As per the analyst's venture’s IPO, along with the expansion into green hydrogen and battery storage, NGEL is also developing a hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh and grid-scale storage facilities for RE integration. Its strong ties with NTPC enable it to access low-cost debt at approximately 7 percent, supporting its ambitious growth strategy, said analysts at Elara Capital.

The government’s target of 450GW of renewable capacity by 2030F, supported by inter-state transmission charge waivers, renewable purchase obligations (RPOs), and a Rs 19,700 crore Green Hydrogen Mission, creates robust growth opportunities. Additionally, reducing solar module prices at $0.09 per watt-peak and rising hybrid project tariff (Rs 3.15-3.20/kWh) improve project viability and sectoral profitability
