The lignite bearing area presents basin like structure in Kutch tending on North-Western and South-Eastern directions on the Northern part of the basin, suggesting a post palaeocene erosional structure of basement on which the younger formations have been deposited. In general, the formations show North-Western and South-Eastern strike with gentle and rolling dips towards South-West and West. The lignite seams in the field are inconsistent, irregular and split types. 8 to 9 seams of lignite with thickness ranging from 0.15 to 5.4m are encountered during drilling. Seams are overlain by shales/or clays.
