Acquisition of existing power plants serves both
NTPC's commercial interests as well as the interest
of the Indian economy. NTPC has successfully turned
around the performance of four sub-optimally
performing stations (Badarpur, Unchahar, Talcher
and Tanda) over the years. This phenomenal
improvement is nothing short of a miracle.
Case Study 1
Badarpur (705 MW)
The expertise in R&M and performance turnaround
was developed by NTPC with the operational turnaround
of Badarpur TPS through scientifically engineered
R&M initiatives. The PLF of the power station
improved from 31.94% at the time of the takeover to
53.13% for the year 2014-15.
