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.

The first 660 MW unit has already been commissioned and would start selling power from next month. The other two units will be commissioned by March, 2012. 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. It added capacity of about 2,500 MW during 2010-11 by commissioning Dadri (490 MW), Korba (500 MW), Farakka (500 MW), Simhadri (500 MW) and Jhajjar (500 MW) units.

Recently, the company had signed a Joint Venture (JV)  agreement with Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), Sri Lanka for setting up a 500 MW (2 X 250 MW) coal based power station at Sampur, Trincomalee in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka.
