•The need for a complementary analytical technique to the current PIXE-Charnockite analysis.•The XRF technique on charnockite helps to fill the elemental gaps which are not detected by PIXE.•The advantages and disadvantages of PIXE at various elements in charnockite composition are discussed with respect to XRF.•Final modifications during the publication of the results of the Charnockite-PIXE analysis were made. The results of geochemical analysis of elements in matrix geological materials like charnockites by using the Proton Induced X-ray Emission technique are compared with other previous analytic results of X-Ray Fluorescence. In this investigation, PIXE has been used for elemental analysis of a variety of charnockite rocks in the form of a high-grade matrix at Charnockite hill, Eastern Ghats AP, India. The elemental concentrations in charnockites by using the present PIXE technique for multi elemental analysis are discussed from a previous study XRF of the exterior part of the charnockite analysis. The merits, limitations, and other factors of the experiments related to PIXE and XRF techniques in the case of elemental analysis of charnockite rock have been reviewed.
