NTPC Ltd.

State-owned thermal power major NTPC is hopeful of getting the Centre’s nod for receiving coal linkage from mines of the state government for its proposed Katwa plant. The Coal Minister has agreed to review the proposal of coal linkage from the state government dispensation for the Katwa project.

Earlier, the proposal was scrapped by the Coal Minister Piyush Goyal. The minister said that NTPC was unable to float tender for the Katwa project without this coal linkage.

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.
