Explanation

The Namchik Namphuk coalfields are located in the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh. This region is part of the Tertiary coal deposits found in North Eastern India. These coalfields are significant because they contain high quality coal with high volatile matter and low ash content, though the sulfur content is relatively high. The area is geologically distinct from the Gondwana coalfields found in central India. Therefore, Arunachal Pradesh is the correct state for these specific coal deposits.
