ONGC to Commence Drilling for India’s First Geothermal Project in June

Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) is all set to commence a new drilling initiative in June for India’s first geothermal venture in Ladakh. The project aims to establish a sustainable source for emission-free electricity, space heating, and irrigation in challenging landscapes. If the project progresses smoothly, a power plant with a minimum capacity of 1 MW will be established by the following year. ONGC is receiving guidance from consultants based in Iceland, a nation that relies on geothermal energy for two-thirds of its primary energy needs.
