The Khetri copper mines in Rajasthan are located in which district?

Explanation

Khetri is in Jhunjhunu district: Hindustan Copper Limited lists its Khetri Copper Complex at Khetri Nagar in District Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. The Khetri copper mines are in Jhunjhunu as part of the Khetri Copper Belt in the Aravalli region. The historical angle matters because the mines are treated as a major ancient copper source, linked to raw material reaching Ganeshwar and, through that site, copper objects associated with the Harappan civilisation. The district location connects Rajasthan's mineral geography with early metal use and archaeology.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Udaipur is not the Khetri location; it is a district with different mineral deposits, while Khetri is placed in Jhunjhunu.
• (B) Ajmer is not associated with the Khetri copper mines; Hindustan Copper Limited places Khetri Copper Complex in Jhunjhunu.
• (D) Sikar can confuse aspirants because Ganeshwar is in Sikar, but the Khetri mines themselves are located in Jhunjhunu.

Concept

Rajasthan's mineral geography includes district-wise locations of important mining belts. Khetri recurs in RAS because such sites link physical geography with ancient Rajasthan and Harappan-era material culture.
