State-run power producer NTPC has doubled its renewable energy target for 2032, and now wants to have 60,000 mega-watt (MW) of wind and solar capacity by the end of the target period. Currently, the installed renewable energy capacity of the company is 1,350 MW and by FY24, it intends to add about another 13,000 MW of green power generation base, NTPC’s management informed analysts and investors in a recent conference call.
The company, by name and predominantly a thermal player, had in October, 2020, incorporated NTPC Renewable Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary to focus on its green energy business. When the subsidiary was formed, the 2032 renewable capacity target was 32,000 MW. It could also look at plans for potential spin-offs or the monetisation of its renewable energy subsidiary, the management said.
