We consider quasiparticles of a clean d-wave superconductor in the vortex lattice state. For vortex lattices that are inversion symmetric, the quasiparticle bands are found to have a Dirac cone dispersion at zero energy, within the linearized approximation. Upon going beyond the linearized approximation by including the effect of the smaller curvature terms, the Dirac cone dispersions acquire a small gap that scales linearly with the applied magnetic field (approximate to0.5 KT-1 in YBa2Cu3O6.9). When the chemical potential for quasiparticles lies within the gap, quantization of the thermal Hall conductivity, kappa (xy)/T = n(pi (2)k(B)(2)/3h), with n = +/-2, 0, is predicted at low temperatures.
