Key highlights from NTPC's financials include a significant improvement in its operating profit to interest ratio, which reached 4.95 times, marking the highest level in the past five quarters.

Furthermore, the company's debt-equity ratio has reached its lowest point in the last ten half-yearly periods at 1.44 times, reflecting a strategic reduction in borrowing relative to equity.

However, the financial results also reveal challenges, particularly in earnings per share (EPS), which has declined to Rs 5.22, the lowest in five quarters, indicating a decrease in profitability for shareholders.

Overall, NTPC's recent financial performance has led to a revision in its score, highlighting the mixed nature of its current standing in the market.
