Quarter read
What the record says.
NTPC reported a resilient Q3 FY24 with group PAT for 9M FY24 up 21% YoY to INR 14,842 crore, driven by higher generation (group generation up 7% to 315 BUs) and improved coal production (up 74% to 25.36 MMT). The company plans to award 16.8 GW of new thermal capacity, with 5.6 GW to be tendered in H1 FY25, and targets 50 MTPA coal production in three years. Renewable pipeline stands at 22.7 GW, with 7.8 GW under construction. Management guided for under-recovery reversal in Q4 and expects INR 400-450 crore full-year under-recovery. Key risk: execution delays in renewable projects due to module supply and transmission constraints.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Out of 16.8 GW planned, 5.6 GW will be tendered in Q1-Q2 FY25, including Singrauli, Sipat, and Darlipali.
- Management confirmed achieving 27 MMT in 9M FY24 and expects to meet the full-year target of 34 MMT.
- Despite delays, management reiterated the target of 15 GW operational renewable capacity by FY26.
- Full-year under-recovery expected at INR 400-450 crore, with reversal in Q4 as planned outages complete.
Risks flagged
- Module supply issues have delayed renewable commissioning; only 1 GW expected by March 2024 out of 7.8 GW under construction.
- Analyst raised concern about transmission delays impacting renewable aspirations; management acknowledged minor delays but expects no material impact.
- Standalone profit before regulatory deferral declined YoY; management attributed to one-time accounting changes but could recur.
Key quotes
- We are not happy with the pace of execution, but these are things which are not in our control, and now hopefully we are back on track.
- The regulatory deferral will have deferral based on two, three components... we can't capture a trend per se.
- We have a comfortable projection... our cash flow projection is comfortable, and it will be able to take care of my 30% equity for all this requirement.
