sand, quartz occurs at Bhakharion Ki-Dhani in Bilara
tehsil and Tinwari in Osian tehsil of Jodhpur district. Quartz exposed near BhakharionKi- Dhani occurs as huge lenses and is brecciated in nature.
(3) Jasper :Jodhpur district is the main Jasper producing district in Rajasthan, which is used
mainly in emery and gritstone. It occurs in the form of veins in dolomitic limestone in the
areas around Bhauskar Kutri, Mandoi, Mathania, Ketasar, Kesra Melana, Tamblia Ujatia,
Birai etc. in the district, At present there are 29 mining leases (1988-89) of this mineral
and 5373 tonnes of production was reported during 1989 by which Rs. 87600 was
collected as a revenue, from the value point of view it come to Rs 7.25 lakhs.
(4) Limestone :The famous Sojat-Gotan-Bilara belt passess through the disrict and some of
the areas around Bilara, Borunda Ransi Goan, etc, are being extensively worked for
high grade limestone. It is being used in the preparation of lime kali, hydrated lime
and in the manufacture of portland cement. Some of the chemical grade limestone is
also being despatched to chemical industries of Alwar and other areas. Lime
prepared from this limestone is found suitable for use in sugar mills, chemical
factories and white washing. The limestone also contains patches of SMS grade
quality and can be used as flux in the iron and steel melttng shops. These limestone
beds are associated with dolomite, cherty limestone and chert. The limestone bands
show varying dips ranging from gentle undulations or rolling to steep and almost
vertical. These reef deposifts form a series of circular or elliptical structure which
often interfere with each other yielding- complex shapes. The reef cores crop out at
a few places only, the flank deposits are common. The limestone is massive to thin
bedded and at places laminated. It is grey, dark grey, white to pale white in colour.
fine grained and at places very coarsely crystalline. The limestone is of Gotan
formation of Bilara group belonging to Marwar Super Group (upper protozoic to
lower paleozoic).
In addition to these, minor occurrences of magnesite, asbestos etc. also occurs in
the district but not of commerical importance.
(5) Common Salt :Bap anb Phalodi areas covering more than 100 sq. km. produce salt by solar
evoporation of brine pumped out from shallow dug wells. In Kaparda area in Jodhpur
district. it is prepared by drying up the solution in sun light.
(6) Building Stone:North western Rajasthan includes Jodhpur, Nagaur, Jaisamer, Bikaner and Barmer
district, which are the store houses of a variety of building stones and ornamental stones.
Different types of limestone, marble, and granites obtained from these area of the district
are used as decorative and building stone The granites are being mined only for tile
making however big sized blocks can also be extracted.
Rhyolites of different colour and shades occur around Jodhpur. The Mogra
area contains black rhyolites with white specks and is being used for chips making,
other areas are kakani (Green colour), Rohit (red colour), Malani rhyolites and
granite occuring around Jodhpur Agolai, shergarh, Balesar, Thob and Pipad have
vast resources for road metal and railway ballast. Some of the building stones
quarries in the district are described below:
(a) Sandstone:Jodhpur sandstone is an excellent building stone as it is amenable to intricate
carving meant for lattices and arches. Sandstone quarrying is an important activity of the
district. The hi11s in the neighbouring areas of Jodhpur city are capped with alternating
beds of fine and coarse grained sandstone of Vindhyan age from which inexhaustible
supplies of the most excellent building stone is obtained. Important sandstone quarries
are located in Jodhpur tehsil. The quuarries have yielded a huge output of roofing slabs
and masonary stone having alternative fawn and red colours in which 10,000 persons on
an average find employment in some way or other. During 1989, 17.6 lakhs tonnes
production of sandstone was reported and State has earned Rs, 38, 31 lakhs as a revenue
from sandstone during 1988-89. The production and value of sandstone and workers
employed in the mines are tabulated in annexure-l to 3.
