NTPC Limited has invited Expressions of Interest (EoI) from commercial and industrial (C&I) entities willing to invest 26% equity in proposed co-generation projects aimed at meeting industrial requirements for electricity and steam.

The initiative seeks to develop co-generation facilities and explore integrated power supply solutions using coal, renewable energy, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The proposed projects are intended to address industries’ growing requirements for reliable and cost-effective energy while supporting energy efficiency and sustainability objectives.

Co-generation, which involves the simultaneous production of electricity and useful thermal energy, can help industries improve overall energy efficiency by meeting their power and steam requirements through an integrated system. NTPC aims to explore long-term power supply arrangements that offer industrial consumers greater energy security, cost optimisation, and operational reliability.

Through this initiative, the company intends to expand its energy solutions portfolio and strengthen partnerships with industrial consumers. The approach is aligned with the growing demand for integrated energy solutions as businesses focus on managing energy costs and improving sustainability.

NTPC is India’s largest integrated power utility, with an installed capacity of more than 91 GW and over 35 GW under construction. The company aims to achieve a total installed capacity of 149 GW by 2032, including 60 GW from renewable energy sources.

Beyond conventional power generation, NTPC is also expanding into emerging areas such as energy storage, electric mobility, waste-to-energy, nuclear power, and green hydrogen.

The proposed co-generation initiative represents another step in NTPC’s efforts to develop diversified energy solutions for industrial customers while supporting India’s broader energy transition.

ThunderPlus, an electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure company, has installed Hyderabad’s first public EV charging facility within a hospital campus at AIG Hospital, Gachibowli. The initiative brings EV charging infrastructure into a healthcare environment, making charging more accessible to hospital staff, visitors and EV users in the surrounding area.

The charging facility features a 60 kW DC fast charger and a 7.4 kW AC charger, providing users with different charging options based on their requirements. The DC fast charger can enable charging in approximately 30–45 minutes, while the AC charger is suited for longer-duration charging.

The facility is accessible to doctors, nurses, hospital staff, visitors and members of the general public. By integrating EV charging into a hospital campus, the initiative addresses the growing need for convenient charging infrastructure at locations where people spend considerable amounts of time.

Raj Kumar Medimi, Director, ThunderPlus, said, “Healthcare facilities are among the most essential and frequently visited spaces in any city, with doctors, medical staff, patients, attendants and visitors spending significant amounts of time on hospital campuses. Integrating EV charging within such environments can therefore address both mobility and convenience needs while supporting the healthcare sector’s broader transition towards more sustainable infrastructure. Our installation at AIG Hospital reflects how healthcare campuses can become an important part of the EV charging ecosystem, enabling people to charge their vehicles during their hospital visits and work hours. We believe such integrations can help create more sustainable and future-ready healthcare environments as electric mobility adoption continues to grow.”

The installation also reflects the growing intersection between sustainable mobility and healthcare infrastructure. Hospitals and healthcare campuses are high-footfall environments, making them relevant locations for expanding access to EV charging while supporting the broader transition towards cleaner modes of transportation.

For healthcare professionals and hospital staff working extended shifts, on-site charging can provide an added layer of convenience by allowing them to charge their vehicles during their time at the hospital. For visitors and members of the public, the facility adds another charging point to Hyderabad’s expanding EV ecosystem.

The development is part of ThunderPlus’ broader effort to expand EV charging infrastructure across everyday-use locations and support the growing adoption of electric mobility in India.

With charging infrastructure increasingly becoming an important factor in EV adoption, locations such as hospitals, workplaces, retail spaces, highways and public facilities can play a key role in making charging more accessible and convenient for users.

Premier Energies Limited, has received orders aggregating to ₹4,001 crores in the July–September quarter. These orders, coming from a mix of major power producers, module manufacturers, EPC companies and other customers, are for a mix of solar cell and module supplies (total 2,308 MW) and EPC project execution. The orders exclude orders received from the retail market segment.

The strong order inflow supports the company’s growth as it continues to expand its manufacturing capabilities – total module manufacturing capacity has nearly doubled recently to 11.1 GW, while the solar cell manufacturing capacity has increased from 3.6 GW to 10.6 GW following the commissioning of a 7 GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing facility last month at Naidupeta, Andhra Pradesh.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Chiranjeev Saluja, Managing Director, Premier Energies, said: “Our growing order book is a strong validation of our growth strategy and execution ability. The Indian solar market is extremely demanding with customers looking for scale, bankability and latest technology. As India’s largest integrated solar manufacturer, we are ready to serve needs of customers across market segments.”
