Last month, NHPC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (RVUNL) to develop pumped storage and other renewable energy projects in Rajasthan in joint venture mode. In the first phase, two pumped storage projects (PSPs) of 1,000 MW each are being considered for development.
In April 2025, NHPC announced its plan to develop a 1200 MW solar park in Uttar Pradesh's Jalaun district at an estimated cost of INR 796.96 crore through its JV subsidiary Bundelkhand Saur Urja Ltd.
NHPC aims to achieve a renewable energy capacity of 16,700 MW by 2030 and plans to increase its total installed capacity to 23 GW by 2032 and over 50 GW by 2047.
