NTPC, a state-owned power utility, has signed a non-binding Term Sheet with EDF India to jointly develop, own, operate, and maintain pumped storage projects (PSPs). The partnership extends to hydro projects integrated with other renewable energy installations and potential opportunities in the distribution sector.
EDF India is a subsidiary of 脡lectricit茅 de France, a multinational electric utility owned by the French government.
