GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA

SOUTHERN REGION
1. INTRODUCTION
• The Geological Survey of India (GSI) was set up in 1851
preliminarily to find coal deposits for Railways, with its
headquarters at Kolkata.
• Over the years to cover the regional areas, six regional offices
were set up at Lucknow, Jaipur, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Shillong
& Kolkata with State offices in all the States of the country.
• The Geological Survey of India, Southern Region was set up
in November, 1961 under the Directorship of K. R. Khedkar.
• The Southern Region Office comprises of State Units
Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad; State Unit Tamil Nadu &
Puducherry at Chennai and Kerala Unit at Tiruvananthapuram;
State Units Karnataka & Goa at Bengaluru to look after the
local geological investigations. After the implementation of the
HPC recommendations, and Mission mode operations in the
Region, the activities of tree units of Mission 1A - Marine and
Costal Surveys (M&CS) Division (Kochi, Mangalore and
Viskhapatnam), Mission II B - Natural Energy Resource
(REnR; Coal and Lignite) and two units of Mission IB -
Remote Sensing and Airborne Surveys (RSAS; PPOD,
Bangalore and Hyderabad) have also been included in the SR.
GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
The Southern Peninsular India comprising the states of Andhra Pradesh,
Karnataka, Goa, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala exposes lithological
assemblages from Archaean to recent with varied physiography.
The triangular-shaped southern peninsular India is divisible into four
physiographic units viz., i) East and West Coastal Plains (ii) Eastern Ghats iii) Deccan
Plateau and iv) Western Ghats. The region comprises mostly of the Deccan Plateau,
flanked by linear stretches of coastal plains and is drained by major easterly flowing
Rivers like Godavari, Krishna, Tungabhadra, Pennar and Cauvery with minor River
courses flowing from the foothills of Western Ghats.

GEOLOGICAL MILIEU OF SOUTHERN INDIA

Archaean to Proterozoic
The southern Indian peninsular shield comprises the Dharwar craton in the
north and the southern Granulite Terrane in the south with a boundary called the
Fermor Line. The Dharwar Craton encompasses the states of Karnataka and Andhra
Pradesh. The Dharwar craton is a typical Archaean granite-greenstone terrane with a
gneissic basement of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) composition known as
Peninsular Gneisses. The Dharwar Craton is charecterised by prominent intracratonic
proterozoic sedimentary basins vis-à-vis Cuddapah Basin, Kurnool Basin, Bhima and
Kaladgi Basins. The craton is bounded in the east by the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt,
in the northeast by the Bastar craton, and is covered in the northwest by the Deccan
Traps. The Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt is a granulite terrain mainly made up of
charnockite, khondalite, quartzite, calc-granulite, pyroxene granulite and leptynites
extending into Orissa in a northeasterly direction. In the northern part, the craton is
partly covered by Phanerozoic Gondwana sediments along the NW-SE trending
Godavari Rift/Graben, which is flanked on either side by Proterozoic sedimentary
sequences of Pakhal, Penganga and Sullavai basins.
Palaeozoic and Mesozoic Sediments:
Rocks of Gondwana Supergroup are exposed along the Pranhita-Godavari valley in
Andhra Pradesh. In Tamil Nadu coast, Phanerozoic sediments are well developed in
the Palar basin. Mesozoic rocks are exposed in five sub-basins along the Tamil Nadu
and Puducherry coast, namely ‘Palar’, ‘Puducherry’, ‘Vriddhachalam’,
‘Tiruchirapalli’ and ‘Sivaganga’ sub-basins. The Gondwana sediments of the
Godavari Valley are hosting rich coal deposits in Andhra Pradesh.
Deccan Traps:
The Deccan Traps covers a vast area of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh an area
of about 42,000 sq km in the north and northwest covering mainly in the districts of
Adilabad, Nizamabad, Medak, Ranga Reddy and Mahbubnagar and East and West
Godavari districts in Andhra Pradesh ,and Bidar district, parts of Belgaum, Bijapur
and Gulbarga districts in Karnataka.
Tertiary Sediments:
The Tertiary sequence in Andhra Pradesh is represented by Rajahmundry

Formation, along the coast between Samarlakota in the northeast and Eluru in the
5
southwest. In Tamil Nadu Tertiary age starts with Ariyalur Group exposed in the
Tiruchirapalli, Puducherry and Cuddalore.
