NTPC

In a strategic move that underscores its focus on global engagement and policy insight, NTPC Limited has announced the appointment of Anil Kumar Trigunayat as an Additional (Independent) Director on its board. Trigunayat, a veteran of the Indian Foreign Service, brings decades of diplomatic experience from key global postings. His appointment, effective April 17, 2025, follows approval by NTPC’s board and is valid for one year or until further orders from the Ministry of Power.

India’s largest power utility, NTPC Group, has significantly revised its thermal expansion blueprint, increasing its coal-based capacity target to 30,000 megawatts (MW) by FY32—up from the earlier 26,000 MW by FY31. The state-run company is aligning this move with its broader energy transition goals, which include an ambitious plan to add 60 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2032.
