Neyveli in Tamil Nadu is famous for its lignite deposits, which belong to the Tertiary geological period (approximately 2-66 million years ago). The Neyveli thermal power station is specifically designed to burn this lignite. Gondwana coal is much older (Permian period), while Cambrian and Quaternary are not relevant coal classifications in India.
