Answer: Nawanshahr
Notes: About 25% of Punjab’s area has loamy soils, mainly in Nawanshahr, Nakodar, Phagwara, Kapurthala, Patiala, and Nabha. These soils are deep, dark brown to black, with a pH of 7.8–8.0, suited for intensive cropping of wheat and paddy and are partly salt-affected due to over-irrigation.
