NTPC Ltd is India's largest power company with an installed capacity of 73,824 MW. Initially known as National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd, the company was renamed NTPC Ltd in 2005 with a focus on reflecting the diversification of its business operations beyond thermal power generation.

The public sector undertaking (PSU) contributes nearly 1/4th of the power requirement of the country. The company’s portfolio includes thermal, hydro, solar, and wind power plants.

The Maharatna company owns and operates power stations, including 26 coal-based, 7 gas-based, one Hydro and 15 solar projects.

Business operations

NTPC is a major player in all segments of the power sector. The company’s primary operations include power generation, consultancy, power trading and coal mining.

The PSU forayed into coal mining operations after a joint venture with other state-owned companies in 2009. A joint venture named Coal Ventures Private Limited was formed after Rashtriya Ispat Nigam, Steel Authority of India, Coal India and National Minerals Development Corporation joined hands to establish a separate entity for coal mining operations. NTPC commissioned the country’s largest floating solar plant at Ramagundam in Telangana during FY 2021-22. In addition, two smaller floating solar projects were commissioned at Kawas (23 MW) and Auraiya (20 MW along with a thermal gasification-based Waste to Energy (WtE) plant in Varanasi.

The company acquired Jhabua Power Ltd. (JPL) in July 2022, which included a significant contribution of 1352 MW from renewable sources.

The same year, NTPC set up its first-ever overseas capacity of 660 MW in Bangladesh. It commissioned a blending project that incorporates green hydrogen with PNG (Piped Natural Gas).

NTPC aims for nearly 45-50% of its capacity to come from non-fossil fuels by 2030, with a medium-term target of 60 GW of renewable capacity by 2032. The company plans to become a 130 GW company by 2032.

The PSU aims to turn its thermal plants into chemical complexes for carbon capture and alternate fuel production.
