Future Goals
The company has also set a serious goal of having 50000 MW of installed capacity by 2012 and 75000 MW by 2017. The company has taken many steps like step-up its recruitment, reviewing feasibilities of various sites for project implementations etc. and has been quite successful till date. NTPC will invest about Rs 20,000 crore to set up a 3,900-megawatt (Mw) coal-based power project in Madhya Pradesh. Company will also start coal production from its captive mine in Jharkhand in 2011–12, for which the company will be investing about Rs 1,800 crorePower Burden
India, as a developing country is characterised by increase in demand for electricity and as of moment the power plants are able to meet only about 60–75% of this demand on an yearly average. The only way to meet the requirement completely is to achieve a rate of power capacity addition (implementing power projects) higher than the rate of demand addition. NTPC strives to achieve this and undoubtedly leads in sharing this burden on the country.NTPC Headquarters
