NCPA is most definitely a conservative think tank, and it's also an industry front group, well established and fairly well know in Washington.
Its funders -- P&G, ExxonMobil, Scaife, Lilly -- are its message. Its board and staff are not only a who's who of the GOP, but of other conservative think tanks and front groups as well -- Hudson, Hoover, Heartland, etc.
A couple of minutes of googling comes up with enough evidence to convince anyone who could be convinced with evidence.
