FY26 revenue growth was -0.6% at NTPC, 0.5% at Power Grid and -4.2% at Tata Power. P\/E stands at 11.00 for NTPC (industry 22.14), 15.04 for Power Grid (industry 22.14) and 21.34 for Tata Power (industry 22.14). Demand cycles, input costs and valuation decide how much of that growth the market keeps paying for, so each company&#8217;s risks need equal attention.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Power stocks give investors exposure to rising electricity use from homes, industry and data centres. Results depend on regulated returns, fuel costs and the pace of capacity additions, which is why capital spending plans and balance sheet strength matter as much as headline growth.<\/p>\n<p>This list covers three electricity generation stocks: NTPC for thermal and renewable power generation, Power Grid Corporation for inter-state power transmission and Tata Power for generation, distribution and renewable energy. Every figure comes from the latest reported financials and the 5 October 2026 market close. Companies without complete current figures were left out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a
