By THE NEWSMAN OF INDIA.COM| India’s largest power generation company, NTPC Ltd., has once again demonstrated its financial strength and commitment to value creation by paying its second interim dividend of Rs 2,666.58 crore on 25 February 2026 for the financial year 2025–26. The dividend represents 27.50 percent of the company’s paid-up equity share capital, reflecting stable earnings performance and prudent financial management.

The dividend payment advice was formally presented by CMD Gurdeep Singh, along with members of the Board of Directors, to Union Minister for Power and Housing & Urban Affairs Manohar Lal. The occasion was attended by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary (Power), along with senior officials from the Ministry of Power and NTPC, underscoring the strong institutional coordination between the government and the public sector enterprise.

The payment assumes added significance as it marks the 33rd consecutive year of dividend distribution by NTPC, highlighting the company’s remarkable consistency in delivering returns to shareholders while maintaining operational expansion and infrastructure growth. Such a sustained dividend track record places NTPC among the most reliable wealth creators within India’s public sector ecosystem.

Over the decades, NTPC has evolved from a conventional thermal power producer into an integrated energy major, actively diversifying into renewable energy, green hydrogen, and sustainable power solutions. Its financial resilience has enabled the company to balance large-scale capital investments with regular shareholder rewards, reinforcing investor confidence.

The continued dividend payouts also reflect NTPC’s robust governance framework, efficient project execution, and strong cash-flow generation, even amid evolving energy transition challenges. As India accelerates its shift toward cleaner energy and growing electricity demand, NTPC’s performance demonstrates how public sector enterprises can simultaneously support national development priorities and maintain financial discipline.

The latest dividend announcement not only strengthens the government’s non-tax revenue stream but also reiterates NTPC’s position as a cornerstone institution in India’s power sector, combining growth, stability, and long-term stakeholder value.
