+NPU Plugin Batching 
+===============================
+
+
+.. meta::
+   :description: OpenVINO™ NPU plugin supports batching
+                 either by executing concurrent inferences or by
+                 relying on native compiler support for batching.
+
+OpenVINO™ NPU plugin supports batching either by executing concurrent inferences or by relying on native compiler support for batching.
+
+First, the NPU plugin checks if the following conditions are met:
+
+* The batch size is on the first axis.
+* All inputs and outputs have the same batch size.
+* The model does not contain states.
+
+If the **conditions are met**, the NPU plugin attempts to compile and execute the original model with batch_size forced to 1. This approach is due to current compiler limitations and ongoing work to improve performance for batch_size greater than one.
+If the compilation is successful, the plugin detects a difference in batch size between the original model layout (with a batch size set to N)
+and the transformed/compiled layout (with a batch size set to 1). Then it executes the following steps:
+
+1. Internally constructs multiple command lists, one for each input.
+2. Executes each command list for the proper offsets of input/output buffers.
+3. Notifies the user of the completion of the inference request after all command lists have been executed.
+
+This concurrency-based batching mode is transparent to the application. A single inference request handles all inputs from the batch.
+While performance may be lower compared to regular batching (based on native compiler support), this mode provides basic batching functionality for use either with older drivers
+or when the model cannot yet be compiled with a batch size larger than one.
+
+If the **conditions are not met**, the NPU plugin tries to compile and execute the original model with the given
+batch_size to N as any other regular model.
+
+.. note::
+
+   With future performance improvements and support for compiling multiple models with a batch size larger 
+   than one, the default order will change. NPU will try first to compile and execute the original model with the 
+   given batch size and fall back to concurrent batching if compilation fails.
