NTPC Limited has confirmed its 50th Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Thursday, August 27, 2026, via Video Conferencing (VC)/Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), following the mandatory newspaper publication of its notice as required under Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013. The meeting aims to transact key business including the approval of a ₹3.50 per share final dividend and a special resolution to raise up to ₹12,000 crore through Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs). This corporate action follows the release of record financial results for FY26, where consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) rose 15% to ₹27,545.76 crore, driven by capacity additions and favorable tariff orders.

Financial Performance and Dividend Payout

The Integrated Annual Report 2025-26 highlights a landmark year for NTPC, with standalone PAT increasing by 17.88% to ₹23,162.22 crore. While standalone revenue from operations declined slightly by 2.67% to ₹1,65,493.74 crore due to lower Energy Sent Out (ESO), this was offset by operational efficiencies and new capacity commissioning. The Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹3.50 per equity share, bringing the total dividend payout for FY26 to ₹9.00 per share, marking the 33rd consecutive year of dividends.

Renewable energy capacity crossed 10 GW, with 11,547 MW commissioned and 15,040 MW under execution. The Coal Station Plant Load Factor (PLF) stood at 72.04%, significantly higher than the all-india average of 63.20%.

NTPC Limited submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY 2025-26 on August 4, 2026, disclosing significant environmental progress including a 22.28% reduction in SOx emissions and a 172% increase in renewable energy consumption. The report, assured by TUV India Private Limited under a reasonable assurance framework, underscores the company's transition toward cleaner energy while maintaining operational safety standards. These developments signal a strategic shift in India’s largest power generator as it balances thermal dominance with decarbonization goals.

The filing complies with Regulation 34(2)(f) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

SOx emissions fell to 12,47,429.06 metric tonnes from 16,05,071.00 metric tonnes in FY 2024-25, attributed to the installation of Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) units. Total water consumption declined by 7.33% to 96,75,49,046.55 kilolitres, reflecting enhanced recycling and efficiency measures. Renewable energy consumption surged by 172% to 16,339.18 TJ, largely due to increased biomass usage, though it still constituted only 0.48% of total energy consumed.

Strategic Targets and CSR Impact

NTPC reaffirmed its long-term sustainability targets, aiming for 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by FY 2032 and a 12% reduction in energy intensity by the same period.
