NTPC Achieves 22% Increase in Q4 Profit, Reaching Rs 7,897 Crore

State-owned power giant NTPC has announced a significant 22% increase in its consolidated net profit for the March quarter of FY25, reaching Rs 7,897.14 crore. This growth, attributed to a surge in revenue from its generation business, marks a notable rise from the Rs 6,490.05 crore profit reported during the same period last year. The company’s total income also saw an uptick, climbing to Rs 51,085.05 crore, compared to Rs 48,816.55 crore in the previous quarter.

Financial Performance and Revenue Growth

NTPC’s financial results for the March quarter reflect a robust performance, with total income rising to Rs 51,085.05 crore, up from Rs 48,816.55 crore in Q4 FY24. The core generation segment contributed significantly to this growth, generating Rs 49,352.99 crore, an increase from Rs 47,088.70 crore a year earlier. For the entire financial year FY25, NTPC reported a net profit of Rs 23,953.15 crore, compared to Rs 21,332.45 crore in FY24. The company’s total income for the year also increased to Rs 1,90,862.45 crore, up from Rs 1,81,165.86 crore in the previous fiscal year. This upward trend is further supported by improved earnings from subsidiaries and joint ventures, with profits from subsidiaries rising to Rs 4,139 crore and joint ventures contributing Rs 2,214 crore.

Dividend Recommendations and Capacity Expansion

In light of its strong financial performance, NTPC’s board has proposed a final dividend of 33.50%, or Rs 3.35 per share, for FY25, pending shareholder approval. This recommendation follows two interim dividends of Rs 2.50 per share each, distributed in November and February. Additionally, NTPC has made significant strides in capacity expansion, adding 3,972 MW during FY25, which brings its total operational capacity to 79,930 MW as of March 2025, up from 75,958 MW the previous year. The standalone capacity also increased by 335 MW to reach 59,413 MW. The company achieved a gross power generation of 372.825 billion units, reflecting a 3.07% increase from the previous fiscal year.

Future Plans and Nuclear Energy Initiatives

Looking ahead, NTPC has laid out ambitious plans to develop 30 GW of nuclear power capacity, aligning with India’s net-zero carbon goal by 2070 and the national target of 100 GW nuclear capacity by 2047. The company is currently executing the Mahi Banswara Rajasthan Atomic Power Project, which includes four 700 MW reactors. In January 2025, NTPC established a wholly owned subsidiary, NTPC Parmanu Urja Nigam Limited, to explore advanced nuclear technologies. The company has identified 28 potential nuclear project sites across various states, including Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and has signed memorandums of understanding with the governments of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

Pumped Storage Projects and Renewable Energy Transition

NTPC is also focusing on pumped storage projects, holding a significant portfolio of 21,240 MW, with 10,200 MW under its direct management and 11,040 MW through its subsidiaries. The company is set to commission its first 1,000 MW through the Tehri Pumped Storage Project shortly. NTPC has completed preliminary feasibility reports for 18 projects, with detailed project reports for four projects in advanced stages. These pumped storage projects are expected to play a crucial role in supporting India’s renewable energy transition, providing long-term energy stability and security while contributing to climate goals. As the largest power generation company in India, NTPC continues to lead the way in expanding its capacity and exploring innovative energy solutions.
