NLC India (NLCIL) has transformed itself to an energy major with its business ventures into Coal Mining, Coal based Power Generation and Generation of Power from renewable (Solar and Wind) in a big way. Now, as a part of its business promotion and diversification plan NLCIL has joined the league of Accredited Power Traders in the country with CERC granting it Category I Licence for power trading.

NLCIL took up to trading of Un-Requisitioned Surplus Power (URS) in the year 2016 through NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) and earned a revenue of Rs 134 crore from power trading in the year 2016-17 which went up to Rs 294 crore in the year 2017-18. Now NLCIL will take up trading of power in power market as an independent power trader. It plans to carry out the trading activity through an exclusively power trading arm for trading power by procuring power from other GENCOS through bilateral agreements.

The trading of surplus power in the market will pave the way for effective utilisation of generating capacity of GENCOS by catering to needy procurers by utilising the surrendered/surplus power which otherwise would have gone waste. The trading licence in favour of NLCIL now strengthens the company's endeavour to contribute to the Nation's Growth by facilitating efficient usage of power.

NLC India is engaged in the business of lignite mining and power generation. At present, the company has four opencast lignite mines.