Quaternary and Recent Sediments:
The Quaternary sediments in the southern peninsular India occurs along the
coastal tracts and inland river valleys by narrow continuous palaeo-beach ridges,
interrupted by the prograding deltas of major rivers. They are represented by thick
blankets of alluvium, gravel and colluvial deposits, beach sand, kankar, soils of
various types and laterite.
MINERAL RESOURCES OF SOUTHERN REGION
Southern Indian states are endowed with rich mineral wealth. Significant mineral
deposits, namely, ferrous, non-ferrous and noble metals, precious & semi-precious stones,
strategic minerals, fossil fuels and other industrial minerals are found in diverse geological
formations ranging from Archaean to Quaternary. The Archaean high grade metamorphic
rocks, such as, Sargur Group hosts mica, copper, barytes and gemstones; Dharwar
Greenstone belts are repositories of gold and iron ore; Peninsular Gneiss are loci for
diamondiferous kimberlites, apart from having good potential for dimension stones, chromite
and precious & semi-precious stones and Eastern Ghats granulites & Southern granulite
terrain contains bauxite, manganese, graphite, apatite, gemstones, tungsten and dimension
stones. The Proterozoic rocks, confined mostly to the intra-cratonic basins, contain
basemetals, barytes, asbestos, limestone, dolomite, diamonds, iron, and manganese ores,
magnesite, phosphorite and uranium. The Late Palaeozoic - Early Mesozoic rocks, referred to
as Gondwanas contain coal deposits and clay. The Tertiary and Quaternary rocks contain oil
and natural gas, lignite,beach sands, clay, diamond and other gemstones. The mineral
deposits of national importance are limestone, bauxite, barytes, coal&lignite gold, diamond,
dimension stones, manganese, mica and oil & gas and limestone
Andhra Pradesh has large reserves of different grades of limestone (about 13000 Million
tonnes), it accounts for nearly 25% of the country’s limestone resources with a quarter of
country’s cement production with 34 cement plants in operation. The cement production is of
the order of 12 Mt/ annum. Besides cement grade limestone, significant reserves of BF, SMS
and high-grade limestones are also found. It stands next to Orissa in bauxite reserves. Good
quality bauxite occurring as high-level cappings over the khondalite-charnockite suite of
rocks. The reserves of bauxite estimated in these districts are placed at 565 Mt. The deposits
6
in AP and Orissa with a total reserve of about 1650 Mt constitute one of the largest bauxite
deposits in the world. The largest barytes deposit in the world with a reserve of 74 Mt is
located in Mangampeta in Cuddapah District. This deposit occurs in the Pullampet Shale of
the Cuddapah Super group. The state possesses reserves of coal estimated up to 1200 m depth
are of the order of 13020 Mt, from coal bearing formations in Godavari Valley. Archaean
greenstone belts are the major repositories of gold. They occur as linear, narrow and
subparallel N-S to NNW-SSE trending schist belts amidst the Peninsular Gneissic Complex.
The state has the distinction of having produced many of the historically famous diamonds
like the Koh-i-noor, the Great Mogul, the Hope and the Orloff. Both primary
(kimberlites/lamproites) and secondary (conglomerates and gravel) source rocks of diamond
occur in different parts of the state. Andhra Pradesh has immense potential for granite based
dimensional stone industry. The Archaean-Proterozoic granite-gneiss terrain occupying more
than 60% of the state is a storehouse of multicoloured rocks of which the Galaxy Granite
(hypersthene gabbro norite) occurring in Prakasam District has high export potential. The
state contributes about 90% of the manganese ore production in the country. The ore is
mainly associated with kodurites of the Khondalite Group in Eastern Ghats and Penganga
beds in the Pakhal Basin. At the national level, Andhra Pradesh occupies eighth position in
mineral production with a share of about 8%. Apart from these mineral commodities
significant prospects of oil and natural gas have been identified over an area of about 40,000
sq km on-shore and off-shore in the Krishna-Godavari basins in parts of East and West
Godavari and Krishna districts. The state is endowed with significant occurrences of strategic
minerals/metals, which include monazite, ilmenite, tungsten, uranium and molybdenum.
These are found in various geological environments. A number of occurrences of precious
and semiprecious stones are known from gem belt in the Eastern Ghats, distributed in East
Godavari, Visakhapatnam and Vizianagaram districts.
