Shareholding Pattern
NGEL is a wholly owned subsidiary of listed public sector undertaking NTPC Ltd.
Post the IPO, NTPC's stake in NGEL will reduce from 100% to 89.01%, while public shareholding will stand at 10.99%.
Business
NGEL is NTPC Ltd.'s renewable energy arm, which was incorporated in 2022.
The company's total portfolio stands at 25.67 gigawatts, with an operational portfolio of 2.93 GW. Its contracted and awarded capacity stands at 14.7 GW and projects under pipeline stand at 10.98 GW. Its total portfolio consists of 20.32 GW of solar capacity and 5.35 GW of wind capacity.
As of financial year 2024, NGEL's market share, depending on how many bids it won, stood at 7%. This has declined from 18% in fiscal 2022, according to Morgan Stanley.
The company also plans to expand its portfolio and intends to install battery energy storage systems and hybrid contracts. The company is also developing a green hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh.
Financials
NGEL revenue in the first half of the fiscal stood at 51% of its top line in the last fiscal.
The management expects growth to come in as it commissions capacity. The company will be adding 3 GW of capacity to its 3.3 GW operational capacity in the fiscal. It then expects to commission 5 GW of capacity in fiscal 2026, 8 GW in fiscal 2027.
NTPC Green Energy IPO: Key Risks
The company derived more than 87% of its revenue from its top five offtakers in the fiscal. Its single-largest offtaker contributes around 50% to its revenue. Thus, loss of key customers can impact operations.
The business' profitability is dependent on the availability and cost of solar modules, solar cells, wind turbine generators and other materials. Any supply disruption or volatility in prices can impact the business.
Renewable energy project construction activities may be subject to cost overruns or delays.
As of the first half of fiscal 2025, 62.20% of NGEL's operating renewable energy projects are concentrated in Rajasthan. Any significant social, political, economic or natural calamities in Rajasthan can have an adverse effect on the business.
