NTPC, a central PSU under the Ministry of Power and power generation company, has developed infrastructure at Rihand plant in Uttar Pradesh to transport fly ash in bulk to cement plants, located at distance, at a cheaper cost.
The development is in line with NTPC’s commitment towards 100 per cent utilisation of fly ash from power plants.
The first rake of 59 BOXN type of railway wagons carrying 3,450 tonne of fly ash was flagged off from NTPC’s Rihand Super Thermal Power Station for ACC Cement manufacturing plant at Tikari in Uttar Pradesh located at a distance of 458 km.
The Group has over 20 GW capacity under construction, including five GW renewable energy projects.
