Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
A location-classification question is solved by identifying the state in which each named facility is physically situated. A plant may serve several states or belong to a cross-border industrial region, but its site address determines its location.
Application
Singrauli Super Thermal Power Station is at Shaktinagar in Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh.
Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station is at Vindhyanagar in Singrauli district, Madhya Pradesh.
Dadri coal power station is at Vidyut Nagar in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh.
Rihand Super Thermal Power Station is at Rihand Nagar in Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh.
Cross-check
NTPC location records place Singrauli, Dadri, and Rihand in Uttar Pradesh, while they place Vindhyachal in Madhya Pradesh. Therefore, the plant not situated in Uttar Pradesh is Vindhyachal.