The sandstone is exposed alomost through out the district, Important quarries are
at Fidusar, Sursagar, Mandor, Balasamand, Bodda-ki-Dhani, Keru, Kaliberi, Brahmnoka- Tanka. The other areas are Bhuri, Beri, Nayon-Ki-Beri, Palri, Palri, Chana-Ka-Pardia,
Dentala, Magi-Ki-Chati, Beadli. Ransi, Golasni, Unkhila, Mandor-Ghati, GoraGhati,
Barwadia, etc.
About 12000 quarries have been alloted under quarry lincenses of which about 50
to 60% are in operation. Statement showing the number of quarries of Sandstone alloted
in different areas are in annexure-5.
(b) Limestone:Limestone as building material is being worked through out the district. The
limestone which is Cherty, Siliceous and dolomitic is used as building material and other
grade limestone is used in the manufacture of lime, hydrated lime and cement
manufacture as per grade. State has earned Rs. 40.69 lakhs during 1988-89 as a revenue
of limestone (burning). A production of 3.52 lakhs was reported in 1989, which valued
Rs. 1.58 crores. Annexure-1 reveals that the production of limestone (burning) is
increasing every year.
(c) Marble:The district does not have any marble deposit as such but recently dolomitic
limestone of Vindhyan group have been found to be suitable as marble Such deposit
occur in Phalodi tehsil of the district. It occurs in an area of 300 Sq. Km. The important
areasare near Phalodi town in Moria-Mungasar, Denok, Isru, Suwa (Ahu) Muggi KiDhani, Indolai-Ki-Nadi etc. The limestone is mostly horizontally bedded with higher
magnesia contents, fine grained, cream in colour and banded in nature. It takes good
polish. Recently some of the quarries have developed around Moria Mungasar and
Indolai-Ki-Nadi and is of good colour and gives a teak wood appearance. It is being
marketed in the name english teak. Marble mining in the district has started from 1987
and production of 350 tonnes was reported during 1989. State has earned Rs. 2.77 lakhs
as a revenue from marble during 1988-89.
(d) Granites and Rhyolite :
Jalore-Siwana granites of Nagaur group of pleasing colours occurs in Jodhpur
district. The granite mining has not gained much momentum in the district however the
area around Pipad is being considered for extracting good quality granites. Recently
known areas includes Rawania Madalia, Khewaspura, Chowkri Kalan, Chowkri Khurd,
Kehangte etc. The granites are mostly pink, red, Choclate shade with medium grained.
However porphyratic good variety is also common with large phenocrysts of felspar
embaded in dark colour matrix. It is mostly near village Ramaria. The granites are being
mined only for tile making however big sized blocks can also be extracted. Granite
mining in the district has started during the year 1989 and only 51 tonnes production
was reported valued Rs. 7600 only.
Rhyolites of different colour and shades occurs around Jodhpur. The Mogra area
contains black rhyolites with white specks and is being used for chip making. Other areas
are Kakani (green colour), Rohit (red colour). Malani rhyolites and granites occurring
around Jodhpur. Agolai, Shergarh, Balesar, Thob and Patodi have vast resources for road
metal and railway ballast.
(5) Mineral based industries and future prospects:
Jodhpur district has major deposits of sandstone, limestone, granites,
rhyolites and other useful minerals. Any efforts for industrialization in this backward
district will not only depend on massive exploitation of these major deposits, but also
on the local utilisation as far as possible of the raw materials in new industrial units.
There are about 300 different mineral based industries such as portland cement
(mini cement plants). lime, hydrated lime, quick lime, chalk powder, emery industries,
A.C. Pipes. poles, marble cutting and polishing, S.W pipes, mineral grinding, cement
jallies, R.C.C. spoon pipes etc. The important industries in the district are tabulated
Considering the mineral resources potential, some indications are given below on
possible developments of industries in the district subject to upgrading of the basic
infrastructural facilities.
