R.K. Chaudhary, Chairman and Managing Director, NHPC, handed over the dividend payout advice to Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal. The event was attended by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary (Power), along with other senior officials from the Ministry of Power and NHPC.

For FY24, NHPC reported a PAT of Rs 37.43 billion, slightly lower than the Rs 38.33 billion recorded in FY23. At the company's Annual General Meeting on August 28, 2024, a final dividend of Rs 0.50 per equity share was approved, adding to the interim dividend of Rs 1.40 per equity share, bringing the total dividend to Rs 1.90 per equity share or 19% of the face value for the fiscal year.
