NTPC to invite consultant for 4,000 MW project in AP.

NTPC Ltd. will initiate the process of identifying a consultant for the proposed 4,000 MW (4 x 1,000 MW) ultra mega thermal power project at Pudimadaka near Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.

The State-owned power company had earlier inked a memorandum with the Andhra Pradesh Government to set up the power plant at an estimated outlay of Rs. 20,000 crore after securing fuel linkages.

NTPC has invited consultancy packages for detailed pre-award and post-award engineering activities for the project, which recently received a boost with the Union Power Ministry backing it as a part of the 'Power For All Scheme' in Andhra Pradesh.
