India's First Geothermal Power Project at Puga Valley, Ladakh

planned

The project involves setting up India's first geothermal power plant at Puga Valley in Ladakh, at an altitude of over 14,000 ft. It includes the development of a 1 MWe pilot geothermal power plant, deepening existing geothermal wells, drilling new wells, and preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for large-scale commercial exploitation of geothermal energy in Ladakh. The project aims to harness sustainable geothermal energy as an alternative energy source, reduce dependence on conventional fuels, and lower carbon emissions.
