Solution
The Neyveli Lignite coal field in Tamil Nadu is the largest lignite deposit field in South India.
Explanation:
The Neyveli Lignite coal field is located in the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu and is the largest lignite (brown coal) deposit in South India. It is operated by the Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) and plays a significant role in electricity generation and industrial uses. Due to its lower grade compared to other forms of coal, like bituminous and anthracite, lignite from Neyveli is primarily used in thermal power stations for generating electricity.
