The two sets of projects were approved at a meeting of the board of directors held on 30 March.

NTPC-SAIL Power Company Private (NSPCL), a joint venture between NTPC and Steel Authority of India, is also tendering for the development of a 50MW solar PV project near to the Salem Steel Plant (SSP) in Salem District in the state of Tamil Nadu. Last week also saw a flurry of tender announcements from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) with the country in the midst of a huge rollout of competitive tenders for solar capacity, which is set to continue for several weeks.
