India has launched its first national policy on geothermal energy, aiming to incorporate this renewable resource into its energy mix as part of its commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2070. The policy emphasizes research and development, financial incentives, and collaboration with international bodies to overcome challenges such as high upfront costs.

It aims to create a supportive ecosystem for public and private stakeholders while facilitating the exploration and utilization of geothermal resources. The initiative also includes pilot projects and a focus on integrating geothermal energy with other renewable sources.
