NTPC Ltd.

National Thermal Power Corporation’s (NTPC) joint venture (JV) with Tamil Nadu Electricity Board - Vallur super thermal power project will soon commence operations of its first 500MW project. The project is in advance stage and will shortly contribute to Tamil Nadu grid thereby easing the states power woes.

Around 18% of Tamil Nadu's power requirement is presently been met by NTPC. In view of the power shortage in the state, the chief minister has sought an additional allocation of 100mw from NTPC. The company has an installed capacity of over 36,000mw, accounting for 28% of the electricity generated in the country.

Recently, NTPC had received board’s approval to invest in Kudgi Super Thermal Power Project (3 X 800 MW) to be implemented in the state of Karnataka at an appraised current estimated cost of Rs 15,166.19 crore subject to environmental clearance of Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF).
