State owned power company, National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) is planning to lift its power generation capacity to 36,000 MW by March, with the commissioning of two more 660 MW units at Sipat power project. This project is company’s first supercritical plant, which means it is 2% more efficient as compared to other thermal plants.

At present, the company generates over 34,000 MW electricity with 15 coal- based and 7 gas-based power stations, besides 6 joint venture or subsidiary power projects across the country.
