NTPC has informed the exchange about a revised cost estimate for its North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Project, which has a total planned capacity of 1,980 MW (3 units of 660 MW each). The new estimated cost is Rs. 21,495.25 crore, up from the original investment approval granted in March 2014. The revision has been disclosed under SEBI's Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulation 30. The exact amount of cost escalation has not been separately stated in this filing.
A higher project cost means more capital spending for NTPC, which could pressure margins unless passed through to tariffs. Shareholders should watch for the original vs. revised cost gap and whether regulators (CERC/state discoms) accept the revised tariff, as this affects the project's eventual returns.
