NTPC Limited (NTPC) has transferred two coal mines, Dulanga in Odisha and Talaipalli in Chhattisgarh, to its wholly owned subsidiary NTPC Mining Limited (NTPC Mining) with effect from first February 2026. The transfer formalises the consolidation of mining assets within the group and follows an earlier schedule that listed the transfer as taking effect on 31 January 2026. The change brings direct operational responsibility for the mines under NTPC Mining.

The move is intended to optimise coal supply chains and support power generation efficiency across the group. It also aims to strengthen subsidiary operations and create clearer governance for mining activities. NTPC has positioned the transfer as part of a longer term strategy to align resource management with its generation requirements.

Dulanga and Talaipalli will be operated under the management and protocols of NTPC Mining, which will assume responsibilities for extraction, logistics and regulatory compliance. The transfer is expected to streamline decision making related to mine planning and coal dispatch, and to centralise oversight of mine safety and environmental adherence. Operational timelines and staff allocations will be adjusted under the subsidiary’s management framework.

NTPC has been expanding its operations across coal mining, renewable energy and power infrastructure to meet India’s growing energy demand. As India’s largest power utility company, NTPC has emphasised integrated approaches to secure fuel availability and support reliable supply to its generation fleet. The subsidiary model is presented as a mechanism to enhance operational focus and accountability.

Stakeholders within the company and relevant regulatory authorities will oversee the transition to ensure continuity of supply and adherence to statutory obligations. The consolidation is expected to provide clarity for contractual arrangements and to support efficient coordination between mining and generation divisions. Further operational updates are to be provided by the company as the transition is implemented.
