What the record says.
NTPC reported 18% YoY PAT growth to ₹23,162 crore in FY26 on standalone basis, driven by 51.4% PAT surge in Q4 to ₹8,747 crore. Revenue declined 2.69% YoY to ₹1,69,725 crore due to lower thermal generation amid renewable curtailment during solar hours. The company achieved its highest-ever annual capacity addition of 9,618 MW in FY26, crossing the 90 GW mark, with NTPC contributing 1,823 MW and JVs/subsidiaries 7,795 MW. NGEL's renewable generation surged 114% YoY to 14.6 BU. Management guided 8 GW annual renewable capacity additions for FY27 and FY28, targeting 60 GW by 2032, supported by ₹3 lakh crore capex allocation. Thermal fleet PLF of 72.04% outperformed industry average of 63.20%, though backing down during solar peaks remains a concern. Key risks include transmission connectivity shortfalls (only 57% secured for FY27), renewable curtailment impact of ~₹90 crore, and execution challenges on nuclear projects with first unit targeted for 2032.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- NTPC Group plans 9,557 MW capacity addition in FY27 comprising 1,070 MW thermal, 250 MW hydro, and 8,237 MW renewable. JV/subsidiaries to contribute 7,381 MW.
- FY28 targets 10,390 MW total capacity addition including 1,460 MW thermal (TTPS Stage 3, Patratu), 444 MW hydro (Vishnugad Pipalkoti), and 8,135 MW renewable.
- Government enhanced investment approval limit for renewable subsidiaries up to ₹20,000 crore, supporting NTPC's target of 60 GW renewable capacity by 2032 with average 8 GW annual additions planned.
- NGL capex for FY27: ₹35,800 crore; FY28: ₹46,000 crore; FY29: ₹48,000 crore. Implementing debt-equity ratio of 80:20.
Risks flagged
- Only 57% firm connectivity secured for FY27 renewable capacity (4,237 MW), with 38% dependent on T-GNA. Remaining 9% for FY28 also not tied up, risking curtailment and delayed commissioning.
- Thermal units face technical minimum constraints at 55% PLF during daytime solar peaks. Grid curtailment of 314 MUs and 135 MUs brass loss occurred in FY26, with ~₹90 crore financial impact.
- NGEL's total project pipeline declined from 32 GW to 30 GW as management 'normalized' numbers based on JV progress assessment. Analyst raised concern about project removals without clear explanation.
- FY26 saw lower project wins through tariff competitive bidding as NGL stayed away due to unattractive terms. Management did not commit to returning to 2-3 GW annual win rate achieved in FY24-25.
Key quotes
- We have had taken up this issue at a policy level that the thermal fleets will have to be supported for a technical minimum because below this it becomes increasingly infeasible. And accordingly there has been very favorable pronouncement wherein we have been assured a technical minimum of 55%.
- As regards the grid curtailment where we are experiencing because of the temporary GNA it would have an impact close to 90 crores 20 crores 90 crores.
- Our idea would be to steeply increase it so that we fulfill our target of 60 gawatt much ahead of what we are planning by 2032.
