Exploring Lignite Potential in Bikaner District (Raj.)

Abstract

Since than the state Department of Mines and Geology has made initials notable andpurposeful strides in establishing sizeable lignite potentials in Kapurdi of Barmer, Merta in Nagaur andGurha and Barsinghsar in Bikaner districts. These lignite deposits forms the basis for creating requiredcapacities of lignite based thermal power in Rajasthan.Besides, more findings of lignite bearing areas byDMGR. E.g.Kuchera, NimbriChandrawat and kasnau-Igyar in Nagaur and Raneri, Vijaisinghpura andGudu in Bikaner districts have kindled new hopes for potentials deposits in the vast target area of NorthWestern part of the state which repain yet unexplored.
