NTPC Sipat celebrated the 51st Foundation Day of NTPC Limited, the country’s largest power generating company, on 7th November 2025 with great enthusiasm and pride. The celebration began with a Guard of Honour presented to Shri Vijay Krishna Pandey, Executive Director and Head of Project, by the personnel of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), followed by the unfurling of the NTPC flag to mark the commencement of the ceremony.
Addressing the gathering, the Executive Director extended his best wishes to all employees on the occasion of NTPC’s 51st Foundation Day and reflected upon the organisation’s glorious journey of over five decades. He highlighted that NTPC, with about 108 stations across the country, has an installed capacity of approximately 85,000 MW and is lighting every fourth bulb in India.