Tamil Nadu and Puducherry is endowed with several varieties of minerals .The important
minerals include fossil fuel lignite associated with Cuddalore Formation, of Cauvery basin,
metalliferous minerals such as base metals such as Polymetallic and iron sulphide
mineralisation in Mamandur of Cuddalore District. The state has bauxite reserves occurring
as irregular lenses - pockets and high-level laterite cappings over charnockite in the Nilgiri
Hills, Shevroy Hills, Kollimalai Hills, and the Palani Hills. Layered Mafic - ultra mafic
complexes of the state are the repositaries of chromite deposts mainly occurring in
Sittampundi and Karungalpatti in Salem District and Karappadi , Mallanayakanpalayam and
Solavanur in Coimbatore District. Gold occurs in the Nilgiri District and the adjoining parts
of Kerala. The state possesses reserves of over 500 million tonnes of magnetite, with an
7
average grade of 38% iron for the major deposits occurring in Salem, Vellore,
Tiruvannamalai, Villupuram, Dharmapuri, Thiruchirappalli, Namakkal and Perambalur
Districts. Molybdenum mineralisation occurs in two different geological settings - one
associated with the alkaline group of rocks like in Harur-Uttangarai - Alangayam Belt in
Dharmapuri &Vellore Districts and the other in a graphite pegmatite intrusive into migmatitic
gneiss of Karadikuttam area of Dindigul District. The state is endowed with reserves and
resources of non-metallic and industrial minerals such as apatite occurring in hybrid rocks
(syenite-pyroxenite) and in the carbonatite near Sevattur, Vellore District, with reserves of
190,000 tonnes. Phosphatic nodules deposit occur in association with gypseous clay and
shale of Karai Formation of Uttattur Group of Cretaceous age, in Tiruchirapalli District. A
total probable reserve of 127,000 tonnes was estimated. The P205 content of the nodules
varies from 21.14 to 26.50%. Tamil Nadu is the dimensional capital of the country, with
various varieties of commercial deposits,with estimated probable resource estimate of
dimension stone granites during Phase I investigation (1992-97) of around 23.62 million cu
m. The projected minimum export of around 250,000 cu. m. in the next five years is likely to
bring in foreign exchange of about 120 million U.S. Dollar. Graphite occurrence is located in
Puvandhi in Sivaganga District, Kurinjankulam in Tirunelveli District, Palakottai Hill and
near Pudupalaiyam in Vellore District and Tirumangalam, Ponnamangalam in Madurai
District. Reserves are estimated of over 0.6 million tonnes of graphite concentrate in Tamil
Nadu. Gypsum reserves of 15.60 million tones are reported from Perambalur in Perambalur
District and Lalgudi Taluk in Tiruchirapalli District. The state has major heavy mineral
deposit (Ilmenite, Rutile, Monazite and Garnet sands) associated with the beach sands spread
along its vast coastal tracts, major concentration of these heavy minerals occur along east
coast between Kolachal and Kanyakumari in Kanyakumari district with reserves of 45,75,605
tonnes, as reported by Atomic Minerals Division (AMD), apart from these 93,60,093 tonnes
of heavy mineral deposit have been estimated by the (source AMD) between
Periaswamipuram and Vembar Naripaiyur in Ramanathapuram District. In the Union
Territory of Pondicherry, Ilmenite and garnet sands occur along the coast of Karaikal with
reserves of 17,26,862 tonnes (source AMD).
