NTPC Q2 revenue rises 16.8%; EBITDA misses estimates
In short
NTPC reported Q2 revenue of ₹45,752 crore, up 16.8% from a year earlier, and EBITDA of ₹10,891 crore, up 8.7%. CNBC-TV18’s summary also said standalone profit rose 14% and NTPC declared a ₹3 interim dividend.
This matters because investors watch revenue, profit, and margins for signs of strength. The report says EBITDA and margins missed estimates, but it does not give the full profit number or explain why margins were weaker.
What the reporting says
NTPC reported Q2 revenue up 16.8% year on year to ₹45,752 crore, while EBITDA rose 8.7% to ₹10,891 crore.

Why it matters
NTPC’s Q2 update showed higher revenue and EBITDA, but the market reaction may be tempered by the miss versus estimates on EBITDA and margins. The publisher summary said revenue reached ₹45,752 crore and EBITDA ₹10,891 crore, while standalone profit rose 14% and an interim dividend of ₹3 was declared. The available reporting does not give the complete standalone profit figure or the cause of the margin shortfall.
