We'd need you to provide the details requested in the Issue template, such as NuGet version, which product you're using, and the exact repro steps.

This is about PowerShell, not NuGet as a product.

@Vishallogin2050 you should look at PowerShell's Install-PackageProvider command. If you have problem with that, I suggest you contact the PowerShell team, as we the NuGet team don't have expertise in PowerShell.

When i run the command Install-Module -Name AzureRM -AllowClobber to install the Azure module , I get the below error :

NuGet provider is required to continue
PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet
provider must be available in 'C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or
'C:\Users\testadmin\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'. You can also install the NuGet provider by
running 'Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet to install
and import the NuGet provider now?

This is running on a Azure VM with default policies. Tried it on some other environments and the issue is the same

I was having the same problem, I think, a fresh Azure VM getting the error for installing the NuGet package provider. Read the link below and tried running this:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

And then you should be able to install the package provider. I hope this works for you as well.
