The Peninsular Gneissic Complex are intruded by basic dykes and Quartz Pegmatite Gneissic, basically the dykes are in massive discordant body with North East to South West direction in discontinuous body at surface. General trend of granites is NNW-SSW and which is follows general trend of the Dharwars.

Proterozoic sediments which overlie the rocks of Peninsular Gneisses Complex occupy the eastern and northeastern parts of the regional trend of the Godavari valley. These segments have been classified in to Pakhal Super Group, Penganga and the Sullavai Group.
