India's Geothermal Push: New Policy, Global Interest

India is making a plan to use the Earth's heat (geothermal energy) for power.

The government has a new policy to help this.

They're working with companies from Iceland and Norway who are interested in research and pilot projects.

India has a lot of potential for geothermal energy, particularly in the Himalayas and some islands.

It can be used for electricity, heating, and cooling.

The new policy will support research, pilot projects, and collaboration with other countries.

This should help provide electricity to hard to reach areas and potentially lower costs.

The government is exploring financial support to reduce costs.
