The pond ash is to be used in the construction of 42 kilometres long four-lane National Highway-363 from Mancherial to Repallewada in Telangana State. This will help reduce travel time between Vijaywada and Nagpur on road.

Chief General Manager, NTPC-Ramagundam and Telangana, Sunil Kumar signed the MoU with Project Director, NHAI-Mancherial, Ravindra Rao in the presence of senior officials from NTPC and NHAI at a programme held at NTPC on Saturday.

This will not only help NHAI to meet their urgent need but also boost NTPC’s already proactive initiative to achieve a hundred percent ash utilisation.

During the last three years, the power station achieved over a hundred percent ash utilisation. In the current financial year, the station as of today achieved 100.07% ash utilisation.
