We can say 8 paise per unit that is the impact as by the recent price hike by coal india....By the time it will go to the states it will depend upon state to state."

State-owned Coal India had last month announced nearly 6.3 per cent increase in coal prices and will earn an additional revenue of around Rs 3,234 crore during the current fiscal 2016-17.

The company further said it is revisiting its business plan for 2032. NTPC envisages 128 GW of power generation by 2032.

With the increasing push to renewable energy, the company is planning to generate 11 per cent of its total capacity from renewable energy sources, Singh said adding that "most of it would be solar power."
NTPC had earmarked capex for meeting the norms set under the new emission and water usage norms.
