NTPC Adds 360 MW Solar Capacity, Group Commercial Capacity Tops 85.5 GW
New solar projects in Gujarat and Rajasthan bolster the utility’s renewable portfolio as it steps up its clean energy transition
NTPC has added close to 360 MW of solar power capacity, taking the group’s total commercial capacity to over 85.5 GW, the state-run power producer said on Tuesday.
The latest capacity additions come from solar projects commissioned in Gujarat and Rajasthan. These projects add momentum to NTPC’s expanding renewable energy portfolio at a time when the company is steadily scaling down its reliance on fossil fuels.
With the new commissioning, renewable energy now forms a growing share of NTPC’s overall generation base. The company has set a target of achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, aligning its expansion plans with India’s long-term clean energy and climate commitments.
NTPC remains the country’s largest power generator, with a diversified capacity mix that includes coal, gas, hydro, solar and wind power. The company has indicated that future capacity growth will be driven largely by renewable sources, supported by energy storage solutions and grid-scale infrastructure to ensure reliability and stability.