Substantial limestone deposits occur in Tamil Nadu both as crystalline and non-crystalline
(amorphous) varieties besides corals. The bulk of limestone deposits of are mainly distributed
in parts of Salem, Tiruchirapalli, Karur, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Ramanathapuram,
Nagapattinam, Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Coimbatore Districts. The total reserves of
crystalline limestone are 200 million tonnes of ‘Proved’ category and about 25-30 million
tonnes of ‘Inferred’ category. Non-crystalline limestones are located in parts of
8
Tiruchirapalli, Tirunelveli and Tuticorin Districtswith reseve base of about 670 million
tonnes of both 'proved' and 'inferred' categories of which 650 million tonnes of Cretaceous
age distributed in erstwhile Tiruchirapalli District while rest are of Tertiary age distributed in
Tirunelveli District. Coral limestone is found in a series of islands in Gulf of Mannar, Palk
Bay and Rameswaram. Prominent deposit of magnesite is located on Chalk Hills as criss-
cross veins traversing dunite / peridotite in Salem District with estimated reserves of at 44
million tonnes. Apart from other commodities like asbestos, barytes, clay, corundum,
feldspars, gemstones, mica, ochre, moulding and glass sand, quartz, sillimanite, steatite and
vermiculite. Besides these, minor occurrences of minerals such as beryl, celestite, columbite-
tantalite, garnet, ilmenite, kankar, nickel ore, pyrite, allanite and salt are also recorded
Karnataka state is well known for its gold deposits, apart from manganese, Iron ore and
limestone in the country. The percentage of the total resources contributed by the state being
64% of gold which forms the bulk of the known gold resources of the country. The mines in
the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) and the Hutti mines accounted for about 98% of the primary
gold production in India during 1992. The well known Kolar Gold Field has a long record of
continuous production since 1880 with a peak production of 19,565 Kg in 1905 and has so far
produced 815 tonnes of 'Yellow Metal'. Much of the mineralisation so far identified in the
Kolar, Hutti-Maski, Gadag and Chitradurga schist belts appears to be essentially sheared
controlled, but the gold is also hosted in a variety of litho-packs associated with schist belt
and adjoining rocks. The state has the largest recoverable reserves of manganese ore in the
country. Manganese ore minerals occur in close association with haematite and carbonates as
stratiform, lenticular, patchy or pockety deposits of varying dimensions, within various
greenstone belts. Karnataka is endowed with a number of major iron ore deposits. The iron
ore deposits of Karnataka are principally of two types, (i) Lateritoid concentrations,
essentially of haematite with minor limonite and goethite. Major deposits of haematite occur
in Sandur, Chitradurga and Shimoga schist belts in Bellary, North Kanara, Chikmagalur,
Shimoga, Chitradurga and Tumkur districts. Magnetite deposits occur in the Bababudan and
Western Ghat schist belts in Chikmagalur, Shimoga and North Kanara districts. Magnetite
mainly occurs in the Bababudan Group as lenses or as beds in the banded magnetite quartzite.
Extensive deposits of high-grade limestone occur in the Proterozoic Kaladgi and Bhima
basins covering parts of Belgaum, Bijapur and Gulbarga districts. While cement grade, BF
(Blast Furnace) grade, SMS (Steel Melting Shop) grade and chemical grade limestone occurs
in the lower Bagalkot Group of the Kaladgi Supergroup, the cement grade limestone is
reported from Bhima basin with reserves of 12181mt.Karnataka has substantial resources of
9
haematite, bauxite, chromite, dolomite, quartz and silica sand along with various types of
clay, fuller’s earth, titaniferous/vanadiferous magnetite and talc, steatite (soapstone).
Goa possesses economic mineral deposits, particularly iron and manganese ores. The in situ
reserves of about 967 million tonnes of the haematite, 187 million tonnes of magnetite and
83.1 million tonnes of manganese ore respectively constitute 8.00%, 3.08% and 22.4% of the
total resources estimated for the country. Because of their proximity to the sea port, they are
being mined extensively for export. Besides iron and manganese, a number of deposits of
bauxite, silica sand, low grade limestone, clays, low grade chromite and quartzite are also
known from Goa.
Kerala, has rich mineral resources base with reference to heavy mineral sands along the
coast and rich clay deposits. The economic clay deposits in Kerala are of residual and
sedimentary clays are found. The former is a weathering product of the feldspars in the
gneisses and granites. Sedimentary clay is found in association with the Tertiary
sedimentaries along the coastal belt of Kerala. Kerala is an important producer of kaolinitic
clay, ball clay and china clay. Mining of clay is confined to Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam,
Ernakulam, Kannur and Kasaragod districts. The state produces annually an average of 1.08
lakh tonnes of processed china clay forming 9.08% of the country’s annual production. Fire
clay and ball clay are also mined in the state. The heavy mineral deposits mostly dominated
by ilmenite and monazite are confined to sandy beaches of coastal stretches.
