NHPC Limited has approved a proposal to monetise future cash flows, specifically the return on equity (RoE), from its Uri-II and Dhauliganga power stations for a period of 10 years. The decision was taken at a board meeting held on April 14, 2026, and disclosed to stock exchanges on Tuesday.
The monetisation will be executed in a single tranche during the financial year 2026ā27. The company did not disclose the expected proceeds from the transaction or identify potential investors.
