COMPANY WIDE DEDICATED COMMUNICATION NETWORK

NTPC is among very few companies in India to have it’s own Enterprise-wide Satellite /MW based communication Network.

In view of the remote locations of NTPC projects – Satellite based network was established way back in 1990. This shows the importance given to information & communication in those days !

The network has been expanding, matching with the expansion of NTPC.

All projects /locations connected on network.
