					</table><p>Indian Oil Corporation (<a href="https://iocl.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IOC</a>) and <a href="https://www.ntpc.co.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NTPC</a> signed an agreement to form a joint venture (JV) company to meet the power requirements of upcoming projects of Indian Oil refineries with renewable power.</p>
<p>To increase the usage and capacity of renewable energy sources in the country, both state-run corporations have teamed up to establish renewable energy-based power projects for Indian Oil Refineries.</p>
<p>&#8220;The current joint venture between the two energy majors for a common purpose is a classic example of teamwork and collaboration for others to follow,&#8221; said Mr. Gurdeep Singh, CMD, NTPC.</p>
<p>NTPC Green Energy (<a href="https://www.ntpc.co.in/en/ntpc-green-energy-limited" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NGEL</a>), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC, will form the JV company to supply round-the-clock renewable power to Indian Oil.</p>
<p>Indian Oil plans to meet the additional power requirement of its refineries using round-the-clock renewable energy up to 650 MW by December 2024 through this JV.</p>
<p>NTPC Green Energy will be an umbrella company for consolidating NTPC&#8217;s total renewable energy businesses.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is indeed a powerful statement, as two fossil fuel giants of the country – Indian Oil &amp; NTPC join hands for changing their path towards green energy,&#8221; said Mr. Shrikant Madhav Vaidya, Chairman, Indian Oil. He added that the two Maharatna PSUs can now leverage their capabilities to push forward the green growth agenda.</p>
<p>In June this year, Indian Oil Corporation <a href="https://mercomindia.com/indian-oil-1-mw-captive-solar-project-jaipur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited</a> bids for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of a 1 MW grid-connected captive solar power project with a net metering facility at its Jaipur terminal in Rajasthan.</p>
<p>In 2020, both NTPC and Indian Oil <a href="https://mercomindia.com/ntpc-indian-oil-set-up/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> a memorandum of understanding with South Delhi Municipal Corporation to develop a demonstration waste-to-energy project at the Okhla landfill site in Delhi. About 17,500 tonnes of refuse-derived fuel will be processed using gasification technology. The gas generation will help import petroleum products and save on precious foreign exchange.</p>
<p>Indian Oil and NTPC have also invited bids to set up green hydrogen generation facilities and fuel stations across the country, respectively.</p>
