Public sector NLC India Ltd, formerly Neyveli Lignite Corporation Ltd, on Wednesday said it has surpassed the 1 GW installed renewable energy capacity at its facility.
The Tamil Nadu-based 'Navratna' company under the Ministry of Coal had a present mining capacity of 30.6 million tonne of lignite per annum.
The present power generation capacity, including that of its joint venture with TANGEDCO, is 5,192 MW.

With this, the total installed renewable energy capacity of NLCIL has exceeded 1 GW, the company said.
