The brokerage firm counts the company's robust product portfolio across diverse geographies, experience in renewable power execution, and access to low capital as positives for the company.  Regarding the risks, the research firm said that the company has a geographical risk with 62.2% of NTPC Green's operating capacity concentrated in Rajasthan. The company would face disruption if any political, economic, seasonal, or natural calamity occurred in Rajasthan, SBI Securities noted.

The company is also dependent on its top 9 off-takers for 98% of its revenue in the first half of FY25 and the loss of any one customer will deeply affect the company's financial condition.
