Axis Direct's research report on NTPC
Adjusted PAT (Rs 26 bn) was up just 2% YoY despite 6% YoY increase in regulated equity to Rs 440 bn. This can be attributed to lower incentives reflected in generation being up just 2% YoY (63.8 bn units). From Q3, change in mode of calculation of Gross calorific value (GCV) of coal from “as fired” measured in boiler to “as received” from coal wagons at unloading point was done.
