Hydroelectric Plant in India
http://aboutrenewableenergy.org/hydro-power/hydro-power-plant-in-india.php

In the north and west India, hydroelectric power is used, due to the many rivers that flow there.

Along the west coast, coal  and petroleum is found.

In south and west India, iron is found.

In northwest India, there is little phophate.

In south India, there is a little gold.

In general, there are not many resources. Most of the resources are in the west and south and are distributed unevenly throughout the country. Most of them are located along the edge of India so it is easier to export.
