NTPC Q2 results 2026 show the state-owned power generator’s consolidated net profit rising 38.7% in the July-September quarter, along with its first interim dividend of FY27. The board declared an interim dividend at 30% of the Rs 10 face value, which is Rs 3 per share, and fixed 6 November as the record date.
NTPC Q2 Results: key numbers
- Consolidated net profit attributable to owners: Rs 7,029.56 crore, up 38.7% from Rs 5,066.78 crore
- Revenue from operations: Rs 54,269.95 crore, up 21.2% from Rs 44,784.05 crore
- Total income: Rs 54,715.69 crore, up from Rs 45,262.10 crore
- Total expenses: Rs 48,059.30 crore, up from Rs 40,218.03 crore
- Fuel cost: Rs 28,628.19 crore, up from Rs 23,062.34 crore
Fuel cost rose about 24% in the quarter, slightly faster than revenue, yet consolidated profit grew faster than both. The filing figures do not break down the reason for the profit growth beyond these cost lines.
Interim dividend details
NTPC described the payout as its first interim dividend for the financial year 2026-27. According to the BSE filing, the record date to decide which shareholders are eligible is 6 November, and the dividend is expected to be paid within the statutory period starting from 25 November 2026.
Share price
NTPC shares closed 2.23% higher at Rs 316 on the BSE on Friday, with a market capitalisation of Rs 3,06,414.65 crore. Those figures are from Friday’s close, the last trading session before the board declared the dividend on Saturday. The stock rose about 6% over the past week but has fallen 1.86% over one month, 8.27% over three months and around 20.82% over six months.
Why it matters
The record date of 6 November decides which shareholders are eligible for the payout, and the payment is expected from 25 November 2026 onwards. The stock has risen over the past week but remains lower over the past three and six months, so the dividend and the profit growth are the key figures for shareholders to track in the coming weeks. The gap between the share price trend and the profit growth is the point investors are likely to weigh as the record date approaches.
