NTPC develops infrastructure at UP's Rihand Project to increase use of fly ash

National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd. (NTPC), a central PSU under Ministry of Power and country’s largest power generation company, has developed an infrastructure at Rihand Super Thermal Power station in Uttar Pradesh to transport fly ash from a remote location to a consumption centre at a cheaper cost.
The initiative is in line with NTPC’s commitment to achieve 100 percent productive utilization of fly ash from power plants.
The innovation will pave the way for efficient and safer transportation of fly ash from the power plants to cement production units located at far distance, in larger quantity.
