Motilal Oswal Report

NTPC Ltd.'s adjusted net profit in Q2 FY26 was 4% above our estimate, mainly supported by higher-than estimated other income. Ebitda missed our estimate as weak power demand led to soft generation trends. Management highlighted its vision to take 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 a cautious view on execution, especially at NTPC Green Energy.

Further, we believe valuations for NTPC Green Energy (15% of our SOTP) have little room for rerating and may continue to face pressure.

We reiterate our Neutral stance on NTPC with a target price of Rs 372.
