NLC India shares rose 9% intraday on Wednesday, 4 Nov 2026, after the state-run mining and power producer reported higher September-quarter profit and announced shareholder and funding measures. Business Today reported that the stock reached ₹250.85, compared with a previous close of ₹230.15, while market capitalisation rose to ₹34,783 cr. OI Charts data shows the stock had closed at ₹230.31 on 3 Nov, down 3.4% on the day, with volume of 29.4 lakh shares.
Business Today reported Q2 net profit of ₹1,328 cr, up 83% year on year from ₹724.80 cr, while revenue increased 13.25% to ₹4,732.35 cr from ₹4,178 cr. CNBC TV18, cited in the earlier bulletin, reported net profit of ₹1,381 cr against ₹665 cr in the year-ago quarter. The revenue figures were broadly consistent, but the profit numbers differed between the reports. The company’s operating performance remains important because the earlier report showed EBITDA falling 2.3% to ₹1,368 cr and the margin narrowing to 28.9% from 33.5%. ⚡
The board recommended an interim dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share, representing 15% of the ₹10 face value, for FY27. It fixed 12 Nov 2026 as the record date, giving the market a specific near-term date for determining eligible shareholders. The board also approved raising up to ₹2,500 cr through bonds, adding a financing development for the capital-intensive energy and mining businesses.
The company’s proposed renewables-arm IPO remains another valuation catalyst. The board had approved an offer for sale of up to 10 crore shares, but the issue size, price band and timetable were not disclosed. 🌱
For traders, the combination of stronger reported profit, the dividend and the funding plan is balanced by weaker recent price momentum. OI Charts data shows the stock was down 12% over 20 sessions and remained below its 52-week high of ₹387.80 recorded on 14 May 2026. The next points to watch are the 12 Nov record date, the bond-issue details, formal renewables IPO documentation and whether future results improve EBITDA margins.
