Shares of NHPC, India’s leading hydropower producer, surged by 5% in trading today, reflecting strong investor confidence. The rally comes amidst favorable developments, including the company’s ongoing expansion in renewable energy projects and its consistent performance in the power sector.
NHPC recently received a Letter of Intent from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited for a 200 MW solar project, with an estimated investment of ₹846.66 crore. Additionally, the company is progressing on multiple large-scale projects, such as the 1,200 MW Jalaun Ultra Renewable Energy Power Park in Uttar Pradesh and a 300 MW solar plant in Rajasthan, aligning with India’s renewable energy goals.
Despite a decline in third-quarter profit earlier this year, NHPC’s robust financial profile and strategic investments in renewable energy have bolstered its market standing. Analysts have highlighted the company as a strong investment option, with long-term growth prospects driven by its focus on renewable energy and hydropower expansion.
This upward movement in NHPC’s stock demonstrates the market’s confidence in the company’s role as a major player in India’s transition to sustainable energy.
