State-owned NTPC aims to add around 16,000 MW of coal-based power capacity in the next few years, in line with the Centre's view of adding more thermal capacities by FY32 to meet India's rising demand.

The target is in addition to the power firm's capacity of 10,000 MW which is under construction, a senior company official told ET.

The total target of the government is to add 80-90 GW more thermal capacities by 2032.
