<p>Geological storage of CO₂ will play a pivotal role in achieving the aspiration of ‘Net-Zero’ by 2070 in India. Due to its large lateral extent, significant thickness and potential to mineralize CO₂ offering permanent sequestration, Deccan basalt stands out as a significant sink. Some of the primary concerns will be to characterize the flow path in basalt and measure storage potential. In general, basalt being a fine-grained rock and exhibiting massive interlocking texture between mineral grains, is devoid of any porosity or permeability. In special circumstances, if the basalt is vesicular or fractured, it might contain a significant flow path for CO₂–water mixture or supercritical CO₂ to flow. Most of the large igneous provinces, including the Deccan Traps, are ornamented with several dyke swarms, providing high permeability linear corridors due to intense fracturing. This study focuses on dykes from the Deccan Volcanic Province of India, estimating their permeability using Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) models and calculating storage potential in three dyke swarms (Pune–Nashik, Nandurbar–Dhule and Pachmarhi). However, dykes to surface contact pose risks of CO₂ leakage. In addition, dykes acting as recharge pathways might potentially lead to groundwater contamination. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the advantages and disadvantages that a dyke swarm will impose in achieving a successful CO₂ mineralization project in a large igneous province like the Deccan Traps.</p>
