Magnetotelluric (MT) data at 24 locations in the Son Narmada region, Central India, were collected across the Tapti North Fault and Son Narmada Fault along the Chinchpada-Godhra profile (220 km). MT impedance tensors were then estimated in the period range 0.001-1,000 s using robust processing codes. The N70°E geo-electric strike direction was obtained by multi-site, multi-frequency analysis. The data were modeled using non-linear conjugate gradient scheme taking both apparent resistivity and phase into account. The two-dimensional MT model obtained (after static shift correction) represents resistive bodies (1,000-3,000 ohm-m) and conductive bodies (<20 ohm-m) in the deep crust. The resistive bodies in the lower crust are interpreted to be granitic intrusive complexes. The conductor on the south of Son Narmada Fault is attributed to the presence of magmatic bodies due to underplating, and the conductor on the north as due to the presence of fluids. The highly resistive (>2,000 ohm-m) upper crust is interpreted to comprise felsic rocks of granitic composition, and the low-resistive (<100 ohm-m) deep crust as being composed of dense mafic granulites. The Domal upwarp structure near Son Narmada Fault, with a thick felsic crust sandwiched between the mafic and intermediate crust, can be explained by underplated sediments/felsic crust which jacked-up the lithounits above.
