Explanation
1. The question requires identifying the location marked on the map that does *not* have a thermal power station, assuming the other three do.
2. Need to identify the locations marked 1, 2, 3, and 4 and know the major thermal power station locations in India around 1995.
3. Location 1 appears to be near the coast in Gujarat, possibly near Sikka or Ukai (though Ukai is inland).
4. Location 2 appears to be in southern Karnataka or northern Tamil Nadu. Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) in Tamil Nadu is a major thermal power hub.
5. Location 3 seems to be in Maharashtra, possibly near Chandrapur or Koradi/Khaparkheda (Nagpur). These are major thermal power areas.
6. Location 4 is in eastern India, possibly in Odisha or West Bengal. Talcher in Odisha and Farakka/Kolaghat in West Bengal are major thermal power locations.
7. Without precise identification of the marked points and knowledge of all specific power plants of that era, it's difficult to be certain. However, assuming locations 2, 3, and 4 represent major thermal hubs like Neyveli, Chandrapur/Nagpur area, and Talcher/Farakka respectively, location 1 might represent an area without a major thermal plant or a different type of plant. *Requires specific map identification and knowledge of power plant locations circa 1995.* Assuming 2, 3, 4 are established thermal power locations like Neyveli, Chandrapur, Talcher/Farakka, then location 1 might be the one without a thermal power station among the choices. *This analysis relies heavily on interpreting the map points and assuming they represent major known locations.* Let's assume location 1 represents a region like Kutch or Saurashtra where major thermal power stations might have been less prominent compared to the other marked regions in 1995. Location 1 is marked near the Gulf of Kutch.
