Asian stocks are mostly weaker on Thursday, while the dollar and U.S. Treasuries were largely steady ahead of crucial US inflation data that could provide fresh clues on when the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates.

Chinese stocks, though, rebounded from Wednesday's sharp decline to keep them on track for their best month since November 2022.

US stock slid Wednesday as investors looked ahead to a key inflation report due later this week.

Here's a table showing how US stocks performed on Wednesday:

NTPC's Green Energy IPO Plan

NTPC, India's leading power producer, aims to launch an initial public offer (IPO) for its wholly owned subsidiary, NTPC Green Energy, in the next financial year (FY25).

The company plans capital expenditure (capex) of about Rs 100 bn on the renewables side this year and around Rs 150-200 bn next year. Bhargava said the company typically puts in about 20-25% of the amount as equity.

A Bernstein report recently noted that many renewables companies that had gone the IPO route had ended up remerging the companies with the parent entity.

Bhargava pointed out that there are reports that also suggest that there is a need to go to the market as early as possible.

Amidst India's transition and India's commitment to going ahead and reducing its carbon footprint, NTPC Green Energy plans to have 60 gigawatt (GW) of green capacity by FY32, out of the larger basket of 400 GW of renewable capacity, which the country will have.

Along with its existing capacity, which stands at 3.5 GW, the company is working on a pipeline of close to about 25-26 GW - out of which 8 GW is under construction, another 10 GW under tendering and another 10-12 GW will be tendered out soon.

A lot of the capacity addition plans of NTPC Green Energy are from the solar energy segment.

The power giant is committed to the development of renewable energy in the country and its potential to decarbonise the energy sector.

Coal India signs JV Agreement with BHEL

Coal India & Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) signed a Joint Venture agreement in New Delhi for setting up an ammonium nitrate plant through surface coal gasification (SCG) technology.

The plant to come up in Lakhanpur area of Mahanadi Coalfields Limited, Odisha, is planned to produce 2000 tons of ammonium nitrate per day initially. The annual production is slated at 6.6 Lakh tons, which requires 1.3 million tonnes (mts) of coal.

The coal will be supplied by CIL. BHEL would bring to the table indigenously developed pressurized fluidized bed gasification (PFBG) technology for this purpose.

Notably, ammonium nitrate is a major ingredient in manufacturing of bulk explosives, which CIL uses in large quantities in its OC mining operations, a major source of its coal production.
