Insights into NTPC's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, NTPC generated a total of 110,393 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 50.19% of NTPC's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 48.05% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 1.77% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized.
NTPC's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of NTPC's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, NTPC reported a total waste generation of 110,393 metric tonnes, of which 50.19% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that NTPC is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has NTPC reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, NTPC's total waste generation increased by 44.1%, including a 64.18% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, NTPC's waste recovery rate increased by 49.87%, but declined by 38.83% in 2023, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, NTPC’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.

How NTPC reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, NTPC's total waste generation increased by 44.1%, including a 64.18% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, NTPC saw a long-term increase of 126.5% in hazardous waste share, but a 5.38% reduction in 2023, indicating a recent improvement that may reflect updated production inputs, enhanced treatment, or stricter controls.
Overall, NTPC's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does NTPC treat its hazardous waste?
In 2023, NTPC reported that 4,832 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 4.38% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. Approximately 42.34% was managed through recovery methods, indicating a moderate integration of circular practices into its hazardous waste management. However, a significant share was still directed toward disposal, highlighting room for improvement in reducing the long-term impact of hazardous materials.
