NTPC targets 149 GW capacity by 2032, chairman says
In short
NTPC said it wants to add 58 gigawatts of power capacity and reach 149 gigawatts by 2032. Chairman Gurdeep Singh said this at the KPMG ENRich 2026 event and said the new capacity will come from several sources, including renewables.
This matters for NTPC because it points to a big build-out plan. The reporting does not say how much will come from nuclear power or when each project will start.
What the reporting says
NTPC said it plans to add 58 gigawatts of installed capacity to reach 149 gigawatts by 2032, according to Chairman Gurdeep Singh at the KPMG ENRich 2026 event. The summary says the new capacity will come from multiple sources, including renewables, and that Singh also discussed plans for the nuclear sector. The immediate consequence is a larger long-term investment pipeline, while the exact mix and timing of projects is not stated.
Why it matters
NTPC’s chairman said the company aims to expand installed capacity from 91 GW to 149 GW by 2032, adding 58 GW in total. He said the new capacity will include renewables and also referred to plans in the nuclear sector. The move signals a multi-source expansion strategy, but the reporting does not give project-level details, funding plans, or a timeline for specific assets.
