The country also registered a generation growth of 17.17% in the quarter one of 2022.
The growth in demand augurs well for the company. These numbers coupled with 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative indicate that there is huge potential for growth in the power sector going forward.
NTPC is a market leader in power generation, supplying around 23% of the country's electricity supply and thus plays a key role in India's economic activity.
NTPC share price ended the day up by 3.5% on the BSE.
Speaking of the power sector, it's interesting to note the power exchanged in India is about 4.5% of the overall power production, as can be seen in the chart below.
As per Tanushree Banerjee, Co-Head of Research at Equitymaster, India's power sector is currently in transition. It's driven by increasing reliance on short-term contracts and electricity spot markets.
This transition to the short-term market is happening due to quickly evolving industry dynamics.
Tanushree believes the Indian power sector will see a surge in spot power volumes due to certain factors.
