India’s largest utility NTPC plans to set up 50MW of solar power projects combined with battery energy storage at Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Despite multi-Gigawatt solar plans, the ability of India’s public sector to compete in the PV market has been called into question by analyst firm Bridge to India.
Indian state-owned power equipment manufacturer Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has bagged an EPC order for 80MW of solar PV capacity in Tamil Nadu and Telangana for mining and power firm Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).
Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC), an Indian state-owned mining and power company, is tendering for 260MW of grid-connected solar PV capacity in two Indian states.
