Centre announces policy to tap geothermal energy
NEW DELHI: India on Monday launched its first national policy on geothermal energy, joining a growing list of countries betting on subterranean heat to power their clean energy transitions.
India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy said the policy aims to unlock the country’s untapped geothermal potential through incentives and regulations.
It also encourages repurposing abandoned oil and gas wells and deploying ground source heat pumps for heating and cooling.
