In a formal announcement made on Monday, the state-run power major NTPC Group announced that, with the successful trial operations of the second 800 MW unit at Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (PVUNL) in Jharkhand, the company’s installed power generation capacity has surpassed 90 GW.
Another step toward improving India’s energy security and sustainable power infrastructure, this milestone solidifies NTPC’s position as the country’s leading power producer.
The joint venture PVUNL was established in October 2015 and is owned by Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (26%) and an NTPC subsidiary (74%). With the use of cutting-edge technology and effective use of available resources, this project aims to provide power that is both affordable and environmentally friendly. It consists of three 800 MW units.
Now that the project has reached commissioning, NTPC Group operates a total of over 90 GW of installed capacity across the country, with an additional 32 GW in the works.
With 60 GW coming from renewable sources, the company aims to reach 149 GW of total installed capacity by 2032.
In FY26, NTPC furthered its shift toward a diverse and low-carbon energy mix by adding 5,488 MW of renewable capacity through solar, wind, and pumped storage projects, further bolstering its clean energy portfolio.
Electricity can be reliably and affordably supplied across India by NTPC’s power portfolio, which includes thermal, hydro, solar, and wind generation.
In order to ensure its continued success in the future, the company has diversified into new areas of energy including electric mobility, battery storage, waste-to-energy, nuclear power, green hydrogen solutions, and pumped hydro storage.
For the fiscal year ending in December of 2026, NTPC’s consolidated net profit increased by more than 8% to Rs 5,489 crore, up from Rs 5,063 crore in the same period the previous year. In addition, the power giant declared a second interim dividend of 2.75 rupees per share.
