Conventional Energy Sources(MNES). The<br />
ranking studies <strong>of</strong> geothermal fields in India<br />

Geothermal Fields was prepared by NHPC<br />
which has been examined by MNES and<br />
now NGRI has been asked to submit<br />
proposal to MNES for conducting detailed<br />
survey. NHPC is to be associated for further<br />
action, based on survey results. In addition<br />
