NTPC Green Energy Sets Ambitious Path with Rs 1 Lakh Crore Investment in Renewables Ahead of IPO

NTPC Green Energy aims to invest up to Rs 1 lakh crore in solar and wind assets by FY27. It plans to raise Rs 10,000 crore through an IPO and leverage its strong credit rating for debt financing. The company targets increasing capacity to 19,000 MW by 2027.

NTPC Green Energy, preparing for its initial public offering, is planning to invest up to Rs 1 lakh crore in its solar and wind energy projects by the fiscal year 2027, according to top company officials.

Chairman and managing director Gurdeep Singh stated that the company expects 20% of the investment to come from equity, needing Rs 20,000 crore of its own funds for expansion. With Rs 10,000 crore set to be raised in the IPO, NTPC Green Energy will leverage internal accruals for further resources.

The company's strong credit rating under NTPC's auspices facilitates favorable debt terms, Singh noted. NTPC Green Energy aims to escalate its capacity from 3,220 MW currently to 19,000 MW by March 2027, supported by a substantial focus on solar energy.
