Maharatna NTPC mulls ₹18,000 crore bond issuance

NTPC, a state-run power major, is looking to raise up to ₹18,000 crore by issuing bonds. The board will talk it over on June 21, 2025.
The company could offer a mix of secured or unsecured bonds (taxable or tax-free), following a recent ₹4,000 crore bond issue at a 6.89% interest rate for just over 10 years.

TL;DR

NTPC's financials and expansion plans

The money isn't just sitting around—NTPC plans to use it for expanding power projects, paying off old loans, and other business needs.
They're already running massive operations with over 81 GW of capacity and recently tested a new unit in Jharkhand.
Financially, things are looking solid: last quarter alone saw profits jump 22% to ₹5,778 crore on revenues of nearly ₹44,000 crore.
