📌 My View:
After a period of sideways consolidation, NLC India is showing renewed strength on the back of green energy expansion and institutional confidence. Technical breakout aligning with fundamental triggers.
🔍 Key Fundamental Developments:
✅ ₹7,000 Cr Green Energy Push: Cabinet clears exemption allowing NLC to invest in its subsidiary NLC India Renewables Ltd (NIRL) without prior approval – a strategic leap toward 10.11 GW renewable capacity by 2030.
✅ NIRL IPO Incoming: ₹4,000 Cr IPO planned in next FY Q2 to fund expansion – will unlock value and strengthen balance sheet.
✅ Leadership Move: Rajesh P. S. Sisodia (from BHEL) recommended as Director (Planning & Projects) – indicates focus on project execution.
✅ Q4 FY25 Result: ₹656.2 Cr net profit – strong YoY growth; FY25 performance signals revival momentum.
✅ Diversification Strategy: Thermal + Lignite core remains, but RE & IPO push signals structural evolution.
