In August 2022, NLC India signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL). The MoU intends to expand its operations in the north-east region of India. NLCIL, under the administrative control of the Ministry of Coal, and APDCL, wholly owned by the Government of Assam, have decided to form a joint venture company with 51 percent equity participation by NLCIL and remaining by APDCL.
