In the context of Mineral distribution of India, which of the following is INCORRECT regarding the "South-Western Plateau region" Belt?
This belt has huge amount of coal reserves.
The question asks which statement about the South-Western Plateau region mineral belt of India is INCORRECT.
The correct answer (the incorrect statement) is that this belt has a huge amount of coal reserves, which is false.
The South-Western Plateau belt covers Karnataka, Goa, and the contiguous uplands of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, so that statement is true.
This belt is rich in ferrous metals and bauxite and contains high-grade iron ore, making those two statements correct.
However, it is markedly poor in coal, except for the small Neyveli lignite deposits; the major coal reserves of India lie in the Gondwana fields of the Damodar, Godavari and Mahanadi valleys.
Therefore, claiming huge coal reserves for the South-Western Plateau belt is factually wrong and is the statement being sought.
Hence the INCORRECT statement is This belt has huge amount of coal reserves.
