Abstract
Geothermal provinces within the Deccan basalt province derive the heat from high heat producing granites that underlie the basalt cover. Fluids circulating within these granites issue at the surface with temperatures varying from 57 to 98 °C. These granites form the basement rocks in NE part of the Deccan basalt province. Subsurface lithological information deduced from geophysical and geological data reveal excellent EGS sites in this province.
