On Monday, the NTPC shares jumped 2 percent in opening trade touching a day’s high price of Rs. 351.20 per share on NSE after the company released its Q4FY25 and FY25 financial and operational results to the exchanges, reflecting its growth in profit, revenue, and capacity expansion.

For Q4FY25, NTPC reported a consolidated net profit (PAT) of Rs. 7,897 crore, marking a significant 21.68 percent year-on-year (YoY) increase from Rs. 6,490 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. This profit surge was driven by a 4.6 percent rise in consolidated operational revenue to Rs. 49,833.70 crore, up from Rs. 47,628.19 crore in Q4FY24. The PAT jumped 52.75 percent from Rs. 5,169.69 crore in Q3FY25, while revenue increased 10.57 percent from Rs. 45,069.43 crore in the previous quarter. The revenue from power generation alone stood at Rs. 49,352.99 crore, growing from Rs. 44,088.40 crore in Q3FY25 and Rs. 47,088.70 crore in Q4FY24. Further, NTPC earned Rs. 4,431.09 crore as others during the quarter.

For the full fiscal year FY25, NTPC achieved a consolidated net profit of Rs. 23,953.15 crore, representing a healthy 12.3 percent growth compared to Rs. 21,332.45 crore in FY24. The company’s total income for FY25 reached Rs. 1,90,862.45 crore, up 5.35 percent from Rs. 1,81,165.86 crore in the previous year. The annual revenue from operations reported at Rs. 1,88,138.06 crore, a 5.38 percent increase over FY24’s Rs. 1,78,524.80 crore. These figures showcases NTPC’s ability to grow in the rising energy demand.

NTPC’s Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of Rs. 3.35 per equity share for FY25, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. This final dividend adds to two interim dividends of Rs. 2.50 each declared earlier in November 2024 and February 2025, bringing the total dividend payout for FY25 to Rs. 8.35 per share on a face value of Rs. 10 each. This dividend policy reflects NTPC’s consistent dividend payouts to reward its shareholders while maintaining its financials.

Operationally, NTPC continued to expand its capacity and improve efficiency. The NTPC Group added 3,972 megawatts (MW) of capacity during FY25, with a significant portion, 3,312 MW coming from renewable energy sources. This growth aligns with NTPC’s focus on clean energy. Notably, NTPC launched India’s first Green Hydrogen Hub in Andhra Pradesh, marking a huge step in the country’s transition to green fuels. The company’s coal-based power stations achieved a Plant Load Factor (PLF) of 77.44 percent.

NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), the subsidiary of NTPC, had recently released its financial results and posted around a 188 percent increase in consolidated net profit in Q4FY25 to Rs. 233 crore, which was driven by higher income and operational scale. NGEL’s performance highlights NTPC’s growing presence in the renewable energy sector, complementing its traditional power generation business.

The market responded positively to NTPC’s strong results and dividend announcement. On May 26, 2025, NTPC’s share price opened at Rs. 351, up from the previous close of Rs. 344.60.
