Towards the end of last century, many countries started structural changes in their infrastructure sectors. Many countries decided to un-bundle their hitherto government controlled power sector. Further, in order to meet the growing demand for power, privatization of power projects emerged as the most outstanding choice. These actions of many progressive governments resulted in a number of opportunities for private players in power sector. These include development of power projects as Independent Power Producers (IPP).

Keeping its proactive tradition, NTPC launched a separate International Cell to meet the varied needs of IPPs and other International clients who are looking for a world class service in power sector. The International Cell is fully backed by NTPC’s three decades of experience and expertise. The Cell is especially tuned to meet the requirements of International clients in terms of quick response, flexible service options and to deliver value for money.
