NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), the renewable energy subsidiary of NTPC, will consider raising funds by issuing debentures—bonds or non-convertible debentures (NCDs)—in one or more tranches. The decision comes as NGEL speeds up its growth in India's rapidly expanding green energy market, backing its strong pipeline of solar, wind, and hybrid projects.

Key Highlights:

Strategic Fundraising Plan: NGEL's board will consider the proposal for raising capital in the form of debentures, which can be issued in several tranches, providing the flexibility to take advantage of market opportunities as and when required.
Purpose of the Issue: The proceeds of the issue are expected to be utilized for capital expenditure on new and existing renewable ventures, repayment of existing loans, and general corporate purposes, all in line with NTPC's overall strategy of expanding its green energy portfolio.
Track Record: NTPC and its affiliates have a consistent record of successful debt market issues, most notably recent issues of non-convertible debentures for ₹4,000 crore at competitive yields, reflecting investor confidence and prudent financial discipline.
Growth Plans: NTPC's plan to build 60 GW of renewable capacity by 2032 sees NGEL in a crucial part in driving that shift. It has also proposed an IPO, indicative of intent-driven growth and mobilization plans for capital.
Sector Influence: This equity offering exercise will increase the capacity for India's renewable sector, advancing domestic clean energy ambitions and fostering India's drive toward a low-carbon economy.
