NLC India, a Navratna public sector company, has unveiled its latest venture into the renewable energy sector. On a mission to bolster India’s green energy capacity, the company has established a wholly-owned subsidiary known as NLC India Green Energy Limited (NIGEL). The subsidiary is set to play a pivotal role in the country’s sustainable energy journey, focusing on the expansion of renewable energy projects and technological innovations.
NIGEL’s Inaugural Board Meeting

During this meeting, key managerial positions were appointed, and the company’s logo was unveiled. This symbolic event marks the commencement of NIGEL’s journey towards fostering a cleaner, greener energy landscape in India.
Embracing Renewable Energy
With environmental sustainability taking center stage on a global scale, NIGEL is geared towards spearheading the renewable energy movement. The company recognizes the urgent need to accelerate renewable power generation, and it aims to do so with unwavering dedication.
NIGEL’s Focus on Renewable Energy (RE) Projects
Chairman Prasanna Kumar Motupalli, the driving force behind NIGEL, emphasized the subsidiary’s commitment to renewable energy projects. NIGEL aims to rapidly increase India’s renewable energy power generation capacity. The chairman’s vision aligns perfectly with the industry’s optimistic climate, which predicts robust growth in renewable energy, including advanced storage systems like pumped hydro systems and battery energy storage systems.
Ambitious Capacity Expansion by 2030
One of NIGEL’s ambitious objectives is to establish renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of 6 GW by 2030. Currently, the company is actively developing projects that collectively contribute 2 GW of power generation capacity across various regions in India. These projects will play a pivotal role in reducing the nation’s carbon footprint and increasing its energy security.
Leveraging the Potential of Battery Energy Storage
