Abstract

Summary

The aim of this study is to examine Gandhar region in Gujarat, India as a viable site for geothermal development. To determine whether Gandhar has the potential to be an exploitable geothermal hotspot, a thorough gravity and magnetic survey is carried out. The results of the gravity survey show that high-density formation is present, and the magnetic survey also revealed multiple magnetic anomalies. This suggests that there may be a geothermal zone in the Gandhar region’s geological background. The results of this analysis indicate that additional geothermal resource investigation and development are required in the region to properly exploit the geothermal resource of Gandhar.
