National Aluminium Company (NALCO) plans to double its wind power generation to 200 MW with an investment of Rs 700 crore.
The company has already floated an open tender seeking expression of interest (EoI) from project developers. The developer will be finalised in a couple of months.
The existing operational capacity of 100 MW wind energy is located in Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.
The Gandikota unit in Andhra Pradesh was commissioned in December 2012 and has 50.4 MW capacity, and the Jaisalmer plant in Rajasthan, commissioned in January last year, has 47.6 MW capacity.
NALCO had clocked Rs 7,024 crore sales turnover in 2013-14. The government of India holds 80.93 per cent equity of the company.
