Focus on flexible thermal operations<\/strong><\/p> The approval for investment comes as NTPC continues efforts to improve the flexibility of its thermal power fleet to support the growing integration of renewable energy into India\u2019s electricity grid.<\/p> In June, the company had invited bids from technology solution providers to help its sub-critical thermal power units operate at lower loads and in a more flexible manner. The initiative covers units ranging from 150 MW to 250 MW and aims to enable operations in two shifts while reducing the minimum technical load to 25%.<\/p> Through the programme, NTPC plans to identify technology partners capable of developing highly flexible thermal generation solutions, a move the company said would strengthen grid reliability, stability and support India\u2019s energy transition requirements.<\/p> Q4 FY26 performance<\/strong><\/p> NTPC had reported a stronger-than-expected standalone performance for the quarter ended March 2026 despite a decline in revenue and operating earnings due to softer realisations and margin pressure.<\/p> The company posted a 15% year-on-year increase in net profit to Rs 8,747.3 crore for the March quarter, compared with Rs 7,611 crore in the corresponding period last year. The profit figure was also significantly higher than the Rs 6,241 crore estimate in the CNBC-TV18 poll.<\/p> <\/div> Disclaimer: Business Today provides stock market news for informational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice.
