NTPC advisers hold advisory roles as plant operations remain stable

It is clarified that following the transfer of 17 expatriates during December 2025–January 2026, carried out in compliance with the expatriate ratio mandated by the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority, a total of 12 NTPC executives were deployed at the plant strictly in advisory roles. These executives were not assigned any operational responsibilities. All control room and operational activities have been, and continue to be, managed exclusively by the BIFPCL local cadre.

In view of prevailing personal security concerns in Bangladesh, the concerned NTPC advisory personnel returned to India after duly informing NTPC management and obtaining all necessary approvals. It is categorically incorrect to suggest that any official vacated the premises without notifying the relevant authorities. All stakeholders and competent authorities were fully informed prior to their departure.

The personnel concerned continue to remain on duty and are discharging their advisory and support functions through virtual platforms, including WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and video conferencing. They remain available round the clock and are prepared to travel to the plant immediately in the event of any operational exigency.

It is further emphasised that both units are operating close to full load, in line with national grid demand, and that plant performance remains stable and unaffected. Any suggestion to the contrary is factually incorrect, misleading and unwarranted, and may create unnecessary concern.
