NTPC Green Energy Limited submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 to the exchanges on August 5, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 34(2)(f) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

The company maintained a zero-fatality record and reported no high-consequence work-related injuries or illnesses for both employees and workers. Additionally, the entity recorded zero complaints related to sexual harassment, discrimination, child labor, or forced labor during the period.
Key Financial and Operational Metrics
The report provides detailed insights into the company’s resource utilization and environmental impact. Total energy consumption stood at 8,38,772 GJ, with 6,74,102 GJ sourced from renewable sources. Water withdrawal totaled 6,50,139 Kilo-Litres, primarily from groundwater (5,26,300 Kilo-Litres) and third-party sources (84,534 Kilo-Litres). Greenhouse gas emissions were reported at 618.77 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent for Scope 1 and 30,847.72 metric tonnes for Scope 2.
| Metric | FY26 Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Installed Capacity | 10,076 | MW |
| Total Energy Consumption | 8,38,772 | GJ |
| Renewable Energy Share | 6,74,102 | GJ |
| Scope 1 Emissions | 618.77 | Metric Tonnes CO2e |
| Scope 2 Emissions | 30,847.72 | Metric Tonnes CO2e |
| Total Waste Generated | 236.80 | Metric Tonnes |
Governance and Regulatory Disclosures
Under Principle 1 of the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct (NGRBC), the company disclosed a monetary penalty of ₹23,600 (including GST) imposed by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Management filed an appeal against this penalty, and no amount was deposited towards it as of the reporting date. The company also noted that 97.27% of employees other than the Board and Key Managerial Personnel were covered by training programs on ESG principles.
Capital expenditure for FY26 was directed entirely toward renewable energy generation assets, aligning with the company’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The report estimates that renewable generation avoided approximately 6.71 million tonnes of CO₂eq emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity. CSR activities included spending in aspirational districts such as Jaisalmer (₹115.92 lakh) and Rajgarh (₹16.36 lakh), focusing on health infrastructure and assistive aids for persons with disabilities.
What the Numbers Show
A notable divergence exists between the company’s environmental footprint and its waste management efficiency. While total waste generated decreased significantly to 236.80 metric tonnes from 818.38 metric tonnes in FY25, the recovery rate remains low. Only 34.95 metric tonnes were recovered through recycling or reuse, while 201.85 metric tonnes were disposed of through other operations. This suggests that while absolute waste volumes are declining—likely due to optimized operations—the circularity mechanisms for end-of-life materials require further enhancement to align with the company’s broader sustainability goals.
