In March this year, the Union Cabinet allowed NTPC to invest more than the ceiling of 30 per cent of its net worth in NGEL.

NTPC has an ambitious target of having 60 GW of renewable energy by 2032.

The Union Cabinet also exempted the NGEL's investment in NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd and its other JVs/subsidiaries, subject to a ceiling of 15 per cent of its net worth beyond the monetary ceiling of Rs 5,000 crore to Rs 7,500 crore, towards achieving a target of 60 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by parent NTPC Ltd.
