National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Ltd, a MiniRatna Category I Enterprise, stands as one of the largest organisations in the field of hydroelectric power development in India. Established by the Government of India, NHPC is dedicated to the planning, development, and implementation of an integrated and efficient network of hydroelectric projects across the country. Over the years, NHPC has evolved into a key player in India's energy sector, contributing significantly to both hydro and renewable energy development.
Incorporation and Initial Years NHPC Ltd was incorporated on November 7, 1975, initially operating under the name National Hydro Electric Power Corporation Pvt Ltd. It was later converted into a public limited company on April 2, 1986. The company was primarily established to plan, promote, and organise the development of hydroelectric power in India. Over time, its objectives expanded to include the development of power through both conventional and non-conventional sources in India and abroad.
Early Projects In 1976-77, NHPC received its first assignment — the Loktak hydroelectric project, with a capacity of 105 MW from the Government of India. The following year, the Baira Siul hydroelectric project, with a capacity of 180 MW, was entrusted to NHPC. Over the next few years, NHPC made significant strides, commissioning the Baira Siul power station in Himachal Pradesh (1982-83) and the Devighat power station in Nepal (1983-84).
Expansion and Growth Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, NHPC expanded its operations extensively, setting up various power stations across India and even abroad. Notable developments during this period included the commissioning of the Chamera I power station (540 MW) in Himachal Pradesh and the Uri power station (480 MW) in Jammu & Kashmir.
International Presence NHPC's international endeavours include the execution of the Kurichhu hydroelectric project (45 MW) in Bhutan and consultancy services for projects in neighbouring countries like Nepal and Myanmar. This marked the company's transition into a global player in the hydroelectric sector.
Domestic Projects
NHPC has successfully commissioned several large-scale hydro projects across India. Some of the most notable include:
NHPC has also expanded its footprint internationally, especially in neighbouring countries like Bhutan and Nepal. Some key international projects include:
Renewable and non-Hydro Projects
NHPC has diversified its energy portfolio by venturing into renewable energy projects like solar and wind power. Some key renewable energy projects include:
NHPC is also actively involved in setting up rooftop solar power systems at its various locations and has commissioned a 1 MW rooftop solar power plant at its Faridabad residential complex.
Revenue Growth
Net Profit
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
When compared to other major players in the Indian power sector, such as NTPC Ltd and Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd, NHPC stands out as a leader in the hydroelectric power segment. However, its diversification into solar and wind energy is not as extensive as NTPC's, which has a larger renewable energy portfolio.
NTPC Ltd: NTPC is primarily focused on thermal and renewable energy, with a total installed capacity of over 65 GW. Although NTPC has a more diversified portfolio, NHPC remains the largest dedicated hydropower company.
Power Grid Corporation: While Power Grid focuses on power transmission, NHPC is more involved in power generation, particularly in the hydro sector.
NHPC's stock performance has been stable over the years, with consistent returns to shareholders. In comparison:
NTPC's stock tends to be more volatile due to its exposure to thermal power and higher operational risks.
Power Grid Corporation's stock, being more reliant on transmission, offers lower growth potential but higher stability.
As India moves towards its goal of reducing carbon emissions and increasing the share of renewable energy in its energy mix, NHPC is poised to play a critical role. With the government's focus on achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, NHPC's expertise in hydroelectric power and its push towards solar and wind energy projects position the company as a key player in the country's clean energy future.
Contribution to Renewable Energy
NHPC’s notable contributions in renewable energy include:
Solar Projects: NHPC has commissioned several solar power projects, including a 50 MW solar plant in Uttar Pradesh and rooftop solar installations across its facilities.
Wind Projects: The company commissioned its first wind power project in Rajasthan, with a capacity of 50 MW.
NHPC has several projects in the pipeline that will contribute to India’s renewable energy goals. These include:
NHPC Ltd has emerged as a leader in the hydroelectric power sector, both in India and globally. With a strong financial background, government backing, and a focus on renewable energy, NHPC is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory. As the company diversifies its energy portfolio and expands its renewable energy capacity, it will play a crucial role in shaping India’s sustainable energy future.
For investors looking at stable, long-term growth in the renewable energy sector, NHPC Ltd presents a compelling opportunity.
