Power Burden
India, as a developing country is characterised by increase in demand for electricity and as of moment the power plants are able to meet only about 6075% of this demand on an yearly average. The only way to meet the requirement completely is to achieve a rate of power capacity addition (implementing power projects) higher than the rate of demand addition. NTPC strives to achieve this and undoubtedly leads in sharing this burden on the country.
