NTPC Becomes First PSU to Achieve Global Standard for Power Supply Continuity

NTPC Limited, the nation's largest electricity producer, has achieved a major milestone by being the first public sector company in India’s power sector to roll out a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in line with ISO 22301:2019 standards, as per news reports. The move is aimed at safeguarding uninterrupted electricity production and supply during unforeseen challenges.

Strategic Initiative to Ensure Uninterrupted Power

As per news reports, in a statement released by NTPC, NTPC confirmed that the newly introduced framework will reinforce its preparedness to deliver consistent power output, regardless of disruptions. “This strategic initiative strengthens NTPC’s ability to ensure uninterrupted power generation and supply under all circumstances,” the company stated.

A Business Continuity Plan serves as a structured approach to anticipate, respond to, and recover from unexpected events such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, supply chain bottlenecks, or equipment failures. The ISO 22301:2019 framework is the globally recognised standard for such systems, focusing on prevention, readiness, coordinated response, and continuous enhancement.

Global Standards Adoption For Resilience 

As per reports, NTPC has emphasised that its framework is developed “in alignment with global best practices and tailored to NTPC’s expansive operational footprint”. The BCP includes regular risk assessments, disaster recovery drills, backup communication systems, and coordinated response protocols. 

It also provides mechanisms for ongoing review to address emerging risks in the fast-changing energy sector. “The BCP includes mechanisms for continuous review and improvement to address emerging risks,” the company added.

The adoption of the plan has made NTPC the first PSU in India’s power sector to implement an ISO-compliant BCMS.
