Neyveli coalfield: Located in Tamil Nadu, near Cuddalore, it's the southernmost coalfield in India. It primarily contains lignite, a younger and lower-quality form of coal.
Singareni coalfield: Situated in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, it's the next coalfield northward. It contains both coking and non-coking coal of Gondwana origin.
Jhilimili coalfield: Located in Chhattisgarh, north of Singareni, it's primarily known for its non-coking coal reserves.
Giridih coalfield: Situated in Jharkhand, north of Jhilimili, it's one of the major coalfields in India and contains both coking and non-coking coal.
