✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
NTPC reported a strong Q2 FY24 with PAT of INR 3,885 crore, up 16.6% YoY, driven by higher generation and improved coal availability. Standalone gross generation rose to 179 BU in H1, with coal PLF at 76.62% vs national average of 68.75%. The company is aggressively expanding its renewable pipeline, targeting 15 GW by FY26 and 60 GW by FY32, while also planning to award 11.2 GW of new thermal capacity over the next 12 months. Coal production hit a record 16.06 MMT in H1, up 83% YoY. Management guided for a consolidated PAT premium of 15-20% over standalone. Key risk: execution delays in renewable and pumped storage projects due to clearances and supply chain issues.
एनटीपीसी ने दूसरी तिमाही में मजबूत प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी का मुनाफा 3,885 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो पिछले साल से 16.6% ज्यादा है। इसकी वजह ज्यादा बिजली उत्पादन और कोयले की बेहतर उपलब्धता है। पहली छमाही में बिजली उत्पादन 179 बिलियन यूनिट रहा। कोयले से बिजली बनाने वाले प्लांट 76.62% क्षमता से चले, जबकि देशभर में यह औसत 68.75% है। कंपनी अक्षय ऊर्जा (सौर-पवन) का विस्तार कर रही है। लक्ष्य है 2026 तक 15 गीगावॉट और 2032 तक 60 गीगावॉट क्षमता। साथ ही, अगले 12 महीनों में 11.2 गीगावॉट नई थर्मल (कोयला) क्षमता का ठेका देने की योजना है। कोयला उत्पादन 83% बढ़कर 16.06 मिलियन टन रिकॉर्ड रहा। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि कुल मुनाफा अकेले बिजली कारोबार से 15-20% ज्यादा होगा। मुख्य जोखिम: अक्षय ऊर्जा परियोजनाओं में मंजूरी और आपूर्ति की समस्या से देरी हो सकती है।
