NTPC Ltd is a state-owned monopoly in electricity generation with installed capacity of 51,671 MW, of the country's total capacity of 330,153 MW. NTPC contributed 24 per cent of the electricity consumed in the country in the last fiscal, 2016-17. A company born out of necessity after the food and oil crisis of 1973-74, then prime minister Indira Gandhi set up NTPC as a PSU to generate and supply thermal-based electricity (NHPC was set up for hydro projects). Its first target: improve project delivery efficiency. Power entities in the states used to take 60 months to instal 200 MW then, which NTPC soon brought down to 48 months or less.
