Focus on Renewable Energy:
- NTPC is aggressively expanding its renewable energy portfolio, including green hydrogen projects.
- They aim to have 45-50% of their energy capacity come from non-fossil fuels by 2030, with a shorter-term goal of achieving 60 GW of renewable capacity by 2032.
- Currently, they have 3,300 MW of installed renewable capacity, with 5,900 MW under construction and plans for 11,000 MW more in the pipeline.
- The company is confident about reaching 20,000 MW of renewable capacity by FY26. Additionally, NTPC is diversifying into areas like green hydrogen, nuclear power (through a joint venture with NPCIL), and more.
Strong Base Business:
- NTPC is unique in that it has been adding coal-based power generation capacity over the past five years, reaching a consolidated base of 73,000 MW. They have 9,300 MW of coal-based plants under construction, set to be commissioned by FY25-26.
- This expansion is expected to lead to an 11% growth in electricity generation, with above-average Plant Load Factors (PLF) in the thermal power business.
ICICI Securities has reported an estimated growth of 16.1% in EBITDA and 16% in PAT over FY23-25E, recommending a BUY rating on NTPC.
