The objective is to improve the falling plant load factors (PLFs) of seven power plants that are more than 25 years old. The total capacity of these plants is around 5,000 Megawatts. While coal related worries have made many power companies freeze their expansion plans, NTPC is best placed to order equipment as they have already signed power purchase agreements, and has the maximum number of cleared projects. NTPC's share is trading down by 0.8%
