NTPC Green Energy, the renewable energy arm of NTPC, on Wednesday filed preliminary papers with capital markets regulator Sebi to raise Rs 10,000 crore through an initial public offering (IPO).

The initial share-sale is entirely a fresh issuance of equity shares with no offer-for-sale (OFS) component, according to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP).

The renewable energy firm said proceeds of the issue to the tune of Rs 7,500 crore will be used to repay or prepay part or all of its subsidiary NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd’s (NREL) outstanding loans, while a portion will be utilised for general corporate purposes.

The filing comes at a time when the country’s IPO market is thriving, with around 60 main board companies having launched their initial share-sales this year so far.

NTPC Green Energy is a ‘Maharatna’ central public sector enterprise with renewable energy portfolio, including solar and wind power assets spread across more than six states.

As of August 2024, the company’s operational capacity comprised 3,071 MW from solar projects and 100 MW from wind projects, across six states.

Overall, the NTPC group aims to reach 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032. Currently, it has 3.5 GW of installed capacity and over 28 GW in progress.

India’s renewable energy sector is growing rapidly. Globally, India is ranked fourth in renewable energy capacity, including wind and solar installations, the draft papers said, citing a Crisil report.

The country’s installed renewable energy capacity increased from 63 GW in FY12 to 123 GW in FY21, reaching about 191 GW by March 2024 (including large hydro). As of March 2024, renewable energy made up nearly 43 per cent of India’s total power generation capacity, with solar energy leading this growth, it added.
