NTPC has geared up to meet the increasing demand and the generation of power from its group stations.

Notably, NTPC has registered a huge 23% growth in demand compared to the previous year- 2020.

Now to meet the increase in demand, following actions have been taken:

• Under flexible utilization of coal policy, NTPC is arranging coal at the stations where the stock position is critical.

• Continuously coordinating with Coal India and Railways for augmenting coal supply at critical stations and diverting rakes wherever required.

• Augmenting 2.7 Lakh MT import coal left out from the contracts placed earlier.

• Darlipalli Unit#2 (800 MW) was put in operation and Commercial operation of the Unit is being done w.e.f 01-09-2021. The plant is a pit-head station, and the coal is being fed from captive mine of NTPC (Dulanga).

• Increasing coal production from all captive mines of NTPC.

The states are also requested to schedule offtake from the gas Stations. In order to plan for making available gas for  generator companies, States are requested to schedule power at least for a week.
