NTPC Green Energy, a subsidiary of NTPC, experienced a sharp rise in its share price before witnessing a quick decline. The company's stock movement coincided with its announcement of a substantial investment plan in Madhya Pradesh, amounting to over Rs 2 trillion.

As part of this initiative, NTPC Green entered into multiple memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the Madhya Pradesh government. The agreements focus on renewable energy development, with a key project involving the establishment of renewable energy capacity exceeding 20 GW. Additionally, another agreement was signed for the development of sustainable non-hydrocarbon fuel-based power plants, with an estimated investment of Rs 800 billion.

These initiatives align with India's broader strategy for energy transition and sustainability, supporting the country’s net-zero ambitions. The investments will be directed towards various renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and hydrogen-based power generation.

In the stock market, NTPC Green shares saw an upward movement on February 25 after a period of decline over the past five trading sessions. The stock opened at Rs 101.01, surpassing the previous closing price of Rs 98.40, and reached a high of Rs 103.22 during the session. However, the gains were short-lived as the stock lost momentum, dipping below the Rs 100 mark while still trading in positive territory.

The company's investment plans and stock movement reflect the increasing focus on renewable energy and the market’s response to large-scale sustainability projects.
