NTPC limited CMD Gurdeep Singh made his maiden visit to the Talcher Kaniha plant on Friday and Saturday.
Singh, who took over the charge of NTPC CMD on April 29, was welcomed by Kaniha Executive Director NK Kothari and other senior officials and representatives of various unions and associations.
Addressing a large gathering of the employees, Singh said it’s a matter of great pride to be associated with the dedicated team of the NTPC. He hoped that the NTPC Kaniha would rank number one power station in the whole country in the next three years. Singh suggested for massive plantation inside the plant campus and its periphery areas and also called upon the employees to focus on low cost power generation and low emission. “Power station efficiency and adhering to safety standards should be the focus. In the coming years, power generation from renewable resources will take a big leap,” he stressed.
later, the CMD visited the Stage-II control room and model room and had an interaction with the senior officials and reviewed the station’s performance.
NTPl RED (ER- II) Arvind Kumar said “The eastern region has been declared as the best performing region in terms of plant load factor (PlF) due to the good performances by Talcher Thermal and Talcher Kaniha power station”.
