NLC India is planning to invest ₹1.25 trillion by 2030 to expand its capacity from the existing 6.7 gigawatt to 20 gigawatt.
NLC India Limited is a government-owned company under the Ministry of Coal, Government of India, primarily engaged in the business of mining and power generation.
The deets: out of the ₹1.25 trillion planned capex, the company will be spending around ₹65,000 crore on renewables and other green initiatives. Around ₹45,000 crores will be earmarked for thermal and around ₹15,000 crores for mining.
The aim is to scale up both renewable and conventional capacity, expanding total power capacity from the current 6.7 GW to 20 GW by 2030.
Why it matters: this aggressive expansion signals NLC’s strategic pivot towards a cleaner, more diversified energy mix while continuing to support India’s base load requirements via thermal power.
It also reinforces the government's ambition to boost domestic power generation and meet growing energy demands through a balanced energy portfolio.
