Seventeen personnel have returned to India from Rampal Power Plant on “security grounds”. Subsequently, 12 NTPC executives were deployed at the plant solely in advisory capacities, without any operational responsibilities. In view of the existing personal security concerns in Bangladesh, the NTPC advisory officials informed NTPC management and returned to India after obtaining all necessary approvals. They are available around the clock and are prepared to travel to the plant immediately if any operational emergency arises. BIFPCL further emphasized that both units of the Rampal Power Plant are operating at near full capacity in line with national grid demand, and that overall plant performance remains stable.
