NTPC- The Power Major Organisational Profile National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd. (NTPC) was incorporated in 1975 by an Act of parliament, to supplement the efforts of the states for quicker and greater capacity addition in thermal power generation. Over the last thirty Three years NTPC has grown to become the largest power utility in India with a commissioned generation capacity of 29345 MW (as on 31.03.2008) with 24 power stations geographically spread over the length and breadth of India,

covering portfolios in coal based and combined cycle power plants Besides, being India’s largest power generation utility, NTPC has also grown to become the 6th largest thermal power generator in the world and second most efficient in terms of capacity utilization amongst top 10 utilities in the world. In stride with the changing business environment and to march ahead on its growth path, NTPC has expanded its operations in the area of hydro power and covered substantial ground in the areas of Coal Mining, Oil & Gas value chain, power trading and Distribution. With these forward and backward integration plans, NTPC has been re-christened as “NTPC Limited” since 7th Nov.’05. In 1997,

the Department of Public Enterprises, Government of India granted ‘Navratna’ (Nine Jewels) status with powers of operational autonomy to the board of NTPC with an objective to turn the public sector enterprise into a global giant. This has helped NTPC in speedy implementation of power projects, absorption of new technologies and formation of Joint Ventures in the core generation as well as service businesses. NTPC has drawn an ambitious programme to become a 56000 MW plus company by 2012 and 75000 MW Company by 2017. With a share of 19.8% in the total installed capacity in the country, NTPC’s market share in the country’s power generation was 27.1 % during FY 2007–

08. • NTPC Electric supply Company Limited, (NESCL) a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC was incorporated in Aug 2002 with the objective to acquire, establish & operate Electricity Distribution Network in various circles/cities across India with a clear mission to create a role model in the electricity distribution business by setting new benchmarks. Further the company was also mandated to take up consultancy and other assignments in the area of Electrical Distribution Management system. • Under the programme Rajeev Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY), the GOI has entrusted the responsibilities of taking the turnkey execution of rural electrification Work in the state of Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal covering around 40,000 villages. In addition post award consultancy assignment, for the project monitoring and supervision of quality of work during construction, has also been entrusted in the state of Uttarakhand (13 districts), Madhya Pradesh (44 districts), Karnataka (26 districts). • APDRP (Accelerated Power Development and Reform Program) assignment of Ministry of Power, Government of India allotted to NTPC as lead Advisor cum consultant (AcC) was also assigned to NESCL w.e.f. 1st Jan 2004. NESCL is monitoring, distribution Reform & implementation of APDRP scheme in the states of Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Rajas than, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Kerala • Consultancy services in the area of: • Turnkey execution • Project monitoring,

Quality Assurance and Inspection • Third Party Quality inspection on the behalf of utility. • NESCL is going to form a JVC with Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (KINFRA) for taking up retail distribution of power in the upcoming industrial parks and SEZs in Kerala. • In addition, discussions are being held with various State Governments for participating in the Electricity distribution Business by NESCL in identified circles. NTPC, Anta Rapid industrialisation and growth in agriculture/ domestic consumption of power in the north India was putting lot of strain on power grid. To overcome the gap between supply and demand, NTPC, after dialogue with government of Rajas than and India, agreed to set up Gas Power Station in Rajas than at Anta. The 1000 MW Anta Thermal Power Project is spread over an area of 3,384 acres. The project is constructed at an approximate cost of 35 billon Rupees, financed with debt equity ratio of 70:30. Anta’s journey towards excellence had started from the day of inception. It started with the creation of benchmark in boiler erection and project completion. Today ANTA is one of the best power plants in the country. For the financial year 2004-05, ANTA with a PLF of 92.72 % was ranked 4th in the country within three years of its operation. The turnover of ANTA in the year 2004-05 has grown to the tune of 11.36 billion Rupees. Product and Market: The product of ANTA is Electricity at 400KV, which is supplied to its sole customer - APTransco (Andhra Pradesh State Transmission Company). The coordination for generation scheduling is done by ANTA with the LDC (Load Dispatch Centre) of A Transco located at Hyderabad. In the process of generation of power at ANTA, The raw coal from mines (Mahanadi coal fields) is crushed in Coal Handling plant and supplied to boiler where it is burnt as fuel along with air drawn from atmosphere. Sweet water drawn from external reservoir (Yeleru Reservoir) is treated to generate de-mineralised (DM) water and circulated through the tubes in the boiler. The thermal energy of coal combustion converts the DM water into steam, which drives the turbo generator, creating electric energy. This energy is stepped up to high voltage (400KV) power by generator-transformer and supplied to customer. Seawater drawn from Bay of Bengal is used to cool the de-pressurised steam in the Condenser. The hot seawater from the condenser is cooled in the cooling towers and reused with makeup for evaporation losses. The ash generated out of combustion of coal is collected through ESPs and at the bottom of the Boiler and is discharged to Ash Pond by the Ash Slurry pumps. Dry ash from ESP is transferred to Silos to facilitate utilization. Technology, Equipment and Facilities: ANTA is a coal fired thermal power station operating on modified Rankine Cycle.

The major power generating equipments are of BHEL make. Apart from the state of art technology. ANTA has a idyllic township. “Deepanjalinagar”, the ANTA Township located adjacent to the plant is like a ‘mini India’ where people from various regions and languages live together in harmony. The township is equipped with all modern facilities viz. school, hospital, recreation centre, play grounds, parks, shopping complex, banks, post office, etc. ANTA GAS POWER STATION Anta Gas Power project is a unit of NTPC. It is located at Anta, District Baran in Rajas than, about 55 Kms from Kota on NH 76 and 270 Kms from Jaipur Air port. The total installed capacity of the plant is 419.33MW, consisting of 3X88.71 Gas Turbine + 1X153 Steam Turbine. The fuel Natural Gas is received through HBJ pipeline.

The water required for the plant is drawn from Right Main Canal of river Chambal. Organisational Culture: NTPC For growth of any organization it should have its own mission and vision.
