The MoU signifies a strategic move towards clean energy and diversification, which is positive for the company's future growth and India's energy security.
NTPC Limited has signed a Non-Binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Électricité de France (EDF) on 8th April 2026 to explore cooperation in developing new nuclear power projects in India. This collaboration follows approval from the concerned ministries and departments of the Government of India.
The MoU was signed by Mr Arnada Prasad Samal, CGM (Nuclear Cell), for NTPC, and Mr Vakisasi Ramany, Senior Vice President, International Nuclear Development, for EDF. It sets a framework for both companies to jointly assess the feasibility and approach for collaboration.
Key areas of exploration include understanding EDF’s EPR technology and its suitability for India, maximizing localization for large-scale deployment, examining economic and tariff aspects, developing human resource capabilities through training, evaluating potential project sites, and providing technical support.
This initiative aligns with NTPC’s strategy to expand into clean energy and contribute to India’s long-term energy security. NTPC, India’s largest integrated power utility, currently operates over 89 GW of installed capacity with 32 GW under construction and aims to reach 149 GW by 2032, including 60 GW from renewable energy sources. The company is also venturing into new business areas such as e-mobility, battery storage, and green hydrogen solutions.
