India’s largest power producer, NTPC, has signed an agreement with Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) to advance its transition to clean energy, supporting the country’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. This collaboration marks a significant step in aligning national energy strategies with climate commitments and long-term sustainability.
Under the agreement, SEforALL will assist NTPC in creating a comprehensive energy transition roadmap. The roadmap will model short-, mid-, and long-term scenarios to guide the company’s shift from conventional to renewable energy. It will also identify required investments, diversification opportunities, and the socio-economic benefits associated with a cleaner energy future, while maintaining India’s energy security and development priorities.
“Our aim is to foster responsible, sustainable economic development through an energy strategy that champions energy security, social inclusiveness, environmental stewardship, and growth powered by data, technology, and innovation. This agreement positions us to meet the rising demand from communities and industry while keeping us at the leading edge of the energy transition.” Gurdeep Singh, Chairman and Managing Director, NTPC
“India continues to show climate leadership on the global stage moving beyond commitment to concrete actions while demonstrating that the energy transition in emerging countries can co-exist alongside economic development. We are excited to support NTPC to co-create net zero roadmap for the energy giant of India. I laud NTPC for its commitment to transitioning to cleaner energy sources.” Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO and Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All.
NTPC is already leading innovation in clean energy deployment across India. Its initiatives include green hydrogen pilot projects, floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), pumped storage hydropower, and carbon capture and utilization (CCU).
