29 January 2026: Q3 Results Trigger Profit-Taking
The release of NTPC Green Energy’s Q3 FY26 results on 29 January marked a turning point for the stock. The company reported a steep 80% plunge in profit, primarily attributed to soaring interest costs. This disappointing earnings performance weighed heavily on investor sentiment, leading to a 1.37% decline in the stock price to Rs.92.29. Despite the Sensex continuing its upward trajectory with a 0.22% gain to 36,266.59, NTPC Green Energy’s retreat highlighted the market’s negative reaction to the earnings shock. Trading volume remained steady at 398,748 shares, reflecting cautious selling pressure.
30 January 2026: Sharp Intraday Low and Closing Decline Amid Price Pressure
On the final trading day of the week, NTPC Green Energy faced significant selling pressure, hitting an intraday low of Rs.87.66 before closing at Rs.86.21. This represented a steep 6.59% drop from the previous close, far exceeding the Sensex’s 0.22% decline to 36,185.03. The stock’s intraday low was just 3.81% above its 52-week low of Rs.84.60, signalling heightened vulnerability. Volume surged to 875,712 shares, indicating intensified liquidation. Technical analysis revealed the stock trading below all key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, underscoring sustained downward momentum. This sharp fall capped a week of underperformance, with the stock losing 4.54% overall while the Sensex gained 1.62%.

Key Takeaways
Profit Decline Weighs Heavily: The 80% plunge in Q3 FY26 profit due to rising interest costs was the primary catalyst for the stock’s weakness, triggering profit-taking and dampening investor confidence.
Technical Weakness Intensifies: The stock’s breach of all major moving averages and the sharp intraday low on 30 January indicate sustained selling pressure and a lack of immediate support levels.
Volume Surge Signals Strong Selling: The spike in trading volume on the last day of the week confirms heightened liquidation activity, reinforcing the negative momentum.
Underperformance vs Market and Sector: NTPC Green Energy’s 4.54% weekly loss starkly contrasts with the Sensex’s 1.62% gain, highlighting company-specific challenges amid a generally positive market backdrop.
Conclusion
NTPC Green Energy Ltd experienced a challenging week marked by disappointing quarterly results and intensified price pressure. Despite a midweek rally, the stock ultimately succumbed to selling momentum, closing the week significantly lower and underperforming the broader market. The sharp decline and technical breakdown suggest caution as the stock navigates near-term headwinds. Investors should closely monitor upcoming developments and market conditions to assess any potential stabilisation or further downside risks.
