NTPC Ltd.

NTPC Ltd has hinted that its 500-MW unit II of phase II of 1000-MW thermal power plant coming up at Simhadri in Andhra Pradesh, is poised for trial runs in the later part of this month. This will immensely benefit the power-starved State, which is facing acute shortage of power in recent times, with industries faced with two-day power holidays. The State plans to harness its potential till it is fully synchronised to produce all of 500 MW.
