IN A move that will further strengthen
the power generation capacity of the National Thermal Power
Corporation Limited (NTPC), the power giant has agreed to set up a
4,000 Megawatt power plant at Ramagundam in Telangana adjacent...
to its
existing units, an official press release said in Hyderabad on July 8.
India's youngest state Telangana's
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has assured NTPC chairman and
managing director Arup Roy Choudhury, who called on him, that he
would take up with the central government coal linkage for the
project.
"The chief minister agreed to
provide the required land from the available land or by acquiring
land from Singareni Collieries Company," said a statement from
the Chief Minister's Office.
The NTPC chairman said that the work on
the project will commence immediately and the first unit will be
completed within 39 months.
The Telangana government will obtain
necessary environmental clearances for the project.
NTPC, a Maharatna PSU, was set up in
1975 to accelerate power development in India. The PSU is emerging as
an ‘Integrated Power Major’, with a significant presence in the
entire value chain of power generation business. With a current
generating capacity of 43,019 MW, the power house plans to become a
128,000-MW company by 2032. Presently engaged in power generation
from coal and gas, NTPC has of late diversified into hydro power,
coal mining, power equipment manufacturing, oil & gas
exploration, power trading & distribution. With an increasing
presence in the power value chain, NTPC is well on its way to
becoming an “Integrated Power Major.”
