Strategic Objective Behind the Move
The monetisation initiative is part of NHPC’s broader financial strategy to:
- Unlock value from operational assets
- Improve capital efficiency and liquidity
- Strengthen balance sheet flexibility
- Support future investments in renewable energy projects
This move enables NHPC to raise funds without diluting ownership or operational control of its assets.
Focus Projects: Uri-II and Dhauliganga
The monetisation will primarily involve:
- Uri-II Hydropower Station – a key asset in NHPC’s northern region portfolio
- Dhauliganga Power Station – an important contributor to the company’s hydroelectric generation capacity
Both projects generate stable returns, making them suitable for structured cash flow monetisation.
Regulatory Compliance and Disclosure
NHPC confirmed that the board meeting commenced at 12:30 PM and concluded at 2:00 PM on April 14, 2026. The company has complied with Regulation 30 of SEBI LODR norms, ensuring timely disclosure to stock exchanges.
