Abstract
Geothermal exploration carried out by the Geological Survey of India. has generated valuable data through ex tensive surface cientific studies, backed by exploratory drilling down to a depth of 500 m at selec ted geologi cal, geochemical, hydrological and thermal parameters of the geothermal systems, in India. These studies have established that most of the hot spring belts exist either along margins of Indian and Asian plates involved in Tertiary orogeny; or along major structural lineament belts with active Tertiary and r e activation manifesting increased seismicity ; and also sometimes incorporating oil and coal basins.
