NTPC Green Energy Ltd (NGEL) has entered a joint venture agreement with the New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Ltd (NREDCAP) to develop 25 GW of renewable energy projects, along with green hydrogen and pumped storage projects in Andhra Pradesh. This initiative is part of a plan to bring in ₹2 lakh crore of investment to the state and create significant employment opportunities. The agreement also includes the development of a green hydrogen hub at Pudimadaka in Andhra Pradesh, aiming to produce 1,500 tonnes of green hydrogen daily. NTPC has been actively engaging in discussions with potential buyers for the green hydrogen produced at the hub, including companies like Toyo Engineering Corp., Getek AS, and Fortescue.

Ltd for renewable energy supply and talks with Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd and Hindalco Industries for green hydrogen supply. These partnerships highlight the growing trend of sustainable energy collaborations in India, showcasing a positive outlook towards green energy development.
