Indian markets are trading lower today, 22 May. The Nifty 50 index is down about 0.8%, trading below 24,650 at around 24,617 points. The BSE Sensex has dropped over 600 points, trading near 80,971 points.
The current weakness is partly due to global risk-off sentiment, influenced by concerns over the high US fiscal deficit and rising US bond yields.
Sector-wise, all major indices except the media index are trading in red, with IT, FMCG, and auto sectors leading the losses.
One stock that is rising sharply in a falling market is NTPC Green Energy.
Here's are the reasons for the same.
NTPC Green Energy reported a good quarterly results which impressed the markets. While revenues surged, net profits grew even faster.
The revenue from operations rose 22.4% year-on-year (YoY) to Rs 6,223 million (m) in Q4, up from Rs 5,081 m a year ago. Sequentially, revenue also increased over 23% from the previous quarter.
The consolidated net profit was Rs 2,332 m in Q4, up 188% YoY. Sequentially, profit surged 255%.
Buying interest from investors in the stock also stems from rapid expansion plans at the company.
NTPC Green Energy has an ambitious and multi-faceted expansion plan focused on rapidly increasing its renewable energy capacity and diversifying into emerging green technologies.
As of May 2025, NTPC Green has an installed capacity of 6 GW and an additional 12 GW under implementation. The company has visibility on over 21 GW of projects, with 80% planned in solar and 20% in wind energy. NTPC Green Energy plans to reach 60 GW by 2032.
To achieve its ambitious targets, the company is actively pursuing inorganic growth by acquiring operational solar projects with secured land.
Recently, through its joint venture ONGC NTPC Green, it acquired 100% equity in Ayana Renewable Power for Rs 62.48 billion (bn) expanding its portfolio in battery energy storage, offshore/onshore wind, and green chemicals.
The company has been growing rapidly, due to capacity expansion, acquisitions, large-scale investments, and technological innovation.
With a clear roadmap to reach 60 GW by 2032, supported by strong state partnerships and a diversified renewable portfolio primarily in solar and wind, the company is positioning itself as a leading player in India's clean energy transition.
Having said that NTPC Green Energy does face some risks. Changes in government policies, tariffs, or renewable energy incentives could impact project viability and returns, given the sector's dependence on supportive regulations.
Variability in renewable energy generation due to weather conditions, grid integration challenges, and off-taker credit risks may affect revenue stability.
Apart from this execution risk is also present, though the company has an established track record.
Over the last one month, the share price of NTPC Green Energy has gained 3.75% from levels of Rs 107.9 to the current levels of Rs 111.95.

The stock hit a 52-week high of Rs 155.3 on 4 December 2024. The stock also hit a 52-week low of Rs 84.6 on 3 March 2025.
