NLC India has commenced commercial operations of the first unit of its 3 x 660 MW Ghatampur Thermal Power Plant (GTPP) in Uttar Pradesh, developed through Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power (NUPPL), a joint venture with Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (UPRVUNL). The first unit successfully completed its trial operation on December 7, 2024, and started commercial operations on December 12, 2024. This milestone represents the company's first venture into supercritical power generation technology, a major leap in enhancing the company's energy portfolio.
Notably, this 660 MW capacity addition is significant as it marks the first fossil fuel-based Thermal Power Plant commissioned in India in this financial year. This accomplishment reinforces the company's position in the power sector and its ability to execute large-scale projects that contribute to India's energy security and sustainable development goals.
With the commercial operation of the first 660 MW unit of the greenfield Ghatampur Thermal Power Station, the total installed power generation capacity of the company and its group companies has increased from 6,071 MW to 6,731 MW.
