State-owned power giant NTPC said its step-down subsidiary NTPC Renewable Energy has begun commercial supply of electricity from a part of the capacity of 75.50 MW out of the 1,255 MW Khavda-I solar PV project in Gujarat.
With this, the total installed and commercial capacity of the NTPC group has become 84,924 MW, a regulatory filing said.
According to the statement, the company informed about the declaration of the commercial operation date of part capacity of 75.50 MW out of 1,255 MW Khavda-I Solar PV Project under CPSU scheme Phase-II Tranche-III in Gujarat of NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd, a step-down subsidiary of NTPC Ltd, through its subsidiary NTPC Green Energy Ltd, from November 19, 2025.
Earlier this week, the company announced its plans to set up nuclear power projects with 700 MW, 1,000 MW and 1,600 MW capacity across various locations in the country, a senior company official said.
NTPC is targeting a 30 per cent share (30 GW) of India’s proposed 100 GW nuclear capacity by 2047.
Industry estimates indicate that a 1-GW nuclear plant requires an investment of Rs 15,000–20,000 crore and typically takes at least three years from concept to commissioning.
As a Maharatna company under the Union Ministry of Power, NTPC has an installed capacity of ~85 GW with diversified energy presence across the entire value chain from conventional and renewable generation to coal mining, power trading, e-mobility, and green hydrogen.
The company aims at achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 and investment in emerging technologies such as nuclear power, battery energy storage, carbon capture, and green chemicals.
