According to the company’s regulatory filing, NTPC has signed a termination agreement with MCD and NEWS to formally conclude the joint venture arrangement that was originally established in 2019.
The agreement marks a restructuring step within NTPC’s sustainability and waste management business portfolio.
NTPC to Acquire Remaining 26% Equity Stake
As part of the transaction, NTPC will acquire MCD’s entire 26% equity stake in NEWS.
Currently, NTPC holds a 74% ownership stake in the company. After completion of the acquisition, NTPC’s shareholding will rise to 100%, resulting in NEWS becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary.
The acquisition is expected to be completed during the first quarter of FY27, subject to procedural formalities and execution requirements.
Acquisition Cost Fixed at ₹5.20 Lakh
NTPC disclosed that the acquisition consideration has been fixed at ₹5.20 lakh.
Under the agreement, the company will acquire 52,000 equity shares from MCD at face value, with each share carrying a face value of ₹10.
The transaction will be carried out through cash consideration.
The company stated that the move is intended to consolidate and streamline its waste-to-energy operations under direct ownership.
NEWS Focuses on Waste Management and Energy Generation
NTPC EDMC Waste Solutions Private Limited operates in the waste management and waste-to-energy segment.
The company was incorporated in June 2020 as a joint venture between NTPC and the erstwhile East Delhi Municipal Corporation.
Its operations are primarily focused on:
- Municipal waste processing
- Waste-to-energy generation projects
- Urban waste management infrastructure
- Sustainability-linked energy initiatives
The subsidiary forms part of NTPC’s broader diversification efforts beyond conventional thermal power generation.
NTPC Expanding Presence in Sustainability Businesses
NTPC has increasingly expanded into renewable energy, green hydrogen, waste-to-energy, and sustainability-focused projects as part of its long-term business strategy.
The consolidation of NEWS under full ownership aligns with the company’s focus on strengthening operations in cleaner and environmentally focused infrastructure businesses.
Waste-to-energy projects are becoming increasingly important in urban infrastructure development, particularly in large cities where municipal waste management remains a major challenge.
The acquisition is expected to support NTPC’s operational flexibility and management control over the subsidiary’s future activities.
Share Price Remains in Focus
Following the announcement, NTPC shares remained active during Thursday’s trading session.
As of May 8, 2026, at 9:44 AM, NTPC share price was trading at ₹400.35 per share, reflecting a gain of 1.39% compared to the previous closing price.
Market participants continued to monitor developments related to the company’s diversification strategy and sustainability-linked business expansion.
Focus on Waste-to-Energy Sector Continues
The waste-to-energy segment has increasingly gained attention in India as urban waste generation rises and cities focus on sustainable waste disposal systems.
Companies operating in this space are participating in projects linked to municipal waste treatment, renewable energy generation, and circular economy initiatives.
NTPC’s decision to fully consolidate NEWS reflects the growing importance of integrated waste management and sustainable energy solutions within the broader infrastructure and utilities sector.
Conclusion
NTPC has signed an agreement with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to acquire the remaining 26% stake in NTPC EDMC Waste Solutions Private Limited. Following the transaction, the waste management company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC. The move strengthens NTPC’s presence in the waste-to-energy and sustainability-focused business segment as the company continues to diversify beyond traditional power generation operations.
