Indian Council of Medical Research signs MoU with NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam to Boost Solar Power Usage in Health Research Facilities
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) signed an MoU with NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) to install rooftop solar panels across 15 ICMR institutes, boosting sustainable energy usage in healthcare research facilities and aligning with India’s renewable energy goals.
The project will have a combined solar capacity of 4,559 KW and includes a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a fixed solar tariff, ensuring long-term cost efficiency and reducing ICMR’s carbon footprint.
