INDIA'S NTPC FOURTH-QUARTER PROFIT RISES 30% ON POWER OUTPUT - BLOOMBERG


NTPC Ltd., India’s biggest electricity generator, said profit rose 30 percent in the fourth quarter after higher efficiency helped production.

Net income in the three months ended March 31 was a provisional 17.4 billion rupees ($345 million), Chairman R.S. Sharma said in New Delhi today. That compares with 13.4 billion rupees a year earlier.

Higher earnings will help NTPC almost double generation capacity by 2012 to meet energy demand and end blackouts in the world’s second fastest-growing major economy. The company’s shares have risen 57 percent from a 52-week low on Oct. 27, compared with a 26 percent gain in the benchmark Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index.

“NTPC’s profits may rise between 5 percent and 7 percent this year on additional capacity and new regulation that allows it higher returns,” said Abhineet Anand, an analyst at Antique Stock Broking Ltd.

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission allowed generators a higher rate of return on equity investments in the year that started April 1. The rate was increased to 15.5 percent from 14 percent, the power sector regulator said Jan. 20.

NTPC commissioned 1,000 megawatts and expanded commercial capacity by 2,000 megawatts in the year to March, Sharma said. This year, NTPC plans to commission 3,300 megawatts.

“Incremental capacity may only come toward the end of the year,” Anand said.

Installed Capacity

Installed capacity, including that of joint ventures, stood at 30,144 megawatts on March 31, Sharma said. Capacity in the year ended March 2008 was 29,394 megawatts, according to the utility’s annual report.

“Our profit rose in the fourth quarter because of higher efficiency,” director of finance A.K. Singhal said. “Our plant load factor rose 6 percent.” He didn’t provide more details.

NTPC plans to import 12.5 million metric tons of thermal coal this year to help meet a shortfall in fuel requirements and expects to produce 15 million tons of coal a year locally by March 2012.

“We are starting coal production soon,” Sharma said. “That will help us substantially reduce our imports.”

The company plans to spend 177 billion rupees on expansion this financial year and may raise 113 billion rupees in loans, Singhal said.

Generation capacity may climb to 50,000 megawatts by 2012 and 75,000 megawatts by 2017, Sharma said Sept. 17. The company aims to help cut peak-hour power shortages in India, which stood at a provisional 13.8 percent in the 11 months to February, according to the Central Electricity Authority.

Profit for the year ended March 31 rose 5.6 percent to 78.27 billion rupees while net sales rose to 421.82 billion rupees, the utility said in a statement in New Delhi. The figures are provisional and haven’t been audited, NTPC said.

Sales in the fourth quarter were 118 billion rupees, Singhal said.

NTPC shares rose 6.7 percent to close at 196.9 rupees in Mumbai trading, the biggest gain since Jan. 16.
