"NTPC REL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NGEL which in turn is a subsidiary of NTPC Limited, received Letter of Acceptance for 500 MW RE-RTC power from REMCL," it said.
The capacity has been won in a competitive bidding process for a total 900 MW RE-RTC on offer, NTPC said, adding a power purchase agreement will be signed with Indian Railways for 25 years.
Through a combination of solar and wind power, the project would supply round-the-clock green energy to REMCL.
NTPC, under the Ministry of Power, is the country's largest power producing company.
