New Delhi: NLC India Ltd on Tuesday said it has started biomass co-firing in its thermal power plant at Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu. "In a step towards sustainability in thermal power generation...NLC India Ltd (NLCIL) has started biomass co-firing in its coal-based thermal power station NLC Tamilnadu Power Ltd (NTPL) at Tuticorin on December 5, 2023," the company said in a regulatory filing to BSE.

NLCIL Chairman and Managing Director Prasanna Kumar Motupalli stressed the benefits and importance of biomass co-firing in thermal power stations.
