NTPC invites bids for 26% stake in cogeneration projects
In short
NTPC has asked industrial companies to show interest in taking a 26% stake in its co-generation projects. The plan is to supply steam and electricity using coal, renewable energy, and battery storage systems.
This could help industries get long-term power supplies. The report does not say which companies may bid or where the projects will be.
What the reporting says
NTPC invited expressions of interest from commercial and industrial entities for a 26% equity stake in its co-generation projects. The plan aims to develop facilities that meet industrial steam and electricity needs through integrated solutions using coal, renewable energy and battery energy storage systems. The reporting does not state any bids received, project locations or deal value. The immediate consequence is a search for industrial partners.

NTPC, India’s state-run power company, invited expressions of interest from commercial and industrial entities for a 26% equity stake in co-generation projects. The projects are meant to provide steam and electricity through integrated energy supply solutions that include coal, renewables and BESS.
