NTPC Limited has scheduled its 50th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Thursday, August 27, 2026 at 10:30 A.M. (IST) through Video Conferencing (VC)/Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM). The company simultaneously released its Integrated Annual Report 2025-26, which captures a landmark year of financial outperformance, record capacity additions, and accelerated clean energy transition.

Record Financial Performance in FY 2025-26

NTPC delivered its highest-ever consolidated Profit After Tax during FY 2025-26, driven by capacity additions, favourable tariff orders, and the second amendment to CERC Tariff Regulations, 2024. The following table summarises key financial highlights:

Metric: FY 2025-26 FY 2024-25 Change
Consolidated PAT: ₹27,545.76 crore ₹23,953.15 crore +15% YoY
Standalone PAT: ₹23,162.22 crore ₹19,649.41 crore +17.88% YoY
Consolidated EBITDA: ₹59,066 crore
Standalone Revenue from Operations: ₹1,65,493.74 crore ₹1,70,037.37 crore -2.67% YoY
Standalone Fuel Cost: ₹88,605.04 crore ₹97,060.24 crore -8.71% YoY
Consolidated EPS: ₹27.90 ₹20.26 (standalone basis)
Standalone Return on Net Worth: 13.77% 12.61%

Revenue from operations on a standalone basis decreased by 2.67% primarily due to lower Energy Sent Out (ESO) of 327.448 BU in FY 2025-26 compared to 347.292 BU in FY 2024-25, reflecting subdued power demand at coal power stations. This was partly offset by commissioning of new capacities and favourable tariff orders.

Dividend and Capital Expenditure

The Board has recommended a final dividend of ₹3.50 per equity share (35%) for FY 2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing AGM. Combined with two interim dividends of ₹2.75 per share each, the total dividend for the year amounts to ₹9.00 per share — representing a dividend payout ratio of approximately 37.68% and marking the 33rd consecutive year of dividend declaration.

Dividend Component: Rate per Share Amount (₹ crore) Payment Date
First Interim Dividend: ₹2.75 ₹2,666.58 crore November 25, 2025
Second Interim Dividend: ₹2.75 ₹2,666.58 crore February 25, 2026
Final Dividend (proposed): ₹3.50 ₹3,393.84 crore September 23, 2026 onwards
Total FY 2025-26: ₹9.00 ₹8,727.00 crore

Group capital expenditure (CAPEX) including Joint Ventures and Subsidiaries rose to ₹55,985.82 crore in FY 2025-26 from ₹48,594.59 crore in FY 2024-25. On a standalone basis, CAPEX reached ₹26,082.85 crore.
