Joint Venture Approved for Green Energy Push
NTPC Green Energy Ltd. announced Thursday that its board has greenlit the formation of a 50:50 joint venture (JV) company with GAIL (India) Ltd. The new entity will focus on developing renewable energy projects, a strategic move by the state-owned power giants.
The agreement, finalized during a board meeting on January 15, 2026, is contingent upon receiving the nod from the Ministry of Power, the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM), and other relevant regulatory bodies. This collaboration aims to accelerate the expansion of green energy initiatives.
Strong Financial Performance Underpins Growth
NTPC Green Energy has demonstrated robust financial health, reporting a substantial 131.6% year-on-year surge in net profit to ₹88 crore for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Revenue climbed 21.5% to ₹612.3 crore during the same period.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) saw a 26% increase, reaching ₹529.6 crore. The company's EBITDA margin also improved to 86.5% from 83.4% in the prior year's comparable quarter, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency.
Strategic Role in NTPC's Green Ambitions
NTPC Green Energy, a subsidiary of NTPC Ltd., serves as the primary vehicle for the parent company's green business endeavors. It pursues projects through both organic and inorganic strategies, driving NTPC's ambitious target of achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by fiscal year 2032. The JV with GAIL is expected to play a crucial role in this expansion.
Shares of the parent company, NTPC Ltd., saw a modest uptick, closing at ₹91.71 on the BSE on Wednesday, January 14, marking a 0.17% gain. This JV signals continued strategic investment in renewable infrastructure by major public sector undertakings.
