NTPC Group Tops 88 GW Installed Capacity with 50 MW Wind Project
Overview

NTPC Group has surpassed 88 GW of total installed power capacity with the commissioning of a 50 MW wind project in Gujarat. This latest addition by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy, brings the NTPC Group's commercial capacity to 87,102 MW. The move aligns with NTPC's aggressive renewable energy expansion strategy and its target of achieving 60 GW of renewable capacity by 2032.

NTPC Group Surpasses 88 GW Installed Capacity with New Wind Power Addition

NTPC Group's total installed capacity has reached 88,182 MW, with its commercial capacity at 87,102 MW.
This milestone was achieved with the commissioning of a 50 MW wind power project in Gujarat.

Reader Takeaway: Renewable capacity grows with wind addition; focus shifts to completing remaining project.

What just happened (today’s filing)

NTPC Group has achieved a significant milestone, crossing 88,182 MW in total installed power capacity. This expansion was marked by the declaration of the Commercial Operation Date (COD) for a 50 MW wind power project.

The newly commissioned capacity is part of the 200 MW Dayapar Wind Energy Project Phase-II, located in Gujarat. The project is being developed by NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a step-down subsidiary of NTPC through its green energy arm, NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL).

With this addition, the NTPC Green Energy Group's commercial capacity now stands at 9,201.08 MW (installed) and 9,151.08 MW (commercial).

Why this matters

This commissioning reinforces NTPC's commitment to expanding its renewable energy portfolio amidst India's push for clean energy. It contributes to the nation's overall energy security and NTPC's own ambitious targets for green energy capacity.

The backstory (grounded)

NTPC Limited, India's largest power utility, has been steadily increasing its renewable energy footprint [11, 24]. The company aims to achieve 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, which would represent nearly 45% of its total power generation capacity [6, 25].

NGEL acts as NTPC's primary vehicle for green energy initiatives, pursuing growth both organically and through acquisitions [22, 23]. In recent months, NTPC has commissioned various solar projects across Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh, and also acquired thermal assets to bolster its overall capacity [3, 5, 8, 10, 13]. This latest wind project addition aligns with its strategy of diversifying its renewable sources.

What changes now

  • Shareholders see NTPC's total installed capacity grow, reinforcing its position as India's largest power producer.
  • The renewable energy segment of NTPC's portfolio expands, moving it closer to its 2032 target.
  • The company continues its operational execution in the wind energy sector, specifically in Gujarat.

Risks to watch

While no specific risks were mentioned in the filing or immediately apparent from grounded searches related to this specific project commissioning, ongoing execution of NTPC's large-scale renewable energy targets, including the remaining 150 MW of the Dayapar project, will be key.

Peer comparison

NTPC's overall capacity is vast, but its renewable expansion competes with dedicated green energy players.

  • Adani Green Energy has reported a total operational capacity of 17,238 MW (FY26 YTD), with significant solar and wind components [18].

  • Tata Power Company boasts 26,346 MW total capacity, including 1,221 MW of wind and 4,906 MW of solar power [24].

  • JSW Energy is also expanding its renewable portfolio, focusing on solar, wind, and hydro [24].

  • NTPC's own wind capacity contribution to its total operational capacity was 830 MW as of February 24, 2026, with this new addition increasing that figure [24].

Context metrics (time-bound)


  • As of December 17, 2025, NTPC Group's total installed and commercial capacity reached approximately 85.5 GW, boosted by solar project additions.

  • In February 2026, NTPC Group's total installed capacity rose to 88,132 MW and commercial capacity to 87,052 MW following the acquisition of Sinnar Thermal Power Limited (STPL), a coal-based thermal power plant.

What to track next


  • The commissioning of the remaining 150 MW of the Dayapar Wind Energy Project Phase-II.

  • NTPC's continued progress towards its 60 GW renewable energy target by 2032.

  • Future announcements regarding new wind or solar project completions across its subsidiaries.

  • The overall growth trajectory of NTPC's renewable energy arm, NGEL.
