Bimodal (tholeiitic and alkaline) magmatism, based on chemistry of pyroxenes, weas recognized, and geological map of Phenai Mata Igneous Complex was modified. Recognition of mafic magma input in the evolution of S-type Pan-African Champawat granitoids, Kumaun Lesser Himalaya. First report of unmelted surmicaceous enclaves in Chaur granitoids of Himachal Lesser Himalaya. Mafic-felsic magma mingling, mixing and chemical diffusion processes in Copper hosted Malanjkhand pluton, central India were recognized for the first time. Interaction of fractionating mafic and felsic melts in Dongargarh region of Chattisgarh was established Ma thermal events produced series of granite plutons younging from NW to SE along and during the activation of Tyrsad-Barapani lineament of Shillong plateau. Magnetic susceptibility (MS) mapping of Bundelkhand and SHRIMP U-Pb zircon chronology of Bundelkhand massif suggested five pulses of felsic magmatism in the evolution of Bundelkhand craton. Five episode of felsic magmas and re-working of Indian continental crust in their genesis have been recognized from Kameng Corridor of Arunachal Himalya, based on geochemical and U-Pb-Hf zircon chronology of granitoids. Coeval nature of mafic and felsic magmas (ca 1750 Ma) forming the Jhirgadandi pluton of Mohakausha Group, central India, has been recognized based on SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages. Field features demonstrating the mafic-felsic magma mingling, mixing and undercooling in the evolution of subduction-related Ladakh batholith have been documented for the first time. Direct evidence (ca 51 Ma) of India-Asia continental collision has been reported first time based on geochemistry and U-Pb-Hf isotopic studies.

11 Based on U-Pb SHRIMP zircon chronology, four major episodes (ca 1800, 1600, 1400, 500 Ma) of magmatism with an inheritance and recycling of 2.5 Ga Neoarchean crust have been recognized in the evolution of Meghalaya and Mikir Hills of Northeast India.
