State-run hydropower giant NHPC Ltd has posted a steady performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, registering a consolidated net profit of ₹1,065 crore, up 4.2% from ₹1,022 crore in the same period last year. The profit growth was primarily driven by robust revenue gains, with total income rising 19.3% year-on-year to ₹3,214 crore from ₹2,694 crore.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 12% to ₹1,802 crore compared to ₹1,609 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. However, operating margins saw a slight decline, easing to 56.1% from 59.7%, indicating increased operating costs despite higher top-line growth.

The company’s stock showed mild optimism ahead of the earnings release, closing at ₹83.83 on the NSE, up 0.46%. Investors appeared encouraged by NHPC’s consistent profitability and healthy revenue trajectory.

In a separate development, NHPC announced that it successfully raised ₹2,000 crore on August 12, 2025, through the issuance of unsecured, redeemable, non-convertible, non-cumulative, and taxable 6.40% NHPC AG Series Bonds 2027 via private placement. This fundraising move is expected to strengthen the company’s financial position and support its ongoing and upcoming infrastructure projects.

With a stable earnings growth, strong revenue performance, and strategic fundraising, NHPC continues to reinforce its position as a leading player in India’s hydropower sector, maintaining investor confidence while pursuing long-term expansion plans.
