NLC India has started biomass co-firing in its coal-based thermal power station NLC Tamilnadu Power (NTPL) at Tuticorin on December 5, 2023. NTPL is a joint venture company of NLC India and TANGEDCO (Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Company). This step is set to reduce the coal consumption partially and utilises the waste biomass in a useful means. The stubble waste which would have been burnt without any usage is being pelletised and blended with coal for combustion in power station.
NLC India is engaged in the business of lignite mining and power generation.
