Abstract
This belt has a great regional extent, nearly 1800 km long, and runs mostly along the East Coast of India, from Bhubaneswar on the northeast, through the southern parts of the peninsula, following the coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh and extending right up to the west coast, passing through Madras city, Nilgiri Hills, Mangalore and Cape Comorin. The charnockites together with the khondalite suite of rocks constitute the most important rock types in this belt. Figure 5.1 shows the location of this belt and its relationship to adjoining Dharwar and Bastar provinces.
