Indian Coal Mine Location and Production

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week we are looking at the Indian Coal Mine Location and Production dataset. It has the information of all the coal mines in Indian, with their locations, mine types, etc. It’s a very interesting dataset to explore regional coal industry.

My Visualization


Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.

Insights

  • From the map, we can see three ‘belts’ of coal mines in India, along the mountains – mostly in middle and east India.
  • There are also some smaller ones in west and south borders.
