New Delhi: NTPC Limited has said that it will form at least 2 international alliances or groups to facilitate clean energy research and promote sustainability in the energy value chain by 2025. The announcement has been made as part of NTPC's energy compact goals declared during the UN High-level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE).
