\nThe correct answer is Telangana. Telangana is a landlocked state in India and does not have a coastline.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Mangrove forests are unique ecosystems that grow in intertidal zones along coastlines, estuaries, and river deltas, requiring brackish or saline water conditions.
\n– Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal are coastal states with significant mangrove cover along their shores and deltas (like the Mahanadi Delta in Odisha, Godavari and Krishna Deltas in Andhra Pradesh, and the Sundarbans in West Bengal).
\n<\/section>\n
\nTelangana was formed in 2014 by bifurcating Andhra Pradesh. Being situated in the interior Deccan Plateau, it lacks the coastal or estuarine environment necessary for mangrove growth. Major mangrove areas in India include the Sundarbans (West Bengal), Bhitarkanika (Odisha), Pitchavaram (Tamil Nadu), and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
