Powering India’s future with atoms: NTPC vows to erect 30 GW nuclear infrastructure by 2047, as disclosed by Minister Shripad Naik in Parliament. This ambitious pledge supports the broader governmental aim of 100 GW nuclear might, crucial for sustainable growth.
Post-approvals, NTPC launched its nuclear-focused subsidiary, NPUCNL, to orchestrate atomic expansions. This entity will drive projects, blending NTPC’s operational prowess with nuclear expertise.
Spotlight falls on the Anu Shakti-NPCIL JV targeting Banswara’s MBRAPP—a 4×700 MW behemoth. Engineering advances point to first-unit testing in FY 2032-33, enhancing grid reliability amid rising demands.
Proactively, NTPC’s EOIs invite international players for tech infusions and partnerships, accelerating deployment.
Renewables shine too: 359.58 MW solar capacity went live recently in Gujarat-Rajasthan, surpassing 85.5 GW commercial totals. Installed capacity tops 85 GW; 30.90 GW builds on, with 13.3 GW green energy. As India’s power backbone—meeting one-fourth needs—NTPC eyes 60 GW renewables by 2032.
This multi-faceted portfolio—thermal, hydro, solar, wind—delivers resilient, cost-effective power, propelling net-zero trajectories and energy independence.
