Cabinet Clears INR 20,000 Cr Green Energy Push by NTPC
With the goal of producing 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, the state-owned National Thermal Power Corporation Limited was given permission to invest INR 20,000 crore by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, which was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Furthermore, the Cabinet granted a unique exemption from the current investment guidelines that apply to Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprises, allowing Neyveli Lignite Corp India Limited (NLCIL) to invest INR 7,000 crore.
The subsidiary NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) will receive the planned investment. After that, NGEL will invest in NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NREL) and its other subsidiaries, going above the INR 7,500 crore previously authorised limit, which has now been raised to INR 20,000 crore.
