Reinforcing its key role in strengthening India’s energy security and supporting the country’s clean energy transition, the NTPC Group said on Monday that it has crossed 90 gigawatt (GW) of installed power generation capacity.

The milestone was achieved following the successful completion of trial operations of Unit 2 (800 megawatt) of Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (PVUNL), a subsidiary project comprising 3x800 MW units.

This achievement marks another important step towards building a sustainable and energy-secure future for India.

Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam was incorporated on October 15, 2015. It is a joint venture between a subsidiary of NTPC, which holds a 74 per cent stake, and Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam, which holds the remaining 26 per cent stake.

PVUNL is committed to providing reliable and affordable power in an efficient and environment-friendly manner through adoption of new technologies and optimal utilization of resources.

With this addition, NTPC Group now operates more than 90 GW of installed capacity across the country. The company also has around 32 GW of capacity under construction. NTPC has set a target of achieving 149 GW total installed capacity by 2032, including 60 GW from renewable energy sources.

In its continuous efforts to boost renewable energy footprints, NTPC added 5,488 MW of renewable capacity in FY26 across solar, wind, and Pumped Storage Projects (PSP), accelerating its momentum to the journey of Viksit Bharat.
