State-run Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) has proposed setting up a 50 MW solar power plant at an estimated cost of about Rs 370.60 crore in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
"We propose to sign an MoU with the administration of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The proposal is still under scrutiny," NLC Chief Engineer (Thermal) S Balasubramani told PTI.
Besides setting up a plant in the Union Territory, the NLC has also proposed to install solar power plants in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana with a total capacity of 4,000 MW, he said.
NLC had set up its first 10 MW solar plant here at a cost of about Rs 74.60 crore in September last year.
