The four main types of coal found in India:
- Anthracite: It is the highest quality hard coal. It is found in parts of Jammu and Kashmir.
- Bituminous: This coal has been buried deep and subjected to increased temperatures. It is the most popular coal in commercial use. Metallurgical coal is high grade bituminous coal which has a special value for smelting iron in blast furnaces.
- Lignite: It is a low grade brown coal, which is soft with high moisture content. The lignite reserves are in Neyveli in Tamil Nadu. It is used for the generation of electricity.
- Peat: Decaying plants in swamps produce peat, which has low carbon content and high moisture content resulting in low heating capacity.

Answer:
The four types of coal include peat, lignite, bituminous, and anthracite, with anthracite being most desirable due to its high heat content. Coal was formed millions of years ago during the Carboniferous Period from ancient plants found in swamps and bogs.
