4 Production The total estimated value of mineral production (excludes atomic minerals ) in West Bengal at ` 7,811 crore in decreased by 6%, mainly due to increase in the unit value of coal as compared to the previous year. The State accounted for about 3% of the value of mineral production in the country. Coal accounted for 94% of the value of mineral production in the State, while natural gas (utilised) contributed 4% of the value during the review period.
