NTPC Limited has paid a final dividend of Rs 3,393.83 crore for the financial year 2025-26, taking its total dividend payout for FY26 to Rs 8,727 crore.
The final dividend, paid on Wednesday, represents 35 per cent of NTPC’s paid-up equity share capital. The payout comes on top of two interim dividends of Rs 2,666.58 crore each, paid in November 2025 and February 2026.
With the final payment, NTPC has distributed a total dividend of Rs 9 per equity share for FY26, against the face value of Rs 10 per share.
The FY26 payout also extends NTPC’s record of dividend distribution to 33 consecutive years.
Rs 8,727 crore distributed to shareholders
The company’s dividend structure for FY26 comprises:
- First interim dividend: Rs 2,666.58 crore
- Second interim dividend: Rs 2,666.58 crore
- Final dividend: Rs 3,393.83 crore
- Total FY26 payout: Rs 8,727 crore
- Total dividend per share: Rs 9
The final dividend was recommended by the NTPC Board at Rs 3.50 per share and subsequently paid following shareholder approval. NTPC’s corporate disclosures also recorded September 2026 as the payment period for the final dividend.
Dividend alongside aggressive expansion
The payout comes at a time when NTPC is simultaneously stepping up investment in generation capacity and new-energy businesses.
NTPC’s FY26 investor presentation showed group capital expenditure of Rs 49,068 crore, compared with Rs 44,636 crore in FY25. Its gross fixed assets rose to Rs 4.71 lakh crore as of March 31, 2026.
The company is targeting 149 GW of total capacity by 2032, with renewable energy expected to form a significant part of its future portfolio. NTPC currently has more than 91 GW of installed capacity, with additional capacity under construction.
Strong FY26 financial performance
NTPC reported consolidated profit after tax of Rs 27,546 crore in FY26, up from Rs 23,953 crore in FY25, representing a growth of around 15 per cent. Adjusted PAT stood at Rs 19,530 crore, up 8 per cent year-on-year.
The company is also expanding beyond conventional power generation into areas including renewable energy, energy storage, waste-to-energy, nuclear power, green hydrogen and e-mobility.
The latest dividend thus combines continued shareholder distributions with a substantial investment programme aimed at expanding NTPC’s generation capacity and diversifying its energy portfolio.
