The company’s solar projects include both ground-mounted and floating solar installations, adding to its growing energy mix. NTPC has significantly ramped up its power generation capabilities to meet the growing energy demand in the country, the company said in a statement, highlighting its focus on maintaining electricity supply amid rising demand. In addition to meeting immediate power requirements, NTPC has also been investing in cleaner energy technologies, aligning its efforts with the country’s broader goals to reduce carbon emissions. The company’s long-term strategy includes enhancing operational efficiency and expanding its renewable energy portfolio. NTPC's increased power generation comes at a time when India is witnessing peak electricity demand driven by economic growth, industrialisation, and urbanisation.
