It has also received a letter of intent from the committee of creditors of Lanco Teesta Hydro Power, NHPC said in a regulatory filing.
"...it is to inform that NHPC Ltd has been declared as the successful resolution applicant by the committee of creditors of Lanco Teesta Hydro Power Ltd," said NHPC.
However, it also added that this would be subject to final approval by the National Company Law Tribunal.
