To finance its capital expenditure on new and ongoing projects, state-owned power producer NTPC intends to raise a term loan in the amount of Rs 62.13 billion in Japanese Yen (JPY) denomination.

For the JPY loan, which will be obtained through external commercial borrowing, the corporation has requested bids.

The deadline for bid submission is March 1, 2023, and proposals will be accepted on that date.

With effect from December 20, 2022, the first part capacity of 100 MW and the second part capacity of 50 MW have already been announced to be in commercial operation.
