NTPC Ltd.

NTPC has commissioned India’s first Air cooled condenser installed at North Karanpura Super Critical plant to demonstrate its commitment towards water conservation through reduce, reuse and recycle. NTPC has started commercial operation of 1st Unit of 660 MW at North Karanpura (3x660 MW), in Jharkhand on March 01, 2023.

This project has been envisaged with Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) which has almost 1/3rd water footprint as compared to a conventional Water Cooled Condenser (WCC). This would result in water saving of around 30.5 mcm annually thus fulfilling the needs of around 1.5 million people in the region annually.

NTPC is the largest power utility company in India and has presence in Coal, Gas, Solar PV, Hydro and Wind Power Generation and Coal Mining.
