NTPC Dadri Thermal Power Station Units 5 & 6 Capacity Uprated to 500 MW Each
NTPC Limited's Dadri Thermal Power Station Units 5 and 6 have had their capacity uprated by the Central Electricity Authority. Each unit's capacity is now 500 MW, an increase from 490 MW, effective April 7, 2026. This brings NTPC group's total installed capacity to 89,128 MW.
The capacity increase is positive but represents a marginal addition to NTPC's already substantial total capacity, hence a medium impact.
The uprating of power units signifies an increase in operational capacity and efficiency, which is a positive development for the company.
