Subsidiary earnings rise faster

NTPC, India’s state-owned electricity group, reported consolidated profit after tax of 7,351 crore rupees for the quarter ended 30 September, up 40.68 per cent from 5,225 crore a year earlier. One crore equals 10 million rupees. The group declared a first interim dividend of 3 rupees per share for fiscal 2026–27 alongside the quarterly results.[1], [2]

Subsidiary companies contributed profit of 1,990 crore rupees, compared with 1,149 crore, a rise of 73 per cent. Consolidated profit for the six months ended 30 September increased 25.70 per cent, from 11,334 crore to 14,247 crore rupees.[1]

Parent company records smaller profit growth

On a standalone basis, NTPC’s quarterly profit rose 14 per cent to 5,320 crore rupees from 4,653 crore. Total income increased 15.12 per cent to 46,842 crore from 40,689 crore. Standalone profit for the first half rose 13 per cent to 10,662 crore from 9,428 crore rupees. Those figures cover the parent company rather than the consolidated group.[1]

NTPC cites generation and efficiency gains

The company attributed improved earnings to higher generation and operating efficiency. In the first half, its coal-fired stations used 75.11 per cent of capacity, compared with 68.35 per cent for other Indian coal stations. NTPC’s installed capacity exceeded 91 gigawatts, and the group targeted 60 gigawatts of renewable capacity by 2032.[1]
