The company has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), marking the beginning of its IPO journey.

Employees of NTPC Green Energy who hold shares in the parent company also have an advantage. They can participate in the IPO under three categories – shareholder, eligible employees, and retail – potentially allowing them to bid up to ₹6 lakh. This increased participation could lead to a higher chance of IPO allotment.
