The basin occupies an area of 32,000 sq km. It has been appraised to the extent of 32,000 sq km
(100%).

2.3.12 NARMADA BASIN
Narmada is a Category III basin with entirely undiscovered in-place, that calls for intense exploration
for a potential discovery.
The basin overlaps with the state(s) of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Gujarat, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana.

sediments are speculated over the basement
rocks in the basin.
The basin has Pre-Trappean Gondwana play,
which is divided into four assessment units
based on available geological rationales.

Basin is largely covered by Decan trap basalts.
Sub-trappean sediments are the focus area of
exploration.
