  • Power Generation by NTPC

  • Total power generated by NTPC (excluding its Joint Ventures) stations for the year 2010-11 was 2,20,536 Million Units (MUs). During the year 2011-12 (upto 29th February, 2012) the total power generation is 2,01,093 MUs. NTPC’s total Installed capacity as on date is 36,014 MW (including Joint Ventures) and 32,150 MW (excluding Joint Venture).

  • As informed by NTPC, main impediment to produce power more cost effectively is less availability of domestic coal. NTPC is blending about 10% of imported coal to mitigate coal shortage. NTPC has chalked out a long-term technology roadmap to adopt more efficient supercritical technology in majority of its future installations.This information was given by the Minister of State for Power Shri K.C.Venugopal in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
