New Delhi
NTPC Limited, originally incorporated in November 1975 as the National Thermal Power Corporation Private Limited, is India's largest integrated power utility and a central Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) under the Ministry of Power. Headquartered in New Delhi, the company holds the prestigious Maharatna status, with the Government of India maintaining a majority ownership stake of 51.10%. Over the past five decades, NTPC has evolved from a conventional thermal electricity generator into a highly diversified energy conglomerate operating across the entire value chain of the power industry. Under the leadership of Chairman and Managing Director Gurdeep Singh, the corporation plays a pivotal role in fueling India's economic expansion, contributing approximately 24% to 25% of the country's total electricity generation. The core operations of NTPC are structured primarily around two key segments: Generation and Others. In its primary generation business, the group boasts an extensive asset base with a total installed capacity of approximately 89.61 GW. Its vast operational infrastructure comprises 53 power stations, featuring 27 coal-based thermal plants, 7 combined-cycle gas or liquid fuel stations, and an expanding portfolio of hydro, wind, and solar photovoltaic projects. Beyond bulk electricity generation, NTPC is vertically integrated into critical auxiliary sectors. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NTPC Mining Limited (NML), the company operates major captive coal mines across Indian states like Jharkhand, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh to secure its fuel supply. Additionally, the group engages in energy and power trading via subsidiaries like NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited (NVVN), provides engineering consultancy and turnkey project management services, and participates in oil and gas exploration. Financially, NTPC exhibits robust scale and market dominance. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, the company reported a consolidated revenue from operations of INR 1.93 lakh crore (approximately US$20 billion), an operating income of INR 52,822 crore, and a consolidated net income of INR 27,546 crore. The company's total assets stand at INR 5.59 lakh crore, and it is actively traded on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Looking forward, NTPC is driving a massive strategic shift toward sustainability and clean infrastructure to assist India's long-term energy transition. The utility has set an ambitious target to build 60 GW of renewable energy capacity and achieve a 50% non-fossil fuel asset mix by 2032. This green transition is spearheaded by specialized arms such as NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL) and NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPCREL), which focus on large-scale solar parks, wind installations, floating solar systems, green hydrogen blending, and battery storage solutions. Guided by its corporate philosophy of "People Before PLF," NTPC combines engineering excellence with environmental and social initiatives to deliver reliable, affordable, and clean energy nationwide.
