NEW DELHI. Shri Gurdeep Singh, CMD of NTPC, inaugurated the second edition of the NTPC conference on Occupational Safety, Health and Environment (NOSHE 2026) at PMI Noida recently . The high-profile event drew an influential gathering of top leadership, including the Director (Operations), Director (HR), regional executive directors, policymakers, and industry regulators. Centered around the forward-looking theme, ‘Stronger SHE for Building a Brighter Tomorrow,’ this year’s conference emphasizes the critical need to deeply integrate safety, health, and environmental considerations into every facet of business planning. In his inaugural address, the CMD noted that workplace safety begins with individual accountability under the corporate safety policy, emphasizing that operational incidents are rarely isolated events but are instead driven by underlying negligence that must be countered by embedding a strict “design safely, operate safely” philosophy into daily workflows.
The premier platform fosters vital collaboration and knowledge sharing across public sector enterprises, government agencies, and leading academic institutions. Reinforcing this vision, the Director (Operations) stressed the role of collective action in building climate-resilient workplaces, driving low-carbon generation, and tackling pollutants directly at their origin to secure long-term energy security. Complementing this approach, the Director (HR) called on leadership at all levels to push beyond mere regulatory compliance, urging teams to leverage modern technology, conduct regular training, and establish optimal working conditions that naturally nurture a proactive culture of safety. Featuring dedicated plenary sessions with domain experts, the conference serves as a unique arena for exchanging industry best practices to ensure sustainable, secure, and highly resilient operational excellence.
