NTPC's Northern Region HQ and NTPC Dadri are presenting clean energy research at the 4th UP International Trade Show (UPITS) in Greater Noida, running from September 25 to 29, 2026. The pavilion highlights work from NETRA, NTPC's R&D wing, across renewable energy, green hydrogen, carbon capture, energy storage, and coal gasification. Visitors can see 3D models and interactive displays focused on these technologies. The exhibition is part of NTPC's effort to show its clean energy and advanced technology initiatives at a national trade platform. The company has not released details on project scale or commercialization timelines, but the pavilion gives a public look at the research areas NTPC is pursuing as India's power sector shifts toward lower-carbon generation.

NTPC bringing green hydrogen and carbon capture to a trade show is interesting, but the release doesn't say anything about scale or timelines. NETRA R&D is fine, I'd want to know if any of this is moving past pilot stage.

Energy storage and coal gasification in the same pavilion is a weird mix. Storage is about grid flexibility, gasification is about extending coal. Would like to see capacity numbers or demo project references, otherwise it's just booth content.

Carbon capture only makes sense if it's tied to actual capture and storage accounting, not just a display. India's CCUS policy is still thin on verification. Maybe NTPC can use this platform to show how they plan to measure it.

Good to see NTPC pushing renewables and hydrogen at a national trade platform, but the news is light on specifics. Which hydrogen route, electrolysis or coal gasification with CCUS? That distinction matters for emissions impact.

The interactive booths are fine, but the real question is whether NETRA's R&D gets deployed at actual plants. India needs these technologies in the field, not just at exhibition stalls.
