Date: 16-09-2014

NTPC, NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam and Solar Energy Corporation of India are set to enter into separate agreements with Andhra Pradesh for setting up of large solar power generation parks of about 1000 MW each.

NTPC is set to enter into an agreement with the State for its long pending 4000 MW thermal power project proposed at Pudimadaka, located close to Visakhapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh. The project has been pending for years as there was no fuel linkage, which is key to implementing the project.

NTPC is the largest power generating company in the country. It has also diversified into hydro power, coal mining, power equipment manufacturing, oil & gas exploration, power trading & distribution.
