National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) is all set to acquire Jharkhand State Electricity Board’s Patratu Thermal Power Station (PTPS).
 
According to sources, the company intends to set up 5-6 super-critical thermal units at the location, as the station has huge tracts of vacant land.
 
The sources further added that the acquisition will help NTPC meet its targets to add fresh capacity without having to acquire additional lands in the area.

At present, PTPS has 10 units with a total installed capacity of 840 mw.
