NTPC considering back-up plan to avoid slippages in capacity addition targets

23 Aug 2011 Evaluate

NTPC, India's largest power generator is considering a back-up plan to stay away from slippages in capacity addition targets as some of its proposed new projects face obstacles such as gas shortage and legal tussles over tenders. The company is going to comply with both, capacity addition target and the capex.

In the five years period India's target of adding 100,000 megawatts in the 12th plan will required NTPC’s additional capacity, because the NTPC’s utility aims to add 25,000-30,000 mw of capacity, accounting for 30% of India's target.  NTPC is exploring the option of expanding its power plants in case the plans to set up new projects fail. NTPC had floated tenders for 20 supercritical unit’s worth around Rs 40,000 crore. It first invited bids for 11 boilers and turbines, and later for supply of nine boilers and turbine generators sets.
