The rollout is aimed at strengthening how NTPC Group engages with its vendors by creating a more connected, transparent and responsive system of interaction. Velocious provides NTPC and its vendors with a shared system of engagement designed to scale with the size and diversity of the company’s supplier base.
Under the new system, vendors will have access to a streamlined and transparent mechanism for managing interactions with NTPC. The self-service environment will allow vendors to manage their profiles, track order status and submit invoices digitally across multiple scenarios.
The solution is expected to expand over time to cover a broader range of supplier interactions, supporting NTPC’s vision of a more agile, connected and future-ready supplier ecosystem.
The rollout covers NTPC’s extensive supplier base, with more than 50,000 vendors expected to engage through the platform. The initiative is among the significant supplier experience initiatives undertaken in the Indian public sector.
NTPC expects the initiative to improve compliance and turnaround times, reduce manual effort and strengthen supplier relationships through greater transparency and easier engagement. The initiative supports the organisation’s broader ambition of building a more efficient and supplier-friendly procurement ecosystem.
Virendra Malik, Executive Director - Finance, NTPC Limited, said NTPC has rolled out the Velocious Supplier Experience portal, designed and implemented by Avaali, to support NTPC and its subsidiaries across the vendor ecosystem.
He said the initiative marks a significant step in NTPC’s digital transformation journey by ensuring seamless invoice processing, enhanced transparency and improved compliance. According to Malik, the integration of advanced automation and vendor-centric workflows strengthens operational efficiency and fosters trust with NTPC’s partners.
“NTPC remains committed to leveraging technology for sustainable growth, reinforcing its leadership in the power sector while delivering value to stakeholders and strengthening collaboration across its extensive vendor base,” Malik said.
Sameer Sharma, Executive Director – Information Technology, NTPC Limited, said the new portal would further streamline payment processing while providing vendors with an improved interface.
“We look forward to a smoother and more seamless payment experience for all our partners. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this launch possible!” Sharma said.
Srividya Kannan, CEO of Avaali Solutions, said the company was proud to partner with NTPC on an initiative of this scale and significance.
“Strengthening how a supplier ecosystem of this size engages, communicates, and collaborates is exactly the kind of impact Velocious is built to deliver, and we look forward to growing this partnership with NTPC,” Kannan said.
