Sale of Power by NTPC

Since some of the beneficiary states are not scheduling full power allocated to them, it has affected the generation plan of NTPC. NTPC has to back down its generation because of this.

Backing down details since 2009-10 is given below:

2009-10 -           5.27 Billion Units

2010-11 -           13.23 Billion Units

2011-12 -           11.07 Billion Units (Upto November, 2011)

During the period April-November, 2011, around 11.07 Billion Units could not be generated by NTPC stations on account of low generation schedule by beneficiaries.

NTPC is blending imported coal to mitigate the shortage in domestic coal. The average percentage of blending of imported coal during the year 2010-11 was around 8%.
