NTPC reported a solid FY24 with standalone PAT of INR 18,079 crores (+5% YoY) and group PAT of INR 21,332 crores (+25% YoY), driven by higher generation (422 BU, +6% YoY) and strong subsidiary/JV performance. Thermal capacity additions remain on track with 15.2 GW planned for near-term ordering, while renewable pipeline stands at 22 GW (3.6 GW commissioned, 8.4 GW under execution). Management guided for 3 GW renewable commissioning in FY25 and 5 GW in FY26. The IPO of NTPC Green Energy Ltd is planned for Oct-Nov 2024. Key risk: execution delays in renewable projects due to land and module procurement issues, though largely addressed.
