NTPC Limited has crossed the 90GW installed power generation capacity mark following the successful trial operations of an 800MW unit at Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (PVUNL), strengthening the company’s position as India’s largest power producer, as per PTI news report.
The latest capacity addition came through Unit 2 of PVUNL, part of a larger 3x800MW thermal power project.
PVUNL was incorporated in October 2015 as a joint venture between NTPC and Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd, with NTPC holding a 74% stake and the state utility owning the remaining 26%.
The company said the milestone represents “another important step” towards building a sustainable and energy-secure future for India.
With the latest addition, NTPC Group’s operational generation capacity has now moved beyond 90GW, while nearly 32GW remains under construction across various projects.
Alongside conventional power generation, NTPC continues accelerating renewable energy investments as part of its long-term capacity strategy.
During FY26, the company added 5,488MW of renewable energy capacity spanning solar, wind and pumped storage projects.
NTPC has set an overall target of reaching 149GW installed capacity by 2032, including 60GW from renewable energy sources.
The company’s energy portfolio currently spans thermal, hydro, solar and wind assets, allowing it to maintain diversified electricity generation capabilities across India.
Apart from utility-scale power generation, NTPC has expanded into multiple emerging energy businesses linked to India’s transition towards cleaner and alternative energy systems.
Its newer focus areas include battery storage, pumped hydro storage, e-mobility, waste-to-energy projects, green hydrogen solutions and nuclear power initiatives.
PVUNL, meanwhile, continues positioning itself around efficient and environmentally conscious operations through the adoption of newer technologies and improved resource utilisation practices.
