==Future goals==
The company has developed a long-term plan to become a 128000 MW company by the year 2032. NTPC Limited is on an expansion spree to meet the power requirements of the country – it has targeted to add 14,058 MW in 12th Plan (from FY13 to FY 17) of which it had already added 4,170 MW in the year 2012–13, 1835 MW in the year 2013-14 1290 MW in the year 2014-15 and 1150 MW from April 2015 to 30 November 2015.

As of 30 November 2015, the company has 23004 MW under construction.
NTPC is diversifying its capacity mix with much emphasis on renewable energy. As on 30 November 2015, NTPC has 110 MW Solar PV capacity under operation, 250 MW under construction, and 1260 MW under tendering. The company intends to add 10000 MW of Solar PV capacity in the next five years. On 18 July 2015, NTPC declared commercial its first Hydro Power plant at Koldam in the State of Himachal Pradesh. The company has a long-term plan to reduce its fossil fuel capacity mix to 56% by 2032.

NTPC also plans to go global. The public sector company has signed a memorandum of agreement with the Government of [[Sri Lanka]] and [[Ceylon Electricity Board]] for setting up a 500 MW (2x250) coal-based thermal power plant in the island nation. An MoU has also been signed with Kyushu Electric Power Co. Inc., [[Japan]], for establishing an alliance for exchange of information and experts from different areas of the business. The company is also in the process of finalizing an MoU with [[Nigeria]] for setting up power plants against the allocation of LNG on a long-term basis for NTPC plants in India. NTPC also developing a joint-venture coal-based power plant 1,320 MW (2x660) with [[Bangladesh Power Development Board]] known as [[Rampal Power Station (Proposed)|Bangladesh India Friendship Power Company]] in [[Rampal Power Station (Proposed)|Rampal]], [[Bangladesh]] which is facing tremendous opposition from the people of [[Bangladesh]] owing to the plant's dangerously close proximity to the Sundarbans.

NTPC has also been allotted coal blocks namely, Pakri Barwadih, Chatti Bariatu and Kerandari in Jharkhand, Talipalli, Chhattisgarh and Dulanga, Odisha. Except for Pakri Barwadih all other blocks were canceled by a decision of the Supreme Court of India on 24 September 2014. However, the company was again allotted canceled block under Section 5 of Coal Mines (Special Provision Act 2015)<ref>[http://www.indiacode.nic.in/acts-in-pdf/2015/201511.pdf 5618GI1.p65]</ref> Besides these blocks, the Ministry of Coal has according to its press release dated 3 July 2013 allotted four more blocks namely, Banai and Bhalmuda in Chhattisgarh, Chandrabila and Kudanli Laburi in Odisha. Two more blocks namely Mandakini- II and Banhardih are expected to be allotted to NTPC soon. All these mines are having estimated geological reserves of 6.7 billion tonnes. NTPC has appointed Mining Cum Development Operator (MDO) for its Pakri Barwadih mine.<ref>[http://www.coalpost.in/thriveni-sainik-appointed-as-mdo-for-ntpcs-pakri-barwadih-coal-block-of-jharkhand/ Thriveni-Sainik appointed as MDO for NTPC's Pakri-Barwadih coal block of Jharkhand * Coal Power Steel]</ref>

==Criticism==
'''Land acquisition in tribal areas''': The company (and other PSUs in India) has been allotted land for setting power plants and related infrastructure in rural/tribal areas across the country by Central Government and various state governments. Some of these lands have been allotted to NTPC (and other PSUs in India) through Land Acquisition Acts passed by Central/State Governments. Wherever a land acquisition law is enacted, it also places a liability on the PSUs/governments to take actions for proper rehabilitation of displaced residents of that rural/tribal area. Governments/PSUs are criticized if they do not fulfill their liability towards displaced residents. In many areas where land acquisition is proposed through land acquisition laws, local residents oppose the forcible acquisition as they are not sure of proper rehabilitation.

