Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, off the Jaipur-Delhi National
Highway (NH-8). It also lies along the inter-state natural gas pipe-line.

Bikaner a Ceramic Insulator Industry

Hub in Rajasthan
Bikaner is situated in the north-west of Rajasthan. Certain parts of the
district such as Kolayat, Nokha, Dulmera, Mudh, Gura and Lunkaransar
have large mineral deposits consisting of white clay, gypsum, lignite,
etc. The annual volume of white clay mined in the region is about 8

products. The availability of white clay has led to the development of

Nokha

pottery units as well as ceramic industry in the region. Despite being a

raw material rich region, the Ceramic Industry is still largely
underdeveloped. The availability of good quality clay coupled with
locally available craftsmanship gives Rajasthan an opportunity to
emerge as an important cluster for ceramics in the country.
