“The strong performance was supported by a 73 per cent increase in profits from subsidiary companies, which rose to ₹1,990 crore in Q2 FY27 from ₹1,149 crore in Q2 FY26,” NTPC said.

For the half year ended September 30, 2026, NTPC’s consolidated net profit increased to ₹14,247 crore from ₹11,334 crore in the corresponding period of the previous year, reflecting a growth of almost 26 per cent.
