State-owned power giant NTPC on Saturday (May 24, 2025) reported a nearly 22% rise in consolidated net profit to ₹7,897.14 crore in the March quarter of FY25, aided by higher revenue from its generation business.
The power major had reported a net profit of ₹6,490.05 crore in the January-March period of 2023-24, the company said in an exchange filing.
NTPC's total income increased to ₹51,085.05 crore in the latest March quarter from ₹48,816.55 crore in Q4 FY24. The company earned a revenue of ₹49,352.99 crore alone from the generation business, up from ₹47,088.70 crore revenue garnered from the segment in fourth quarter of FY24.
For the entire FY25, the company's net profit rose to ₹23,953.15 crore against ₹21,332.45 crore in FY24.
The total income also climbed to ₹1,90,862.45 crore from ₹1,81,165.86 crore in FY24.
In FY25, the profit from subsidiaries increased to ₹4,139 crore, higher from ₹3,897 crore in FY24. While the share of profit from joint ventures also rose to ₹2,214 crore in the fiscal ended March 2025 from ₹1,636 crore in the April-March 2023-24.
The company's board of directors has recommended a final dividend of 33.50% (₹3.35 per share) for 2024-25, subject to approval of shareholders in the ensuing annual general meeting.
The final dividend is in addition to the first interim dividend at the rate of ₹2.50 per share and the second interim dividend at ₹2.50 per share of face value of ₹10 each for FY25 paid in November and February, respectively.
In a snap shot, NTPC said its capacity increased by 3,972 MW to 79,930 MW in FY25 from 75,958 MW as of March 2024. While standalone capacity increased by 335 MW to 59,413 MW as of March 2025, from 59,078 MW in FY24.
The gross power generation was at 372.825 billion units (BUs) during the year, up 3.07$ as against 361.703 BUs in FY24.
The average tariff for the year was ₹4.70/kwh (kilowatt hour) in FY25. Total coal supply to power plants from captive mines was at 253.26 MMT in FY25 as against 231.64 MMT in FY24.
About capacity, the company said around 80 GW is under operation and another 34 GW is under Construction. There is 7 GW of green energy under operation through subsidiary NTPC Green Energy Ltd (NGEL), 18 GW contracted & awarded and 9 GW under pipeline, the company said.
NTPC further said it has set an ambitious goal to develop 30 GW of nuclear power in alignment with India's net-zero carbon emission commitment by 2070 and the national target of 100 GW nuclear capacity by 2047.
"Our approach is two-pronged: in FY 2024-25, the government of India approved ASHVINI to build, own, and operate nuclear power plants. We are in the process of executing Mahi Banswara Rajasthan Atomic Power Project, comprising four 700 MW reactors." Second, the company has incorporated NTPC Parmanu Urja Nigam Limited in January 2025 as a wholly-owned subsidiary to explore advanced nuclear technologies, including Pressurised Water Reactors, Small Modular Reactors and Fast Breeder Reactors.
Around 28 potential sites have been identified across states like U.P., M.P., Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, and others, with memorandum of understandings already signed with the Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh governments, the company said.
On pumped storage projects, the company said it is strategically positioned with an impressive 21,240 MW pumped storage portfolio - 10,200 MW under NTPC and 11,040 MW through THDC and NEEPCO.
"We will see our first 1,000 MW commissioned through Tehri PSP shortly. We have completed Preliminary Feasibility Reports for 18 projects and Detailed Project Reports for 4 projects are in an advanced stage," NTPC said.
PSP assets offer over 40 years of operational life and attractive regulated returns. As critical infrastructure for India's renewable transition, they add long-term stability to our energy portfolio, ensuring sustainable growth while advancing energy security and climate goals.
NTPC, under the Ministry of Power, is India's largest power generation company.

Stocks to buy for the short term: Jigar Patel of Anand Rathi is bullish on THESE 3 shares; do you own any?

