Strategic Alliance for Green Energy Development
NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a subsidiary of NTPC Limited, has entered into a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Uttar Pradesh on January 22, 2026. The agreement, signed on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, aims to foster the development of renewable energy and green hydrogen projects within the state. The pact was executed by Vijay Kiran Anand, CEO of Invest UP and UPSIDA, and DMR Panda, Executive Director of NGEL, in the presence of Uttar Pradesh's Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna and other state officials. This collaboration aligns with Uttar Pradesh's broader ambitions to establish itself as a leader in green energy technology and production, including its Green Hydrogen Policy. The state envisions reaching a production capacity of 1 million metric tonnes of Green Hydrogen/Ammonia annually by 2028 and plans to establish four Centers of Excellence dedicated to green hydrogen research and development.
Robust Financial Performance Underpins Expansion
The strategic partnership is supported by NGEL's recent financial results. For the second quarter of the fiscal year 2026, which concluded on September 30, 2025, NGEL reported a consolidated net profit of ₹88 crore. This represents a substantial year-on-year increase of 131.6% compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year [cite: Source A]. The company's revenue also saw considerable growth, rising by 21.5% year-on-year to ₹612.3 crore. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) reached ₹529.6 crore, reflecting a 26% increase and an improved EBITDA margin of 86.5% from 83.4% in the prior-year period [cite: Source A]. These figures have been largely verified by market reports indicating a net profit of approximately ₹87.59 crore and revenue around ₹612.29 crore for the quarter.