'''Future growth''': Draft National Electricity Plan, 2016 prepared by GoI states that India does not need additional coal-fired power plants till 2027 with the commissioning of various coal-based power plants which are presently under construction.<ref>{{cite web| title=Draft National Electricity Plan, 2016, CEA| url=http://www.cea.nic.in/reports/committee/nep/nep_dec.pdf |access-date=11 December 2016 }}</ref> India is no more facing regular power shortages to purchase electricity at high prices offering higher profit margins to the power generating companies. With the help of assured power purchase agreements (PPA) from the state-owned DisComs, earlier NTPC was able to sell its power at higher margins on the deployed capital and higher overhead costs. Moreover, its main expertise of generating power from coal-fired stations is becoming obsolete in terms of technology and economics against non-conventional power generation like wind, solar, etc.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/energy/power/ntpc-may-drop-further-expansion-plans-of-kudgi-thermal-project-in-karnataka/articleshow/57859308.cms |title= NTPC may drop further expansion plans of Kudgi thermal project in Karnataka|newspaper= The Economic Times|access-date=28 March 2016}}</ref> In future, for the satisfactory growth mainly from wind and solar power projects, NTPC shall be ready to slash all its extra profit margins on capital deployed to bring down the power sale price at par with the IPPs to secure the projects in open competitive bidding.

Government has decided to scrap the coal fired power stations which are more than 25 years old to reduce the pollution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/power/ntpc-to-phase-out-11000-mw-old-power-plants-in-five-years-piyush-goyal/55983681| title=NTPC to phase out 11000 MW old power plants in five years - Piyush Goyal|access-date=26 February 2017}}</ref> Instead of scrapping old pulverised coal fired units, NTPC should replace coal with [[Torrefaction|torrefied]] crops waste/biomass as fuel in these units (nearly 11,000 MW) to make them profitable and productive assets without contributing to pollution.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biomasscofiring.ca/images/stories/PDFs/WoodPelletCo-firingOverviewFutureMetrics.pdf|title=Overview of Wood Pellet Co-firing|access-date=26 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170227062520/http://www.biomasscofiring.ca/images/stories/PDFs/WoodPelletCo-firingOverviewFutureMetrics.pdf|archive-date=27 February 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

To utilize its proven O&M expertise, NTPC may venture on a major scale to implement the [[concentrated solar power|solar thermal storage power]] as they can offer clean and cheaper electricity than fossil fuel-fired power generation plants<ref>{{cite web |url=http://helioscsp.com/dispatchable-solar-concentrated-solar-power-broke-price-records-in-2017/ |title=Dispatchable Concentrated Solar Power Broke Price Records in 2017 |access-date= 22 September 2017}}</ref>

Rather than install emissions-cutting technologies, NTPC has chosen to lobby the government to extend pollution reduction deadlines.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-india-ntpc-emissions-exclusive/exclusive-indias-ntpc-snubs-foreign-emissions-tech-shuts-out-ge-others-from-2-billion-orders-idUSKBN1YN0G1?il=0|title=Exclusive: India's NTPC snubs foreign emissions tech, shuts out GE, others from $2 billion orders|newspaper=Reuters|date=19 December 2019|last1=Varadhan|first1=Sudarshan}}</ref>

'''Controversies with projects''':
*[[Loharinag Pala Hydro Power Project]] by NTPC Ltd: Loharinag Pala Hydro Power Project (600 MW i.e. 150 MW × 4 units) is located on the river [[Bhagirathi]] (a tributary of the Ganges) in [[Uttarkashi district|Uttarkashi]] district of [[Uttarakhand]] state. This is the first project downstream from the origin of the [[Ganges]] at [[Gangotri]]. The project was at the advanced stage of construction when it was discontinued by the Government of India in August 2010.
* Rupasiyabagar Khasiabara HPP, 261 MW in Pithoragarh, [[Uttarakhand]] State, near [[China]] Border. This project is yet to be given investment approval..
*[[Badarpur Thermal Power Station]] has been permanently closed due to pollution issue in [[Delhi]] [[National Capital Region (India)|NCR]] . The total installed capacity of all of its units was 705 [[Megawatt|MW]] which has been retired and fully closed since 15 October 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/badarpur-power-plant-shut-action-plan-to-tackle-air-pollution-in-delhi-ncr-comes-into-force/story-Exu4ZryrjCEYZN2Wzpgs9H.html|title = Badarpur power plant shut, action plan to tackle air pollution in Delhi-NCR comes into force|date = 16 October 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/badarpur-thermal-plant-delhi-s-biggest-power-generator-to-shut-down-from-october-15/story-6r1DhoDjb7G0yr48iv8IqI.html|title=Badarpur thermal plant,Delhi's biggest power generator, to shut down from October 15|date=5 October 2018}}</ref>
