Valia, a small city in Bharuch district, Gujarat, is renowned for its vast lignite reserves, making it a significant hub for lignite mining in India. Operated by the Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC), the Valia lignite mine spans over 3000 hectares and holds more than 300 million tonnes of lignite, fueling both industrial growth and power generation, including a proposed 1000 MW power plant. The city's geological importance stems from its location within the Cambay Shale Formation, dating back to the early Eocene, which also holds potential for hydrocarbon exploration. Beyond its industrial prominence, Valias historical and natural landscape, shaped by ancient forested environments, adds to its unique identity. The lignite mining operations have brought economic development to the region, while ongoing efforts focus on environmental sustainability through land reclamation and pollution control
