AI summary

NTPC issued a clarification stating that a news article published on Ad Hoc News claiming 7.43 percent profit growth and an upcoming buyback is factually incorrect and misleading. The company said the statements do not match any of its official disclosures to stock exchanges and is seeking corrective action from the publisher.

Likely market impact

Investors should ignore the news article; no credible NTPC buyback or profit growth confirmation exists from official sources.
