NHPC shares experienced a notable increase of 5.1% on the Bombay Stock Exchange, reaching an intra-day high of ₹75.99, following the Government of India's decision to exercise the greenshoe option in the ongoing offer for sale (OFS). This move raised the total offer size to 60,27,02,088 equity shares, which constitutes 6% of NHPC's total paid-up equity as of March 31, 2026. The OFS opened for non-retail investors on June 2, 2026, while the retail window will open on June 3, 2026, allowing retail investors to bid for 6,02,70,210 shares, representing 10% of the total offer. The base offer size was also doubled, increasing from 30,13,51,044 to an additional 30,13,51,044 shares. Despite the rise in share price, analysts indicate that NHPC is in a weak-to-neutral technical position, with immediate support levels near ₹72-73 and resistance around ₹78-80. A sustained move above ₹80 is deemed necessary for a potential recovery.
