CHENNAI (Reuters) – India’s top power producer NTPC Ltd could build new coal-fired power plants if needed, the state-run company’s Chairman Gurdeep Singh said on Friday.
“We should not be shying away.
If there is a requirement, we may have to go for new coal-based power plants,” Singh said.
Singh also said that the company was considering building nuclear power plants, but discussions were preliminary.
