State-run NTPC is looking to source low-cost re-gasified liquid natural gas (RLNG) from spot markets overseas to improve its margins that have taken a hit in recent quarters. While the cost of coal, on which over 90% of the company’s power generation depends, has remained flat, it is circumscribed by the norm that the revenue from power produced from subsidised gas can be used only to service debt.

The subsidy policy is basically aimed at running some stranded gas-based pants and ensure a mechanism for debt servicing, so that these assets don’t become NPAs.

NTPC, the largest state-owned power generator, posted an increase of 40% in its profit during quarter ending September 2015.

The unaudited profit after tax (PAT) for the Q2 of FY 2015-16 was Rs 2,898.28 crore as compared to the Rs 2,071.63 crore during same period last fiscal.
