NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC Limited, is making significant strides in the renewable energy sector. The company recently inked a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) with Mahatma Phule Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Technology Ltd. (MAHAPREIT) to develop 10 GW of Renewable Energy Parks and Projects in Maharashtra or other Indian states. This strategic partnership aligns with NGEL's commitment to expanding its renewable energy footprint and contributing to India's sustainable energy goals.
In addition to the JVA with MAHAPREIT, NGEL has also secured investment approvals for two new superthermal power projects. The Darlipali Super Thermal Power Project, Stage-II (1x800 MW), and the Sipat Super Thermal Power Project, Stage-III (1x800 MW), have been approved by the company's Board of Directors. These projects demonstrate NGEL's continued focus on traditional power generation while also investing in renewable energy.
To further strengthen its financial position and support its growth initiatives, NGEL is planning an Initial Public Offer (IPO). The company has filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), seeking to raise up to Rs 1,00,000 million through the sale of equity shares. The IPO is expected to provide NGEL with the necessary capital to fund its expansion plans and enhance its market presence.
