NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd. is establishing two waste-to-charcoal plants in Haryana, specifically in the districts of Gurugram and Faridabad. These plants, costing ₹500 crore each, will convert 1,500 tonnes of daily waste into charcoal using indigenous technology. This initiative aims to support the Swachh Bharat campaign, enhance urban cleanliness, and promote environmental sustainability. The green coal plants will be the largest in India, surpassing the current facility in Varanasi, and are expected to be completed in about 30 months.
