Description

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has unveiled India's first National Policy on Geothermal Energy to tap the country's vast geothermal potential. The policy aims to establish geothermal energy as a major pillar of India's renewable energy landscape, supporting the 2070 net-zero emissions goal. It includes measures to promote exploration, development, and use of geothermal resources for electricity generation and direct-use applications such as heating, cooling, agriculture, and tourism. The policy also encourages repurposing abandoned oil and gas wells for geothermal energy and provides financial incentives and support mechanisms to developers.
