NTPC Limited has announced the uprating of two generating units at the Dadri Thermal Power Station, raising the output of Units five and six from 490 Megawatt (MW) each to 500 MW each, effective seven April 2026. The company informed stock exchanges of the change in accordance with SEBI listing obligations and disclosure requirements. The uprating forms part of ongoing efforts to enhance operational performance across the fleet. The uprating followed approval from the Central Electricity Authority and routine testing to validate performance at the higher output level. With the successful increase in unit output, the NTPC Group's total installed capacity now stands at 89,128 MW while commercial capacity is reported at 88,048 MW. The matter was communicated to BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited as part of regulatory filings. The company secretary and compliance officer conveyed that the development reflects continued focus on improving capacity utilisation. The confirmation emphasised measures to improve capacity utilisation and minimise operational disruption during the uprating process. Uprating existing thermal units is identified by the company as a cost effective route to augment generation without new greenfield construction. The measure is expected to improve the efficiency and output of existing assets and to strengthen supply reliability for distribution networks serving northern states. The Dadri Thermal Power Station is noted as a key hub for power supply in the region. Refraining from building new plants for incremental capacity is presented as a means to contain capital expenditure and shorten lead times. The update underscores a pragmatic approach to meeting rising electricity demand while managing capital expenditure and timelines. NTPC will continue to pursue operational measures that bolster generation capacity and system resilience. The company will report any further material changes to regulators and exchanges in line with applicable standards. Performance will be monitored and reported in subsequent regulatory filings as the units operate at the enhanced output.
