RAS question

Giral lignite power plant is in which district?

Correct answer: (D) Barmer.

Giral lignite power plant is located in Barmer district of Rajasthan.

  1. (A)

    Jaisalmer

  2. (B)

    Jodhpur

  3. (C)

    Bikaner

  4. (D)

    Barmer

Explanation

Giral lignite power plant is in Barmer district. The plant is linked to lignite mining at Giral in Barmer, associated with RSMML's lignite operations. The eProcurement System Government of Rajasthan refers to the revival of the existing 2X125 MW Giral lignite thermal project of RVUNL in Barmer District, Rajasthan, and separately lists the work location as Dist Barmer. The power project is connected not merely with lignite as a fuel, but with its named Giral site in Barmer district.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Jaisalmer is associated with gas and wind resources, not with the Giral lignite thermal project.
  • (B) Jodhpur is associated with solar resources, whereas the Giral lignite thermal project is in Barmer district.
  • (C) Bikaner is linked with Barsingsar, while the Giral lignite plant is in Barmer district.

Concept

Rajasthan's energy-resource geography requires district-wise knowledge of thermal power projects and lignite-based sites. RAS often tests power plants, fuels and districts as direct map-based factual associations.
