Shri Shivraj Singh Chauhan granted the letter of award on Wednesday to Shajapur, Agar and Neemuch Solar Park with a 1500 MW capacity at Bhopal. State discoms and Railways will acquire power from these plants.

NTPC intends to reach 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 from the present 4GW and fund Rs 1 trillion between 2019 and 2024 to become a 130 GW power generator by 2032.

NTPC Group recorded a $1.85 billion net profit in FY21. It has also declared its objective of a 10% decrease in net energy intensity as part of its energy compact aims. The public sector unit has an established capacity of about 67 GW across 70 power plants and 18 GW under construction.
