Overview

India’s largest power company, NTPC was set up in 1975 to accelerate power development in India.

NTPC is emerging as a diversified power major with presence in the entire value chain of the power

generation business. Apart from power generation, which is the mainstay of the company, NTPC has

already ventured into consultancy, power trading, ash utilisation and coal mining. NTPC ranked 384th in

the ‘2013, Forbes Global 2000’ ranking of the World’s biggest companies. NTPC became a Maharatna

company in May, 2010, one of the only four companies to be awarded this status. 

The total installed capacity of the company is 43,039 MW (including JVs) with 17 coal based and 7 gas

based stations, located across the country. In addition under JVs, 7 stations are coal based & another

station uses naptha/LNG as fuel and 7 renewable energy projects.  The company has set a target to have

an installed power generating capacity of 1,28,000 MW by the year 2032. The capacity will have a

diversified fuel mix comprising 56% coal, 16% Gas, 11% Nuclear and 17% Renewable Energy

Sources(RES) including hydro. By 2032, non fossil fuel based generation capacity shall make up nearly

28% of NTPC’s portfolio.

NTPC has been operating its plants at high efficiency levels. Although the company has 16% of the total

national capacity, it contributes 25.6% of total power generation due to its focus on high efficiency.

In October 2004, NTPC launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO) consisting of 5.25% as fresh issue and

5.25% as offer for sale by Government of India. NTPC thus became a listed company in November 2004

with the Government holding 89.5% of the equity share capital. In February 2010, the Shareholding of

Government of India was reduced from 89.5% to 84.5% through Further Public Offer. Government of

India has further divested 9.5% shares through OFS route in February 2013. With this, GOI's holding in

NTPC has reduced from 84.5% to 75%. The rest is held by Institutional Investors and the Public.

Diversified Growth

 

As per new corporate plan, NTPC envisages to have an installed capacity of 128 GW by the year 2032

with a well diversified fuel mix comprising 56% coal, 16% gas, 11% nuclear energy, 9% renewable

energy and 8% hydro power based capacity.

As such, by the year 2032, 28% of NTPC’s installed generating capacity will be based on carbon free

energy sources. Further, the coal based capacity will increasingly be based on high-efficient-low-

emission technologies such as Super-critical and Ultra-Super-critical. Along with this growth, NTPC

will utilize a strategic mix of options to ensure fuel security for its fleet of power stations.

Looking at the opportunities coming its way, due to changes in the business environment, NTPC made

changes in its strategy and diversified in the business adjacencies along the energy value chain. In its

pursuit of diversification NTPC has developed strategic alliances and joint ventures with leading national

and international companies. NTPC has also made long strides in developing its Ash Utilization

business.

Hydro Power: In order to give impetus to hydro power growth in the country and to have a

balanced portfolio of power generation, NTPC entered hydro power business with the 800 MW

Koldam hydro project in Himachal Pradesh. Two more projects have also been taken up in

Uttarakhand. A wholly owned subsidiary, NTPC Hydro Ltd., is setting up hydro projects of

capacities up to 250 MW.

Renewable Energy: In order to broad base its fuel mix NTPC has plan of capacity addition of

about 1,000 MW through renewable resources by 2017.

Nuclear Power: A Joint Venture Company "Anushakti Vidhyut Nigam Ltd." has been formed

(with 51% stake of NPCIL and 49% stake of NTPC) for development of nuclear power projects

in the country.

Coal Mining: In a major backward integration move to create fuel security, NTPC has ventured

into coal mining business with an aim to meet about 20% of its coal requirement from its captive

mines by 2017. The Government of India has so far allotted 7 coal blocks to NTPC, including 2

blocks to be developed through joint venture route.

Power Trading: 'NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd.' (NVVN), a wholly owned subsidiary was

created for trading power leading to optimal utilization of NTPC’s assets. It is the second largest

power trading company in the country. In order to facilitate power trading in the country,

‘National Power Exchange Ltd.’, a JV of NTPC, NHPC, PFC and TCS has been formed for

operating a Power Exchange.

Ash Business: NTPC has focused on the utilization of ash generated by its power stations to

convert the challenge of ash disposal into an opportunity. Ash is being used as a raw material

input by cement companies and brick manufacturers. NVVN is engaged in the business of Fly

Ash export and sale to domestic customers. Joint ventures with cement companies are being

planned to set up cement grinding units in the vicinity of NTPC stations.

Power Distribution: ‘NTPC Electric Supply Company Ltd.’ (NESCL), a wholly owned

subsidiary of NTPC, was set up for distribution of power. NESCL is actively engaged in ‘Rajiv

Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana’programme for rural electrification.

Equipment Manufacturing: Enormous growth in power sector necessitates augmentation of

power equipment manufacturing capacity. NTPC has formed JVs with BHEL and Bharat Forge

Ltd. for power plant equipment manufacturing. NTPC has also acquired stake in Transformers

and Electricals Kerala Ltd. (TELK) for manufacturing and repair of transformers.

To broad-base the business and also to ensure growth, diversification in the areas related to NTPC's core

business of power generation such as Hydro power, Distribution, Trading, Coal mining, LNG etc. have

been identified as priority areas.

A.BACKWARD INTEGRATION- COAL MINING

COAL MINING

The policy changes in coal sector provides an opportunity to NTPC to enter captive coal mining

business. Production is expected by 2012 in one coal block already allotted (Pakri Barwadih in the state

of Jharkhand). Five more blocks (~40MTPA) have been allotted to NTPC, including two in JV with CIL.

In addition to development of its own domestic coal mines NTPC is exploring various other options

including acquisition of stake in coal mines abroad for sourcing of thermal coal for addressing fuel

security concerns.
