NTPC Talcher Kaniha Achieves 100% Ash Utilization

Achievement Overview:

• NTPC Talcher Kaniha, a Super Thermal Power Station with a capacity of 3010 MW, has reached 100% ash utilization for the financial year 2024-25.
• This milestone is a major environmental accomplishment, aimed at minimizing ash storage in ash ponds and promoting effective resource utilization.

  Ash Utilization Details:

• The power station has achieved a total ash utilization of 67 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) during the current financial year—a 43.2% increase from the previous year.
• Non-dyke ash utilization stands at 45%, indicating the station’s commitment to reducing environmental impact while enhancing the use of ash in industrial and infrastructural applications.

  Utilization Applications:

• Fly ash is being supplied for national infrastructure projects such as:

  • Road construction
  • Soil conservation
  • Manufacturing of ash-based products

• Major projects benefiting include road works on corridors like Cuttack-Angul (NH55), Duburi-Chandikhol-Balasore (NH53), Chandikhol-Paradip (NH53), Berhampur Bypass (NH59), and Khordha Bypass (NH57).
