NTPC Limited has signed a termination agreement with Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and NTPC EDMC Waste Solutions Private Limited (NEWS) to end their joint venture formed in June 2019. NTPC is acquiring MCD's entire 26% stake (52,000 equity shares at Rs 10 face value) for Rs 5.2 lakh in cash. Post-acquisition, NEWS becomes NTPC's wholly-owned subsidiary. NEWS operates in waste management and energy generation, with recent turnover of Rs 1.28 lakh in FY 2024-25. The transaction, classified as a related party deal, is exempt from Audit Committee approval as it involves two government entities. The acquisition aims to consolidate NTPC's 'Waste to Wealth' business under one entity, with completion expected in Q1 FY 2026-27.
This acquisition strengthens NTPC's full control over its waste-to-energy venture, eliminating joint venture complexities. The small acquisition cost of Rs 5.2 lakh has negligible financial impact but signals strategic intent to consolidate non-core but emerging business lines. The stock is unlikely to see any immediate price movement due to this small transaction.
