NTPC Acquires MCD's 26% Stake in NEWS for ₹5.2 Lakhs, Becomes Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
NTPC Limited acquired MCD's 26% stake in NTPC EDMC Waste Solutions Private Limited (NEWS) for ₹5.2 Lakhs on 7th May 2026. This makes NEWS a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC. The acquisition is expected to be completed by Q1 FY 2026-27.
While the financial value of the acquisition is relatively small, it signifies NTPC's strategic move to consolidate its operations in the waste management sector, which could have medium-term implications for its business diversification and sustainability initiatives.
The acquisition strengthens NTPC's control over its waste management subsidiary, consolidating its Waste to Wealth business and leading to 100% ownership.
NTPC Limited has announced the execution of a Termination Agreement on 7th May 2026, with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and NTPC EDMC Waste Solutions Private Limited (NEWS). This agreement terminates the Joint Venture Agreement dated 11th June 2019 and facilitates NTPC's acquisition of MCD's 26% shareholding, comprising 52,000 equity shares, in NEWS.
Following this acquisition, NEWS will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC. The acquisition is part of NTPC's strategy to consolidate its Waste to Wealth business within this subsidiary. The transaction is for a cash consideration of ₹5,20,000 (52,000 equity shares at a face value of ₹10 per share).
The acquisition is expected to be completed in the first quarter of FY 2026-27. Although this is a related party transaction, approval from the Audit Committee is exempted as it involves a listed PSU and a local authority. NTPC already held 74% in NEWS, and with this acquisition, its shareholding will increase to 100%. NEWS was incorporated on 01.06.2020 for waste management and energy generation, with reported turnovers of ₹0.34 Lakhs in 2022-23, ₹0.29 Lakhs in 2023-24, and ₹1.28 Lakhs in 2024-25.
