26 Mar 2012 Evaluate

NTPC, the country’s largest power producer is generating 10% less electricity due to shortage of fuel. The state-owned company has an installed generation capacity of 36,014 MW, with coal-fired plants alone accounting for 28,195 MW. Last fiscal, the company generated 220.54 billion units, accounting for more than 27% of total electricity generated in the country.

Moreover, the company is aiming a capital expenditure of Rs 20,900 crore for 2012-13 and all the requisite funds have been tied up. For the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-17), the company would be looking at a capital expenditure of Rs 2,15,000. Further, NTPC expects to have a total generation capacity of over 1,28,000 MW by 2032.

Meanwhile, on the back of acute coal shortage impacting the power sector, the government recently has initiated various steps, including announcement from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) last month that Coal India would ink FSAs before March-end, for power plants that have been commissioned up to December last year.
