  • 2.NTPC demonstrated strong execution with 9.6GW of capacity added in FY26; management targets adding 9.5-10GW per year in FY27 and FY28.
  • 3.The tightening power supply-demand balance in India, with peak deficits at 3-year highs, supports a constructive growth outlook and potential stock re-rating.
