The agreement was executed by Sarit Maheshwari, chief executive officer of NGEL, and Dr Manoj Kumar Jhawar, chair and managing director of PTC, in the presence of senior executives from both companies. Following the signing, both sides will undertake detailed assessments to identify suitable projects and contractual structures that meet regulatory and commercial criteria. The process is expected to involve technical due diligence, market analysis and alignment on settlement and scheduling arrangements.
