News Release

Kawasaki, Japan - Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation (Toshiba) today announced that Toshiba JSW Power Systems Private Ltd. (Toshiba JSW), its Indian subsidiary for engineering, manufacturing, and servicing power plant equipment, has signed a contract with NTPC Limited, India’s state-owned power generation company, for the provision of a centralized monitoring system for 165 thermal and renewable energy power plants owned and operated by NTPC or its joint ventures, including plants currently at the planning stage.

This contract marks NTPC’s first deployment of a plant monitoring solution of this kind. Scheduled to commence operation in spring 2027, the system will also integrate EtaPRO™, Toshiba’s advanced plant monitoring software, which has a proven track record and currently supports 763GW of power generation capacity in more than 60 countries worldwide.

While India is currently responding to rapid economic growth with a national plan to expand its power generation capacity from 399GW in 2022 to 900GW by 2032*, there are concerns to meet current power requirements and ensure secure supply, which is driving strong demand for currently operating plants to secure stable operation and high reliability. Introduction of Toshiba’s monitoring system will enhance operational efficiency and ensure a stable power supply, while also enabling faster, more precise maintenance services.

This system uses AI to analyze real-time operational data collected from sensors installed in individual power plants. It delivers early detection of signs of abnormality in plant equipment, and carries out root cause analysis to prevent unwanted consequences. The system also uses the monitored data to automate and manage maintenance processes, significantly reducing the occurrence and duration of plant shutdowns. It also analyzes data accumulated over time, and uses the results to enhance the accuracy of anomaly prediction and to improve maintenance efficiency.