Stocks to buy for the short term: The Indian stock market continued to be under pressure for the fourth consecutive session on Monday, July 14, as the intensifying trade war kept investors on edge. US President Donald Trump announced a 30 per cent tariff on imports from Mexico and the European Union (EU) starting on August 1. Earlier on Thursday, 11 July, announced a 35 per cent tariff rate for goods imported from Canada. Trump's fresh tariff threats have dealt a blow to market sentiment. The Nifty 50 has been rangebound for over a month now. On Monday, July 14, the index hit an intraday low of 25,019.75 during the session. For the month, the index is down about 2 per cent. The index fell 1.22 per cent for the week ended July 11, extending losses to the second consecutive week. Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, underscored that over the past two weeks, the Nifty 50 has repeatedly struggled to breach the critical resistance zone of 25,600–25,800. Patel added that this zone is technically significant as it coincides with the gap-down region from early October 2024, which also marked a major market top. As a result, this area continues to act as a strong supply zone. A sustained breakout above this level is essential to revive bullish momentum and open the door for further upside. On the downside, Patel said that the immediate support lies at the 25,000 level, supported by a rising trendline on short-term charts. "A breakdown below this threshold may initiate a deeper corrective phase, potentially dragging the index towards the 24,500 area. Conversely, if support holds, a short-term technical rebound cannot be ruled out. However, any such recovery should be viewed as an opportunity to reduce long exposure, given the lack of broader participation and the absence of a meaningful correction so far," said Patel. Jigar Patel recommends buying shares of NTPC, Voltas and Sun Pharma for the next two to three weeks. Patel underscored that NTPC has been forming a strong base in the ₹ 330–340 zone over the past two months, establishing an inside value relationship on monthly camarilla pivot — a structure that typically precedes a directional breakout. This consolidation indicates reduced volatility and energy build-up, which often leads to an explosive move. Additionally, the RSI remains comfortably above the 50 mark, suggesting underlying bullish momentum is intact. "We recommend initiating long positions in the ₹ 343–340 range, with an upside potential toward ₹ 375. A stop-loss should be placed below ₹ 325 on a daily closing basis to manage risk effectively," said Patel. NTPC share technical chart Patel pointed out that Voltas has established a strong base in the ₹ 1,330–1,340 zone over the past month. This price action has led to the formation of an overlapping higher value relationship on the monthly Camarilla pivot, which typically signals accumulation and a potential upside breakout in the coming weeks. The RSI is comfortably positioned above 60, indicating strengthening bullish momentum and favourable conditions for continuing the upward move. "We recommend initiating long positions in the ₹ 1,370–1,350 zone, targeting an upside move towards ₹ 1,500. A stop loss should be maintained below ₹ 1,295 on a daily closing basis to manage risk effectively," said Patel. Voltas share technical chart Patel highlighted that Sun Pharma has established a solid base in the ₹ 1,650–1,680 zone, which coincides with the S3 Camarilla monthly pivot and marks a critical support area. This zone also aligns with a rising trendline and a lower median line of the pitchfork, offering strong technical confluence. These multiple support factors suggest that the stock is likely to attract buying interest around current levels. A sustained move above this base could trigger a fresh upside, especially if broader market sentiment remains constructive. "Traders may consider entering long positions in the ₹ 1,675–1,665 range, with a target price of ₹ 1,785 and a stop loss of ₹ 1,610 on a daily closing basis," said Patel.

NFO Alert! Groww MF launches BSE Power ETF; here's all you need to know

Groww BSE Power ETF: Groww Mutual Fund is set to launch the Groww BSE Power ETF, an open-ended scheme tracking the BSE Power Index (TRI). The new fund offer (NFO) will open for subscription on Friday, July 18, 2025 and closes on Friday, August 1, 2025. According to the scheme information document (SID), the investment objective of the scheme is to generate long-term capital growth by investing in securities of the BSE Power Index in the same proportion, to provide returns before expenses that track the total return of the BSE Power Index, subject to tracking errors. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved. The Groww BSE Power ETF will be managed passively with investments in stocks in the same proportion as in the BSE Power Index (TRI). The Scheme will invest at least 95 per cent of its net assets in Equity and equity-related instruments of the BSE Power Index (TRI). Some of the key constituents of the BSE Power index include NTPC, Power Grid, Suzlon Energy, Tata Power, Adani Power, Bharat Heavy Electricals, ABB India, Adani Green Energy and Siemens. During the NFO, investors can invest a minimum of ₹500 and in multiples of ₹1 thereafter, with units allotted in whole numbers and any remaining amount refunded. After the NFO, only Market Makers and Large Investors (with transactions over ₹25 crores) can buy or redeem units directly from the Mutual Fund in creation unit sizes. According to the SID, post-NFO, the ETF will be listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). If units are redeemed, no exit load will be charged. Nikhil Satam, Aakash Chauhan, and Shashi Kumar are the designated fund managers for the scheme. As per the riskometer, the principal invested in the scheme will be at very high risk. Groww BSE Power ETF: Who should invest? According to the SID, the fund is suitable for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation and investment in equity and equity-related instruments of the BSE Power Index. However, investors should consult their financial advisers if in doubt about whether the product is suitable for them.
