Powering Ahead: NLC India’s Bold Green Leap and Global Mineral Hunt
NLC India’s renewable strategy is anchored in both solar and wind energy, with a special focus on developing large-scale battery storage systems to support grid stability. The move positions the company as a key player in India’s energy transition.
The planned IPO of NLC India Renewables Ltd (NIRL) will play a critical role in raising funds for green projects. The company has already received in-principle approval to invest up to ₹3,720 crore in NIRL, aiming to unlock value and accelerate clean energy initiatives.
The company recently signed a deal with the Telangana government to supply 200 MW of renewable power. Construction of a major project in Gujarat is also underway and expected to be completed within the current fiscal year.
Financially, NLC India remains strong, reporting a consolidated net profit of ₹2,714 crore on a revenue of ₹15,283 crore in the last financial year. This solid performance provides the foundation for its aggressive expansion plans.
With a strong financial base and a clear green vision, NLC India is poised to play a defining role in India’s sustainable energy future and global mineral value chains.
