NHPC, India's largest hydroelectric power producer, is making a move into wind power generation. The company is going to set up a 100 MW wind farm in Kukroo, Madhya Pradesh, central India. Apart from wind power, NHPC is also planning to enter the solar and other non-conventional energy sources market.

NHPC is entering the wind power market through subsidiary Narmada Hydro-electric Development Corporation (NHDC), which is a joint venture between NHPC and the Madhya Pradesh government, with NHPC holding 51% stake.

The Center for Wind Power Technology (CWPT) had invited proposals for establishing a wind energy project in Madhya Pradesh. The investment, however, is in its initial stages and hasn't been finally decided upon yet.
