Geothermal Energy in India

India's total geothermal potential has been estimated to be approximately 10,000 MW through various studies, but so far India hasn't seen any commercial scale utilization of this huge, clean and free source of energy. The objective of this research project was to assess India's geothermal potential and develop a framework for techno-economic analysis of geothermal opportunities in the region and illustrate the application of such an analysis through detailed simulations and modelling of a geothermal plant in the Puga Valley (Leh, Himachal Pradesh).
