The state has several coal mines, including the Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) mine, which is the largest lignite mine in India. Lignite is a type of coal that is lower in quality than other types of coal, but it is still a valuable energy resource.<\/p>\n<p>Coal is a non-renewable resource, and its use contributes to climate change.
