India’s largest power generator NTPC (total installed capacity 34.9 GW) has set out ambitious plans to take its capacity to over 128 GW by 2032.
NTPC is currently working on many new projects for rapid capacity addition. The company has 15 coal based and seven gas-based power stations and six joint-venture power projects located across India. It is currently working on projects with a cumulative capacity of 40 000 MW, of which 14 000 MW is in various stages of implementation.
An official statement said that these plants generated 220.54 billion units of electricity during 2010-11, contributing more than 27% of total electricity generated in India from about 18% of the country’s total installed capacity. The company also recently tied up a syndicated loan worth INR 2341 crore from a consortium of Indian banks for its 390 MW Muzaffarpur thermal power project in Bihar.
