The project uses ultra-supercritical technology with an investment of approximately Rs 8,007 crore, ensuring maximum power generation efficiency while significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
According to the release, this project will supply 85 percent power to Telangana. Its power generation efficiency will be around 42 percent among all NTPC power stations in India. Apart from increasing the power supply in Telangana, the commencement of this project will also help in the goal of 24×7 availability of affordable and high quality power across the country. The foundation stone of this project was also laid by the Prime Minister. The first unit of this project was dedicated to the nation by the Prime Minister on October 3, 2023.
According to the Press Information Bureau, in this program, Prime Minister Modi will also dedicate to the nation Unit-2 (660 MW) of North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project (3×660 MW) located in Jharkhand. The project is equipped with air cooled condenser technology with an investment of approximately Rs 4,609 crore and is set to be India's first supercritical thermal power project. This results in one-third water foot print compared to a conventional water-cooled condenser (WCC). NTPC started commercial operation of Unit-1 of North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project on March 1, 2023.
According to the release, the Prime Minister will dedicate the fly ash based light weight power plant set up with an investment of Rs 51 crore at Sipat Super Thermal Power Station in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. The plant produces energy by combining fly ash with coal and other admixtures using pelletizing and sintering technology to promote bulk fly ash utilization and thereby conserve natural resources and protect the environment.

According to PIB, Prime Minister Modi will dedicate the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) Water to Green Hydrogen plant established at NTPC Netra campus in Greater Noida with an investment of Rs 10 crore. Green hydrogen produced from STP water will help in reducing electricity consumption. On this occasion, the Prime Minister will inaugurate Stage-III of 2X800 MW Singrauli Super Thermal Power Project. Launched in Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh with a total investment of Rs 17,000 crore, the project highlights India's progress towards environmental sustainability and technological innovation.
The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of 4G ethanol plant from flue gas carbon dioxide located at Lara Super Thermal Power Station in Chhattisgarh. This innovative plant with an investment of Rs 294 crore will capture carbon dioxide from waste flue gas to synthesize 4G-Ethanol. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move towards sustainable aviation fuels. The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of the seawater green hydrogen plant located at NTPC Simhadri in Visakhapatnam. The project aims to produce green hydrogen from seawater with an investment of Rs 30 crore, thereby saving energy in the process. The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of fly ash based FALG bulk plant at Korba Super Thermal Power Station in Chhattisgarh. This project will convert fly ash into value added building material – coarse aggregate with an investment of Rs 22 crore, thereby enhancing commitment towards environment protection.
According to the Press Information Bureau, these projects of NTPC will not only utilize India's power infrastructure but will also contribute significantly to employment generation, community development and environmental protection. These projects mark a significant milestone in India's journey towards a greener and more sustainable future with a total investment of Rs 30,023 crore.
