2 44 Salt Occurrence of rock salt in India is scanty. The only producer, Hindustan Salt Ltd, Jaipur produced salt from its mines located in district Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. The main source of common salt is sea water (about 82%). It is also being obtained from sub soil brines, after evaporation due to solar heat. Common salt, when pure, is mineral halite which is an essential item for human consumption. Halite is colourless or white and may contain various tints. "Salt is a Central subject in the Constitution of India and appears as item No. 58 of the Union list of the 7 th Schedule, which reads: (a) "Manufacture, Supply and Distibution of salt by Union Agencies: and (b) "Regulation and control of manufacture, supply and distribution of salt by other agencies". Central Government is responsible for controlling all aspects of the Salt Industry. Salt Commissioner's Organisation (SCO), Jaipur, Rajasthan, an attached office under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry (Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion). Government of India, is entrusted with the above task.the SCO is responsible for monitoring the production, distribution, supply and administration of Salt Cess Act, 1953 and the rules, made thereunder. RESOURCES As per UNFC system, the total resources of rock salt as on are provisionally estimated at million tonnes in District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. Out of the total resources, about million tonnes falls under proved category and 5.99 million tonnes under probable category. PRODUCTION, STOCKS AND PRICES There was no production of salt (rock) in as well as in due to temporary discontinuance of mining operations. There was no mine-head stocks of salt at the beginning and end of the year However, India is the 3 rd largest salt(common) producing country in the world after China & USA with a production of about 245 lakh tonnes during the year Salt (common) is manufactured mainly by Solar evaporation of Sea water in vast coastal states. Gujarat was the leading state followed by Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Karnataka, West Bengal, Goa and Diu Daman. There are about 11,799 salt manufacturers engaged in production of common salt in an extent of about 6 lakh acres land in the country. Out of these, about 6% each are in the large and medium category manufacturers and the rest 88% are small scale producers. The major by-products recovered in the Salt Industry are Gypsum, Bromine, Magnesium Chloride and Magnesium Sulphate.The average number of labourers employed in the salt industry during and were 111,932 and 108,786 respectively. Prices of salt are furnished in the General Review on 'Prices'. MINING Due to lack of production of salt (rock) during and onwards, no remarkable development of mining of salt (rock) has occured. Hindustan Salts Ltd and its subsidiary Sambhar Salts Ltd have their own rock salt mines at Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. The company has proposed to set up a solution mining project to feed to chloroalkali plant of 60,000 tpy capacity. 44-2

3 USES Salt, in addition to its culinary and domestic uses, is also employed in meat packing, fish curing and its preservation, dairying, preservation & processing of hides, manufacturing of soaps, detergent and dyestuff, dyeing and finishing of fabrics, refrigeration, glazing earthenware, explosives, leather industries, bakery products, for soil stabilisation, in manufacturing artificial rubber and as a wood preservative. In agriculture, salt is used for treating hay and as a fertilizer for certain crops. In countries with cold weather conditions, salt is used in controlling ice and snow on streets and highways. Industrial Applications Salt is an important raw material for chemical industry. It is used in the production of basic chemicals like sodium carbonate (soda ash), caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, chlorine, bleaching powders, chlorates, sodium sulphate (salt cake) and sodium metal. These basic chemicals, in turn, are used in the preparation of various end products, such as soaps, detergents, chlorinated hydrocarbons and carbon tetrachloride. Other important uses are in food processing and as freezing-point depressant in refineries and milk supply schemes, for the treatment of industrial wastes, in the manufacture of synthetic indigo, explosives, papers, purification of drinking water, etc. The rock salt produced from Mandi mines contains 67.81% NaCl which is not suitable for human consumption as the content of sodium chloride should be 96% NaCl (Min) for human consumption. Hence it is generally used to feed cattle. Iodised Salt The SCO is the nodal agency for monitoring the production and quality of iodised salt at the prodution level and ensuring its equitable distribution in the country. The programme is known as National Iodine Deficiency Disorder Control Programme (NIDDCP). A portion of rock salt produced is iodised in order to meet the requirements of goitre-endemic areas in the country. Iodised salt is produced by mixing potassium iodate with salt using spray, drip feed, dry mixing and submersion processes. Iodisation of salt is carried out in plants operated by Sambhar Salts Ltd (a subsidiary of Hindustan Salts Ltd), Kharagodah, Gujarat. About 831 plants including 67 refineries with an annual capacity of 17 million tpy produces over 6 million tonnes of iodised salt. The Hindustan Salts Ltd has also set up an iodisation plant at Ramnagar in Nainital district, Uttarakhand. Potassium lodate Manufacture Potassium lodate, used in iodised salt is produced indigenously, however, iodine, the basic raw material for its production is imported. 14 potassium iodate manufacturing units are registered with the department. Statewise production of salt (common) during the year is furnished in Table-1. Table 1 : Statewise production of Salt (Common) (By States) States Andhra Pradesh 336 Diu Daman Goa 1.93 Gujarat HimachalPradesh - Karnataka 15 Maharashtra 160 Odisha 34 Rajasthan 1825 Tamil Nadu 2431 West Bengal 14 Figures rounded off CONSUMPTION (Quantity in '000 tonnes) Industrial consumption of salt (comman) is steadily increasing and has registered a record high of million tonnes in During the same period, human consumption of salt was reported at 5.91 million tonnes. The industrial consumption of salt is given in Table
