NTPC plans to be 75 GW company by 2017

NTPC plans to become a 75-GW company by 2017 and with an installed capacity of 128 GW by 2032. It also eyes a well diversified fuel mix comprising 56 per cent coal, 16 per cent gas, 11 percent nuclear energy, 9 percent renewable energy and 8 per cent hydro power-based capacity.

Construction work on 39 units totaling 15,740 Mw at 15 project locations is in progress. NTPC is also pursuing other new projects beyond the 12th Plan and the same are under various stages of planning, clearances and approvals, they said.

The company has prepared its corporate plan 2010-32, which lays the broad road map for its growth for the period. By the year 2032, 28 percent of NTPC's installed generating capacity will be based on carbon-free energy sources. The coal-based capacity will increasingly be based on high-efficient-low-emission technologies such as super-critical and ultra-super-critical.
