Abstract
A heat flow map constructed for India (Panda 1983) was used to delineate the anomalous geothermal areas. These areas were further classified according to low, medium and high prospects. About 29 geothermal prospective areas have been identified, which are found to be associated with fourteen major geothermal provinces. Preliminary estimation of the accessible geothermal resources of these provinces are in the range of 11 x 10/8 to 984 x 10/8 MW year with a total resource potential of about 3224 x 10/8 MW year.
