New Delhi – The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved a significant enhancement in the financial powers of NTPC Limited. The decision allows the Maharatna PSU to invest up to ₹20,000 crore – well beyond the earlier limit of ₹7,500 crore – in its renewable energy arms, a major step toward achieving India’s 2032 target of 60 GW renewable capacity.

Higher Investment Cap for NTPC Green Expansion

Under the new approval, NTPC can now channel higher investments into its subsidiary, NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL). In turn, NGEL can invest in NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NREL) and other joint ventures or subsidiaries. This enhanced delegation will fast-track renewable energy (RE) capacity additions and bolster India’s mission for sustainable power infrastructure.

The move is set to accelerate the rollout of clean energy projects across the country and ensure the availability of reliable, round-the-clock electricity. It will also contribute to strengthening the national grid and enhancing energy access in underserved regions.

Boost to Employment and Local Economies

The expanded investments will create significant employment opportunities – both direct and indirect – during the construction and operations & maintenance phases of RE projects. These developments are expected to benefit local communities by supporting local suppliers, MSMEs, and entrepreneurship initiatives. Overall, it marks a push for inclusive socio-economic growth alongside sustainable development.

“This enhanced delegation will facilitate accelerated development of renewable energy projects, strengthen India’s power infrastructure, and contribute to the vision of providing reliable, round-the-clock electricity access nationwide,” a government statement said.

Supporting India’s Clean Energy Milestones

India has already surpassed a major climate goal by achieving 50% of its installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources – five years ahead of the deadline set in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. With a national ambition of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, NTPC’s new mandate will contribute substantially toward this effort.

As India’s largest power utility and a key Central Public Sector Enterprise, NTPC plans to add 60 GW of renewable capacity by 2032. This investment boost aligns with India’s long-term target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

NGEL: The Green Energy Flagbearer

NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a listed subsidiary of NTPC Group, leads the conglomerate’s green energy initiatives. It has adopted both organic and inorganic strategies for capacity addition. The organic growth will largely be driven through NGEL’s wholly owned subsidiary, NREL.

NGEL has formed strategic partnerships with various state governments and Central PSUs to facilitate renewable energy development. It currently holds a robust green energy portfolio of approximately 32 GW, which includes around 6 GW of operational projects, 17 GW of awarded or contracted capacity, and a pipeline of 9 GW in development.

This move by the Cabinet is seen as a pivotal enabler for India’s energy transition and a strong signal of the government’s commitment to sustainable development.
