Today, on 28th March 2025, National Hydroelectric Power Corporation or NHPC share prices increased since the beginning of the morning session. CLSA, the brokerage firm, maintained its rating of High-Conviction Outperform.
CLSA attributed its reason to the anticipated commissioning of NHPC’s Parbati-II hydroelectric project in Himachal Pradesh by early April. This project has been facing complications that caused a delay of 25 years. It was planned for completion within seven years. The revamping of Parbati-II could increase NHPC’s capacity by 11.5% and produce regulated equity by FY26.
CLSA’s reiteration of its rating follows its reports on NHPC in February of this year when NHPC’s stock dropped by 25%. CLSA stated that buying NHPC stock during that time was an opportune moment for investors.
