NTPC to Add 30 GW Coal Power via Brownfield Expansion by FY32

NTPC Ltd, India’s largest power generator, will add thirty gigawatts of coal-based thermal capacity by financial year 2032, increasing its earlier target of twenty-six gigawatts. All additions will be through brownfield expansion of existing thermal units. India’s peak power demand is expected to reach two hundred and seventy gigawatts in 2025. Coal-based generation currently supplies over seventy-five per cent of this demand, with NTPC contributing nearly seventy per cent of the country’s total electricity. The expansion includes new units at Barh (six hundred megawatts), North Karanpura (six hundred megawatts), and Patratu (one thousand six hundred megawatts). It also includes the Khurja thermal power plant (one thousand three hundred and twenty megawatts) operated by THDC, where NTPC holds a majority stake.

In FY25, NTPC plans to add three point six gigawatts of thermal capacity and award eight gigawatts for upcoming construction. Only Tanda (four hundred megawatts) is slated for retirement by the decade’s end.

The company is also targeting sixty gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by FY32, aiming to add five gigawatts this fiscal after installing three point nine gigawatts last year.
