About NTPC Green Energy

Incorporated in 2022, NTPC Green Energy Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC Limited. It is the largest renewable energy public sector enterprise (excluding hydro) in terms of operating capacity as of 30 September 2024 and power generation in FY24. 

NTPC Green Energy, along with its parent company, NTPC Limited, has demonstrated a track record of developing, constructing and operating renewable power projects driven by experienced in-house management and procurement teams.

Its energy portfolio includes solar and wind power assets in multiple locations in more than six states. It has an operational capacity of 3,220 MW of solar projects and 100 MW of wind projects as of 30 September 2024. 

The company undertakes utility-scale renewable energy projects, as well as projects for public sector undertakings (PSUs) and Indian corporations. It has entered into long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) or Letters of Award (LoAs) with central government agencies like the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) or state government agencies or public utilities. It also offers operating and maintenance services. 

As of 30 September 2024, the company’s portfolio comprised 16,896 MWs, including 3,320 MWs of operating projects and 13,576 MWs of contracted and awarded projects. In addition, its capacity under pipeline, where a definitive agreement has yet to be signed, is 9,175 MWs. Hence, the overall capacity could stand at 26,071 MWs upon execution of ongoing projects. 

In FY24, the company generated 5,712.48 kWh million of electricity with a capacity utilisation factor of 23.86%. As of 30 September 2024, NTPC Green operates 17 solar projects and 2 wind projects to generate 3,242 kWh million electricity units. 

Moreover, the company has 17 offtakers across 41 solar projects and 11 wind projects. It has long-term PPAs with these power offtakers, which have an average term of 25 years.

Between FY22 and FY24, it saw a CAGR rise of over 29% in its revenue from operations and 53.7% in its profit. Moreover, renewable energy is a growing industry as India aims to achieve about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030, which could benefit the company. 

Now, NTPC Green Energy Limited is launching its initial public offer (IPO). The total IPO issue size is ₹10,000 crore, comprising entirely the fresh issue. Its shares will be listed on the NSE and BSE.

2. Among the top 10 renewable energy players in India in terms of operational capacity as of 30 June 2024.

5. Growing revenues with strong credit ratings and operating EBITDA margins of 87%, 90%, and 88% in FY22, FY23, and FY24, respectively.

Risks and threats

1. Concentrated pool of utilities and power purchasers for electricity generated by its plants and projects as it derived 45% of its revenue from operations from its largest offtaker in Q1 FY25.

4. Faces significant competition from both traditional and renewable energy companies.
5. The time gap between making significant upfront investments in its projects and receiving revenue could adversely affect its business and finances.
6. Unfavourable weather conditions could significantly impact its business prospects, as electricity generation from solar and wind sources depends heavily on suitable meteorological and climate conditions.
7. Restrictions on imports could adversely affect the company's business as it imports equipment like solar module cells and components of wind turbine generators from China.
8. Has incurred substantial indebtedness amassing to ₹15,276 crore as of 30 June 2024 and exposed to the risk of volatility in interest rates.
