Real prices, every charge counted. Pick one or write your own.NHPC Limited is India's largest hydropower generator, accounting for roughly 17% of the country's hydro capacity as of 2026, up from about 15% a few years ago as projects like Subansiri Lower and Parbati-II have been commissioned. The Government of India cut its stake from about 67% to roughly 61% via a share sale in June 2026. Unlike NTPC, NHPC's renewable energy arm remains an unlisted, wholly owned subsidiary rather than a separately traded stock.
Power & Renewables
Generates electricity mainly from large hydroelectric power stations across the Himalayan and northeastern river basins, with roughly 7,400 MW of its own capacity and over 9,300 MW across the group including joint ventures. A smaller solar and wind portfolio is being built through subsidiaries.
Sells power under long term power purchase agreements to state electricity distribution utilities (discoms), mainly in northern and eastern India, at tariffs regulated by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission.
Earns a cost-plus regulated tariff on its hydro generation assets, made up of fixed capacity charges plus a return on equity, so revenue is largely insulated from how much water actually flows or is dispatched in a given year.
