The 450 MW hybrid project awarded by NTPC represents a major development in NLCIL’s renewable energy expansion and strengthens its national presence in the green energy sector. It also reflects the company’s focus on innovation and sustainability.

In addition to this, NLCIL is currently working on a 150 MW Wind-Solar Hybrid Project in Gujarat, awarded by SECI. With the new project, NLCIL’s total hybrid energy capacity will rise to 600 MW.
