Talks on with APIIC to identify suitable site for the project

India’s major power producer National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) has decided to launch a fresh initiative to speed up work for establishing 4,000 MW coal-fired Greenfield power project near Visakhapatnam. Having completed the full design capacity of 2,000 MW with Unit 4 (500 MW) going commercial on September 30, NTPC Simhadri Super Thermal Power Plant at Parawada has no space for further expansion. Hinduja National Power Company Ltd is in advanced stage of commissioning a 1,040 MW power plant at Palavalasa, close to Simhadri.
