India has completed its second geothermal exploration well in Ladakh as it moves toward commissioning its first commercial geothermal power plant, marking a significant step in the country's renewable energy diversification.

If you build drilling, completion, or subsurface characterisation equipment, India just proved the commercial case for geothermal in high-altitude terrain—and it will need to scale fast to hit its targets. This is a new customer base and a proven buyer with government backing.
