NLCIL wins 450 MW wind-solar hybrid power project from NTPC
NLC India Limited (NLCIL) has received a Letter of Award from National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) for the establishment of a 450 MW Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) connected Wind-Solar hybrid power project. This project is part of NTPC's plan to procure 1200 MW hybrid power under a Tariff-based Competitive Bidding Process, with a provision for an additional 600 MW under the Greenshoe option. NLCIL has emerged successful in securing 450 MW contracted capacity, reaffirming its growing role in India's renewable energy transition. According to NLCIL, the hybrid project is designed to ensure a minimum annual Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) of 30% prompting optimal integration of renewable resources while ensuring grid stability and reliability. Under the terms of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), the project is expected to commence power supply within 24 months and will operate for a contractual period of 25 years. NLCIL will also have the option to form a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the project implementation. According to Prasanna Kumar Motupalli, Chairman and Managing Director of NLCIL, 'This significant win from NTPC marks a major milestone in NLCIL's renewable energy journey. The 450 MW hybrid project not only strengthens the company's footprint in green energy but also symbolises our commitment to innovation and sustainability. NLCIL remains firmly aligned with the country's vision for a cleaner, greener future and is confident of delivering high-performance assets that contribute to long-term energy security.

Good news to Gautam Adani from Bangladesh! Rs 37422276500 single largest payment made by…, resolves Adani's power…
Bangladesh made its largest single payment of USD 437 million in June, settling pending dues including carrying costs and power purchase agreement-related charges thereby reaffirming the Indian conglomerate's power asset as a reliable and cost-effective energy source for the country's growing needs, according to a PTI report citing sources. The report further added that Bangladesh has now become regular in its payments. Additionally, a Letter of Credit (LC) covering about two months of billing has been established, along with a sovereign guarantee for all outstanding dues as added security. Since payment-related matters are resolved, Bangladesh has asked Adani Power to supply power from both units as per BPDB (Bangladesh Power Development Board) schedule, they added. Bangladesh Clears Adani Power's Dues Report claimed that Bangladesh has resolved Adani Power's dues, including the carrying cost. Over the last 3-4 months, the country has been paying USD 90-100 million per month, and in June, it paid USD 437 million. The LCs are worth about two months of billing and sovereign guarantee for all dues, as additional security has put Adani in a very comfortable situation. Concerns raised related to investigations into the PPA by the Bangladesh authorities have been resolved, with no adverse aspects found. With all these developments, lenders are confident of improving APL's credit rating to AA+ from the current AA. How Adani Power Supplies Electricity To Bangladesh? Adani Power supplies electricity to Bangladesh from a dedicated 1600 MW plant located in Godda district of Jharkhand, meeting 10 per cent of the country's power demand. The company supplies among the most competitively priced power to Bangladesh, as is evident from BPDB's merit order dispatch data, which is an essential requirement. Bangladesh had in the past struggled to meet its payment obligations under the 2017 deal, as rising import costs following the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022 and domestic political turmoil, which led to the ouster of the prime minister strained the country's finances. As a result, Adani halved its supply last year, and full supplies were resumed in March 2025 after the country's monthly payments started covering some of the dues. PTI sources said over the last three to four months, Bangladesh had started paying USD 90-100 million per month, and in June, the company received the single largest chunk of payment of USD 437 million, thereby clearing all dues. Adani Power's Godda unit was housed under a separate subsidiary, which has now been merged with the parent, providing greater operational and financial synergy. With all these developments, lenders are confident of improving Adani Power's credit rating to AA+ from the current AA, which will further bring down its cost of funds. The current developments vindicate the contract established between the Bangladesh government and Adani Power. The Godda asset is now well integrated into the Bangladesh Power system successfully.

The current developments vindicate the contract established between the Bangladesh government and Adani Power. The Godda asset is now well integrated into the Bangladesh Power system successfully. Under the 2017 deal, Adani Power's Godda power plant in Jharkhand was to supply 100 per cent of the electricity generated from burning coal to Bangladesh for a period of 25 years. After payment defaults, Adani had cut supplies by half in November 2024. It restored full electricity supply, which is around 1,600 MW, in March after the country reduced its liabilities. Bangladesh stepped up repayments from July last year, clearing monthly dues. The development comes after the country suffered from increased power shortages in rural areas. It has been struggling to generate sufficient dollar revenues to cover the cost of essential imports like electricity, coal, and oil. Its foreign currency reserves declined amid months of student-led protests and political unrest, which culminated in the ousting of the Sheikh Hasina government in August 2024. The interim government that succeeded her sought an additional USD 3 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), on top of the existing USD 4.7 billion bailout package. Adani's power deal with Bangladesh was one of many under Sheikh Hasina, which the current interim government has called opaque. Besides Adani Power, other Indian state-owned firms also sell power to Bangladesh, including NTPC Ltd and PTC India Ltd .
