New Delhi, May 19: State-run power major NTPC Group has crossed 90 GW of installed power generation capacity following the successful trial operations of the second 800 MW unit at Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (PVUNL) in Jharkhand, according to an official statement issued on Monday.
The milestone strengthens NTPC’s position as India’s largest power producer and marks another step toward enhancing the country’s energy security and sustainable power infrastructure.
PVUNL, incorporated in October 2015, is a joint venture between an NTPC subsidiary holding a 74 per cent stake and Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited, which owns the remaining 26 per cent. The project comprises three 800 MW units and is focused on delivering affordable and environmentally sustainable power through advanced technologies and efficient resource utilisation.
With the commissioning milestone, NTPC Group now operates more than 90 GW of installed capacity nationwide and has an additional 32 GW under construction.
The company has set an ambitious target of reaching 149 GW of total installed capacity by 2032, including 60 GW from renewable energy sources.
Strengthening its clean energy portfolio, NTPC added 5,488 MW of renewable capacity during FY26 across solar, wind and pumped storage projects, reinforcing its transition toward a diversified and low-carbon energy mix.
NTPC’s power portfolio spans thermal, hydro, solar and wind generation, enabling reliable and cost-effective electricity supply across India.
The company has also expanded into emerging energy segments such as e-mobility, battery storage, pumped hydro storage, waste-to-energy, nuclear power and green hydrogen solutions as part of its long-term growth strategy.
Financially, NTPC reported an over 8 per cent rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 5,489 crore during the October-December quarter of FY26, compared with Rs 5,063 crore in the corresponding period last year. The power major also announced a second interim dividend of Rs 2.75 per share.
