Tapping Clean, Green Energy

Our responsibilities towards generating more clean energy and our business sense have propelled us to diversify into wind and hydro power. The wind power sector in India has the fourth largest installed capacity in the world and is the wind power leader in the developing world. To contribute to this sector, NPCIL initiated the operation of a 10 MWe wind farm at Kundankulam in Tamil Nadu, on 19th January 2007. NPCIL is working towards expanding this capacity.
