NCRTC Signs Agreement for 110 MW Solar Plant to Power Namo Bharat Corridor
The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has signed a power purchase agreement for a 110 MW solar plant in Jaulan, Uttar Pradesh, to supply nearly 60% of the Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor's electricity needs. Estimated to cost around Rs 450 crore, the plant is expected to be commissioned within 24 months and will provide power at a fixed tariff for 25 years. This initiative aims to reduce operational costs by about 25%, lower dependence on conventional power, and cut annual carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 177,000 tonnes.