The occurrence of large quantity of ilmenite and monazite in the coastal sands of Varkala and
Chavara in Kollam District are well known. The sandy beach west of Nirkunnam to south of
Trikkunnapuzha in Alappuzha District forms the northern continuation of the famous
Chavara heavy mineral deposit. These deposits are being worked by the Kerala Minerals and
Metals Ltd. and Indian Rare Earths Ltd. In Malappuram District, the coastal tract between
south of Ponnani to Balangod is endowed with 9,15,000 tonnes of ilmenite, 1,80,000 tonnes
of magnetite, 2,30,000 tonnes of garnet and 4000 tonnes of zircon. While the
Thiruvananthapuram District deposit of ilmenite and monazite in beach sands are found in
Vizhinjam, Kovalam and near Veli and Varkala. The AMD has estimated a reserve of 3.33
million tonnes of heavies from these areas out of which ilmenite constitutes a reserve of 2
million tonnes. Apart from these GSI has proved the probable resources of Ilmenite-0.9
million tonnes, Rutile- .07 million tonnes, Zircon-0.06 million tonnes and Sillimanite-0.3
10
million tonnes. in the inner shelf areas of Kollam-Varkala sector. Other occurrences include
bauxite, iron ore, graphite, limestone and gold.
2. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
The Geological Survey of India is now formally an attached office of the Ministry of Mines.
Till July, 2009 it was a subordinate office and its up gradation follows recommendation of a
High Powered Committee set up in 2008. The organizational structure of GSI is undergoing
changes commensurate with its new-found status. The organizational structure of GSI is
already substantially oriented to meet the needs of specialization as well as multidisciplinary
study.
The Union Cabinet had constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) to thoroughly review
the functioning of Geological Survey of India and assess its capacity to meet the emerging
challenges taking into account the technological and manpower resources of the organisation.
The report of the committee had been submitted and accepted. The revised organizational
structure, submitted by the Committee and accepted by Government, is under the process of
implementation.
Organizational Structure of the Region:
GSI has its Central Headquarters in Kolkata and six Regional offices (geographically based)
at Kolkata, Shillong, Lucknow, Jaipur, Nagpur and Hyderabad and has State Units in almost
all States.
The GSI, SR in the current organizational setup in Mission mode is given in the following

4. DMG requested GSI to study the minerals in the existing mines and small deposits. There are
scopes of finding valuable mineral deposits around the peripheries of existing mines and
deposits.
SGPB – 41 – 30-07-2008
1. Departments like GSI should look into exploring and estimating the resources of minerals like
bauxite (extension of East Coast Bauxite), iron ore, dolomite and minor minerals like quartz,
feldspar, dimensional stones etc., in view of perpetual demand for these raw materials and also
because more entrepreneurs are coming forward to invest on exploitation of these minerals.
2. DMG has apprehension that GSI is not considering some of the investigations proposed by DMG
like assessment of iron ore of Cuddapah district, dolomite, quartz, feldspar etc. for which local
entrepreneurs are coming forward for exploitation.
3. GSI clarified that priorities are decided with a national perspective. Acute shortage of human
resource is a major constraint in taking up many of the investigations If the entrepreneurs are
interested, exploratory investigation and resource evaluation can be taken up by the DMG and
worthiness of the deposits (with low grade iron ore with small dimensions) can be assessed. As
per the National Mineral policy, the investigations of other minor minerals come within the
purview of the State Government.
4. Bauxite deposits in East Godavari, Visakhapatnam and Vizayanagaram districts occurs as scatted
deposits, which have been investigated in the past by GSI. The reserves estimated in the three
districts from 22 deposits are placed at 565 million tones. Further work can be taken up if specific
proposal with justification is received from the DMG, A.P.
SGPB – 42 – 07-09-09
1. Chair Person suggested that GSI should take up mineral investigations of low grade iron ore,
cement grade limestone and bauxite in different parts of A.P.
2. GSI informed the house that three items of iron ore, limestone and manganese have been
proposed for FS 2009-10 due to shortage of man power. As per HPC recommendations, GSI is
being strengthened and in future it will be possible to take up more number of mineral
investigations.
3. DMG has suggested for taking up investigations related to dolomite, bauxite, base metals, steatite
in different parts of the state.

1. The unserviceable trucks have not covered the prescribed life in terms of Kms. Moreover, for smooth progress of the Drilling
operations, trucks are very much required. Accordingly, these vehicles are being taken up last and a minimum of 6 (SIX) HCVs are to be
purchased immediately, as hiring of these vehicles in remote areas is not possible, due to their non-availability.
2. Inspection and Issuance of Condemnation Certificates by the AAI/ APSRTC/ RTO for the 8 vehicles written-off till February, is
awaited.
3. 14 Vehicles proposed for write-off after March, which are running in Field will be taken up after their return.
4. Two(2) Vehicles were withdrawn from write-off due to shortage of vehicles at SU:TNP, both are
less than 15 years of age.
