16 May 2026

State-owned NHPC has reported a consolidated net profit of ₹1,549.42 crore for the fourth quarter of FY26.

This marks a whopping 68.5% jump from ₹919.63 crore in the same period last year.

The surge in profit was mainly due to an increase in revenue from operations, which rose by 20% year-on-year to ₹2,816 crore from ₹2,347 crore.

Slight decline in EBITDA
Financial performance

Despite the jump in profit, NHPC's EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) saw a slight decline of 0.7% to ₹1,196 crore from ₹1,205 crore in Q4 FY25.

The company's EBITDA margin also shrank to 42.5% from 51.3% a year ago.

This shows that while the company is making more money overall (in terms of revenue), its profitability per unit of revenue has decreased slightly compared to last year.
