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.
Badarpur(705MW)
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.
