The policy focuses on research, inter-ministerial collaboration, and adoption of global best practices, promoting electricity generation, direct-use heating/cooling, tourism, and desalination. The policy also emphasizes capacity building, international collaboration, and technology-driven innovation to make geothermal a reliable and clean energy source supporting India’s Net Zero 2070 goals.
