New Delhi — NTPC Limited, India’s largest integrated power producer, has been included in the TIME World’s Best 1000 Companies 2025 list, announced on September 10 in partnership with Statista. The recognition places NTPC among the world’s leading corporations, evaluated on three critical dimensions: employee satisfaction, revenue growth, and sustainability transparency.
The accolade reflects NTPC’s growing stature as a global energy leader. Guided by its vision to become the world’s foremost power company, NTPC has consistently advanced India’s energy transition by delivering reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible power solutions. The company’s inclusion in the TIME list underscores its ability to balance profitability with social and environmental responsibility, a balance increasingly demanded by global markets and stakeholders.
Central to NTPC’s success is its distinctive philosophy of “People before PLF (Plant Load Factor)”, which prioritizes employee well-being and development over purely operational metrics. This people-first approach has fostered a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and resilience, positioning NTPC as a role model for public sector enterprises worldwide. By investing in its workforce, NTPC has ensured that its most valuable asset—its people—remain at the heart of its transformation journey.
The recognition also highlights NTPC’s expanding focus on renewable energy and sustainability. Through its subsidiary NTPC Green Energy, the company has recently commissioned new solar capacity in Gujarat, adding to its growing renewable portfolio. These initiatives align with India’s broader climate goals, including the national commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2070.
For NTPC, being named among the world’s best companies is not merely an award but a validation of its long-term strategy. It demonstrates that operational excellence, employee engagement, and ESG transparency can coexist as drivers of growth. The achievement also reflects the dedication and collective effort of the NTPC family, united by a shared vision of progress and performance.
This global recognition reinforces NTPC’s role as a pivotal force in shaping the future of power generation, not only in India but also on the international stage. By combining innovation with responsibility, NTPC continues to set benchmarks in business excellence and sustainable energy leadership.
