India’s largest power producer National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd (NTPC) had signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Kerala to develop around 200 MW wind farm projects in the state.

The state-owned power producer wil develop wind power jointly with the state government on a build, own and operate basis.

Out of total 200 MW, the first 80 MW wind turbines projects will be developed on fast track basis at Ramakkalmadu, NTPC said.

Recently, NTPC signed a 12-year term loan agreement for Rs10,000 crore with State Bank of India with 4-year drawdown for financing the capital expenditure of its wind power projects.
