Press Release 2: NTPC with Nation to Fight against Coronavirus
NTPC Ltd, India’s largest power producer, has stepped up its vigil against global pandemic of COVID-19 by converting
its hospitals into dedicated Covid-19 units.
NTPC has already utilised its 45 hospitals/health units to make isolation facilities and procured requisite number of
equipment for the medical staff to handle such cases effectively.
As many as 121 beds, with all facilities, have been turned into isolation wards in these hospitals.
The key medical infrastructure that has been made ready for use by state governments to tackle COVID cases
includes the hospital at Badarpur in Delhi and the medical college hospital of Sundergarh at Odisha. Korba Hospital
is also being examined for takeover by the state government.
The Medical staff has also been trained over video calls about the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). On
22nd March, a mock drill was conducted at all hospitals as per MOHFW guidelines. Further 1,160 PPEs, 30,000 masks
and 30,000 gloves have been dispatched to all the projects and stations.
A total of 8 ventilators are being procured at Hazaribagh for District administration. At present, there are 7

as on duty. As far as wages are concerned, there will be no hindrance and they will be given timely. In some cases,
including advances have already been given.
Accommodation, food and medical facilities for the contractor workers have been arranged at many of NTPC’s
projects/stations. At some locations, distribution of food packets/ daily essentials for nearby elderly/pregnant and
lactating mothers / physically challenged and other marginalised sections of the society including poor families has
