Contribution of the NTPC Limited to the country and to the power
sector industry is immense, it accounts for the 28.5% of the total
power generated in the country.
Per capita consumption of the electricity is also very low in India
at 704 Kwh as compare to world average of 2701 Kwh.
Government companies accounts for 90% of the generation as
compared to the 10% share of private sector.
The companies engaged in the generation of power are now
trying their best effort to diversify in the other source of energy
like hydel power, wind power generation, and power generation
from the Renewable sources of energy.
The company is also very much focused on the generation of
green power with the sustainable development policies.
The importance and need of power cannot be ignored as it
directly contributed to the growth of the country and GDP growth.
The importance of environmental protection is also emphasized
by the company engaged in production of power by adopting
various environmental protection policies.

GW Company by 2012 and 75 GW by 2017 and maintaining
leadership.
III. The company must integrate along the value-chain through entry into
coal mining, power equipment manufacturing, power trading, power
distribution and lateral diversification into hydro, renewable and
nuclear.
IV. The Company must impart special thrust on hydro power . Hydro
plants are free of emissions, are excellent for meeting peak demand
and have sound long-term economics.
V. The Company must try to entry into coal mining business as a part of
