Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed its 'CRISIL AAA/FAAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+' ratings on the debt instruments, bank facilities and fixed deposit programme of NTPC Ltd (NTPC). Also, CRISIL Ratings has withdrawn its rating on bonds worth Rs 1,119.50 crore (see annexure: details of rating withdrawn), in line with its withdrawal policy based on independent confirmation of redemption of these instruments and company’s request.

 

The ratings continue to reflect dominant position of NTPC in the power generation sector in India, strong business and financial risk profiles, and strategic importance to the Government of India (GoI). These strengths are partially offset by weak credit risk profiles of customers.

Analytical Approach

CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of NTPC and its subsidiaries, associate companies and joint ventures, because of their strong operational and financial linkages.

 

The ratings factor in the expected support from GoI. CRISIL Ratings believes NTPC will, during exigencies, receive distress support from the government for timely servicing of debt, considering its strategic role in meeting nearly a quarter of India’s power generation, and given GoI’s 51.10% stake in the entity as on December 31, 2021.

 

Please refer Annexure - List of entities consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Dominant position in India's power generation sector

NTPC is India's largest power generation company, accounting for 17.22% of the overall installed capacity as on March 31, 2021 and 22.72% of the power generated in fiscal 2021. Consolidated installed capacity stood at 67.8 GW as of February 2021. With planned capacity addition of 12-13 GW in the next two fiscals, the company shall retain its dominant position in the power generation sector.

 

  • Strong business risk profile

NTPC’s thermal capacities are fully backed by long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs). These PPAs are based on the classic two-part tariff structure of Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), which ensures complete recovery of fixed expenses, including debt servicing charges. It also provides for fixed return on equity, based on achievement of the normative plant availability factor (PAF) mandated by the regulator, which NTPC continues to maintain. For fiscal 2021, the coal and gas-based plants reported PAFs of 91.43% and 95.37%, respectively (against 89.67% and 93.75% in the previous fiscal), well above their respective normative levels. The PAF levels fell to 88.10% and 89.44% for coal and gas-based plants, respectively, during the first nine months of fiscal 2022, yet remained above their respective normative levels and are expected to remain stable going forward.

 

Plant load factors (PLFs) of coal-based power plants were impacted by the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, with PLF falling to 58.22% compared to 73.91% in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal. Thereafter, increase in power demand with easing of lockdown and pick-up in the economic activity resulted in PLFs rising to 66% in fiscal 2021 and 69% during the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Cash flow was unaffected despite fall in PLFs during the pandemic, because of the presence of cost-plus regulated tariff structure, leading to recovery of costs based on the achievement of normative availability.

 

  • Healthy financial risk profile

Gearing is moderate while debt protection metrics are comfortable, and the liquidity is robust. Consolidated gearing increased slightly to 1.76 times as on March 31, 2021, from 1.56 times a year earlier owing to debt raised to fund capacity expansion. Though gearing is expected to increase further over the medium term (in line with yearly capital expenditure [capex] plan), it will remain comfortable as the funding mix will remain well within the stipulated norm of 70:30 (as prescribed by CERC). Liquidity is aided by consolidated cash and equivalent of about Rs 10,000 crore as on September 30, 2021. Though liquidity is expected to moderate due to ongoing capex, it is likely to remain healthy over the medium term.

 

  • Strategic importance to GoI

NTPC has been accorded the Maharatna status. As part of its divestment plan, GoI has pared its shareholding in NTPC over the past several years. However, it remains the majority shareholder with 51.1% as on December 31, 2021. The government will continue to provide need-based financial support, through guarantees, for foreign currency borrowing. NTPC also remains strategically important to GoI as it accounts for nearly a fourth of the power generated in the country.

 

Weakness:

  • Weak credit risk profile of customers

Customers (mostly state power utilities [SPUs]), have weak credit risk profiles; thus, timely collection of receivables is a key monitorable. However, collection efficiency of NTPC has been consistent at 98-100%. Hence, receivables were low at around 40 days over the five fiscals ended March 31, 2019. However, due to the pandemic and the ability of distribution companies (discoms) to pay generation companies on time being adversely impacted, receivables rose to 68 days as on March 31, 2020, which subsequently eased to 59 days as on March 31, 2021 with disbursement of funds to discoms under the Atma Nirbhar package. Receivables are expected to remain at 60 days in the near term, but collections are improving with easing of discoms’ liquidity through higher collection. The tripartite agreement between NTPC, state governments and the central government enables the company to recover its dues from defaulting SPUs, via the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) devolution to state governments.

Liquidity: Superior

Expected cash accrual of over Rs 25,000 crore per fiscal over the medium term will comfortably cover yearly debt obligation of Rs 12,500-13,000 crore. Liquidity is also supported by cash balance of about Rs 10,000 crore as on September 30, 2021, and sufficient cushion in the bank limit (bank limit of Rs 3,000 crore was utilised 50% as on December 31, 2021). Liquidity is likely to remain robust over the medium term despite the ongoing capex.

 

Environment, social, and governance (ESG)profile

CRISIL Ratings believes that NTPC’s Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) profile supports its already strong credit risk profile.

 

The power sector has a significant impact on the environment owing to higher emissions, water consumption and waste generation. This is because of generation of conventional power involves high dependance on natural resources mainly coal. The sector has social impact due to its nature of operations affecting local community and health hazards involved. NTPC is focused on mitigating its environmental and social risks.

 

Key ESG highlights

  • NTPC has well-defined sustainability goals as per its Brighter Plan 2032 initiative. It has deployed strategies to reduce the carbon footprint. It aims for a 17% reduction in CO2 emissions/unit generated by 2032 on base of 2012.
  • It aims to reduce SO2, NOX and particulate matter emissions by 79%, 50%, 61%, respectively by 2032 over base of 2012. It is in the process of installing flue gas desulphurisation systems across its entire thermal portfolio over the next three years.
  • NTPC also plans to increase renewable capacity to 60 GW by 2032, forming 50% of its total capacity by then, compared to ~7.7% as on March 31, 2021.
  • Further, it aims to reduce specific water consumption by 34% by 2032 over base of 2012. Till fiscal 2021 it has reduced specific water consumption by around 24% over 2012 levels, indicating its progress towards the target.
  • Its loss time injury frequency rate of 0.11 in fiscal 2021, which is lower compared to peers, represents healthy employee safety and wellbeing standards. Gender diversity is an improvement area, with around 5% of its employee being women in fiscal 2021.
  • The governance structure is characterised by 20% of its board comprising independent directors. However, there is no split in the chairman and CEO positions. It has a committee at the board level to address investor grievances and also put out extensive disclosures.

 

There is growing importance of ESG among investors and lenders. The commitment of NTPC to ESG principles will play a key role in enhancing stakeholder confidence, given its high share of market borrowing in its overall debt and access to both domestic and foreign capital markets.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL Ratings believes NTPC will continue to maintain its dominant position in India’s power generation sector, underscoring its strategic importance to GoI. The credit risk profile will remain healthy, supported by efficient operations, a regulated tariff structure and comfortable debt protection metrics.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Downward factors

  • Any change in the support philosophy of GoI, with its shareholding falling below 50%
