On Monday evening with the commissioning of our maiden hydel power project at Himachal Pradesh NTPC has crossed the 44,000 MW mark of power production, by today evening its one more unit is going to be functional. It was informed by the General Manager of North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project Raghavendra Kumar Singh while talking with media men in his local office.
We are fulfilling 28% of the total power demand of the country presently. In 11th five year plan we had successfully crossed the target and now our next ambitious target is to produce 124000 MW power by 2032. We are among the top companies of the world having the pride of getting the title of Maharatna, he added.
Talking about the presence of NTPC in country’s map, Singh said it is unfortunate that Jharkhand is yet not included in it. We are hopeful that by end of 2017 or in the start of 2018 the North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project will start producing power. BHEl has started erection work, acquisition of private land is complete while process is on for government land, Singh informed.
We are going to use new technology in this project in which we will require only 20 cusec water so now there is no need of Garhi Dam which was a main hurdle in this project. He also informed that by new technology we will keep eye on air pollution in 6 km area.
