NTPC hopes to commission Telangana STTP by fiscal year-end

The Telangana Super Thermal Power Plant (STPP) of the National Thermal Power Corporation is (NTPC) likely to be commissioned before the end of the current financial year (2022-23).

The NTPC plant at Ramagundam, which got delayed due to Covid and the re-engineering of the boiler as per new environment norms, among other things, is now in an advanced stage of completion.

The issue was raised in the Lok Sabha last week by several Telangana MPs, who sought reasons for the delay in conducting the trial run of the Telangana STPP Station-I of 800 MW, which was to be conducted in May 2020.

Union Minister of State for Power and Renewable Energy R K Singh said the first phase of the Telangana STPP (2×800 MW) had been delayed by 31 months.

The actual expenditure incurred and accrued to date was within the approved project cost of Rs 109.98 billion, he added. Singh further said that the first unit of the project was in an advanced stage of commissioning and after the completion of steam blowing and related advanced commissioning activities, the process will be authorised likely by the end of this fiscal year. The Centre had promised to establish a 4,000 MW (5x800 MW) supercritical thermal power plant at Ramagundam under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.
