Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi dedicated to the nation the NTPC Green Energy Limited’s 300 MW Nokhra Solar Project via video conference. The project, spread over 1,550 acres in Rajasthan’s Bikaner district, is being carried out under the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme (Phase-II) with an investment of Rs. 1,803 crore to provide green power to the state of Telangana.

With a generation capacity of 730 million units per year, this project will not only power over 1.3 lakh households but will also help to reduce 6 lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions each year. The project is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 15 million tonnes over the span of 25 years.

Over 13 lakh solar PV modules have been installed in this project under the flagship Make in India programme, thereby strengthening the Government of India’s resolve of Atmanirbhar Bharat.

As NTPC is actively pursuing a “just transition” by incorporating more and more clean energy into its portfolio, this project will play a key role in reducing carbon emissions, thus contributing to a cleaner and sustainable energy future.

NGEL is a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC and aims to be the flag bearer of NTPC’s Renewable Energy journey, with an operational capacity of over 3.4 GW and 26 GW in pipeline including 7 GW under implementation.

NTPC Limited is India’s largest integrated power utility having 74 GW installed capacity that contributes 25% of total electricity produced in India. By 2032, NTPC is looking to expand its non-fossil-based power capacity to 45%-50% of the company’s portfolio that will include 60 GW renewable energy capacity with a total portfolio of 130 GW. NTPC has partnered with NITI Aayog to strengthen India’s Net Zero efforts.
