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.
एनटीपीसी ने वित्त वर्ष 2024 में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी का शुद्ध लाभ (PAT) 18,079 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो पिछले साल से 5% ज्यादा है। पूरे समूह का लाभ 21,332 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 25% बढ़ा। इसकी वजह ज्यादा बिजली उत्पादन (422 बिलियन यूनिट, 6% ज्यादा) और सहायक कंपनियों का अच्छा प्रदर्शन है। कोयला बिजली परियोजनाओं के लिए 15.2 गीगावॉट की योजना है। नवीकरणीय ऊर्जा (सौर-हवा) में 22 गीगावॉट का पाइपलाइन है, जिसमें 3.6 गीगावॉट चालू है और 8.4 गीगावॉट बन रहा है। कंपनी वित्त वर्ष 2025 में 3 गीगावॉट और 2026 में 5 गीगावॉट नवीकरणीय ऊर्जा चालू करेगी। एनटीपीसी ग्रीन एनर्जी का आईपीओ अक्टूबर-नवंबर 2024 में आएगा। जोखिम: जमीन और सोलर पैनल खरीद में देरी, लेकिन ज्यादातर समाधान हो चुका है।
