NTPC Limited, a leading state-owned power company, recently disbursed an interim dividend of ₹2,424 Crore for the fiscal year 2024-25. This dividend, amounting to 25% of the company's paid-up equity share capital, was the first interim dividend paid in the current financial year. Gurdeep Singh, the company's CMD, along with the Board of Directors, facilitated this dividend payment, with a significant portion allocated to the government. Moreover, NTPC announced plans to establish a green hydrogen plant in Simhadri, Andhra Pradesh. The innovative approach involves utilizing waste heat from thermal power plant flue gas to convert saltwater into hydrogen-grade water, ensuring a cost-effective production process. This strategic move aligns with NTPC's focus on sustainable energy solutions and diversification. Additionally, the company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹5,380.25 Crore for the September quarter, reflecting a notable 14% increase from the previous year. Despite a slight decline in total income, NTPC's foray into green hydrogen production indicates a positive shift towards environmentally friendly practices and underscores its commitment to innovation in the power sector.
