India&#8217;s Geothermal Energy Policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On September 17, 2025, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) officially launched India&#8217;s inaugural National Policy on Geothermal Energy. This landmark policy aims to harness the country&#8217;s untapped geothermal potential, positioning it as a significant contributor to India&#8217;s renewable energy landscape. The policy outlines strategic measures to promote geothermal energy for power generation and direct-use applications, aligning with the nation&#8217;s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Objectives_and_Vision_of_the_Policy\"><\/span>Objectives and Vision of the Policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary objective of the National Geothermal Energy Policy is to establish geothermal energy as a major pillar in India&#8217;s renewable energy sector. The policy envisions a sustainable, secure, and responsible geothermal energy sector that contributes significantly to national climate commitments and energy security. Key goals include enhancing research capabilities, improving drilling techniques, and promoting the adoption of geothermal technologies in various sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategic_Initiatives_and_Implementation\"><\/span>Strategic Initiatives and Implementation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy outlines several strategic initiatives to promote geothermal energy development:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Research and Development<\/strong>: Establishing advanced geothermal exploration techniques and improving reservoir management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Technology Deployment<\/strong>: Encouraging the adoption of geothermal technologies in agriculture, aquaculture, and space heating\/cooling through Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory Framework<\/strong>: Implementing clear guidelines for project approvals and providing long-term exploration leases of up to 30 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Financial Support<\/strong>: Offering fiscal incentives such as tax holidays, import duty exemptions, and property tax exemptions to attract investments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collaboration_with_Other_Sectors\"><\/span>Collaboration with Other Sectors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy promotes joint ventures between geothermal developers and oil, gas, and mineral companies. It encourages collaboration with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) and the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) to convert abandoned oil and gas wells for geothermal utilization. This approach aims to optimize existing infrastructure and reduce development costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pilot_Projects_and_Future_Prospects\"><\/span>Pilot Projects and Future Prospects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its initial phase, the MNRE has sanctioned five pilot geothermal projects to assess the feasibility and potential of geothermal energy in India. These projects will serve as models for future developments and provide valuable data to refine the policy&#8217;s implementation strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" id=\"National-Geothermal-Energy-Policy-India\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newsarenaindia.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.newsarenaindia.com%2F%2Fg20-3jpg_1758357999892.jpg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75\" alt=\"National Geothermal Energy Policy India\" title=\"National Geothermal Energy Policy India\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">National Geothermal Energy Policy India<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_News_is_Important\"><\/span>Why This News is Important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alignment_with_Net-Zero_Emissions_Target\"><\/span>Alignment with Net-Zero Emissions Target<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch of the National Geothermal Energy Policy underscores India&#8217;s commitment to achieving its ambitious target of net-zero emissions by 2070. Geothermal energy, being a stable and continuous source of power, can significantly contribute to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diversification_of_Renewable_Energy_Sources\"><\/span>Diversification of Renewable Energy Sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By introducing geothermal energy into its renewable energy portfolio, India aims to diversify its energy sources, enhancing energy security and reducing vulnerability to fluctuations in solar and wind energy production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Economic_and_Technological_Advancements\"><\/span>Economic and Technological Advancements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy encourages innovation and technological advancements in geothermal energy, potentially leading to the development of indigenous technologies.

In India, the potential for geothermal energy has been recognized due to the presence of hot springs and volcanic regions, particularly in states like Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. However, the development of geothermal energy has been limited due to technological challenges, lack of infrastructure, and regulatory hurdles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The formation of a task force by the MNRE in August 2024 marked a significant step towards addressing these challenges. The task force&#8217;s recommendations laid the foundation for the National Geothermal Energy Policy, aiming to unlock the country&#8217;s geothermal potential and integrate it into the national energy strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
