BF-NTPC was incorporated on June 19, 2008 with an aim of taking up manufacturing of casting, forgings, fittings and high pressure piping required for power and other industries.
As BF-NTPC has not commenced any business yet, both JV partners have decided to close down the company, it added.
Bharat Forge is the majority partner in the JV.
