The Corona pandemic failed to defuse the spirit of NTPC, India's largest power producer and PSU under the Ministry of Power, by providing the nation with uninterrupted power supplies. Every power station in Maharatna has risen to the occasion and operates at its optimum level under the support and guidance of the Ministry of Power headed by Shri R K Singh, Minister of State of the Union (I / c), for Power and New & Renewable Energy.
The COVID-19 crisis underscored the importance of power utilities, which have assumed greater significance as electricity is extremely critical to the smooth functioning of a number of sectors of the economy. NTPC also manages the supply of coal to the continuous supply of electricity efficiently.
Even as NTPCians are on the front line and provide a round-the-clock power supply, NTPC has stated that all its plants adhere strictly to the Lockdown and Social Distance Guidelines. Beyond power output, the PSU makes a rich contribution to social welfare activities for underprivileged sections and migrant workers by providing ration and medical assistance. NTPC 's management monitors developments closely so that every corner of the country remains adequately empowered in its fight against COVID-19.
