Summary

- Floor price set at ₹71 per share, with strong non-retail demand.
- Analysts see long-term potential in India's premier green utility.
NHPC's offer for sale (OFS) is currently underway, presenting a potential entry point for long-term investors into India's leading green utility. The Indian government is divesting up to a 6% stake in the company through this OFS mechanism.
The sale commenced with non-retail investors on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, and is scheduled to open for retail investors on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. The floor price has been established at ₹71 per share, representing a discount to the previous day's closing price.
Strong demand was observed from non-retail investors on the first day, with the issue being subscribed 3.5 times. This OFS aligns with global energy security concerns and India's focus on bolstering domestic clean energy infrastructure.
Analysts suggest that while short-term price volatility may occur, NHPC offers a steady compounding story. Its transition into a diversified renewable energy player, encompassing hydro, pumped storage, and solar projects, underpins this long-term outlook.
