NTPC is reportedly planning a large coal-to-synthetic natural gas facility with a capacity of 5-10m tonnes per year. Producing SNG from its own coal would lower dependence on imported LNG, which is prone to price and supply volatility.

Motilal Oswal Report

In the Q2 FY26 NTPC Ltd. management commentary, it highlighted its vision to take the group capacity to 244GW by 2037. Medium-term capacity addition targets were guided at 9.8/9.6/10.5 GW in FY26/27/28.

We maintain our cautious view due to execution challenges, especially at NTPC Green Energy Ltd. Further, we believe valuations for NGEL (15% of our SoTP) have little room for rerating and may continue to face pressure.

Our SoTP-based target price of Rs 370 for NTPC is premised on: Value of Rs 201 for the standalone, coal, and other businesses at Dec’27E P/B of 2x. 

Value of Rs 18 for other subsidiaries and Rs 45 for JV/associate, both at Dec’27E P/B of 2x.

The stake in NGEL is valued at a 25% discount to the current market price.
