- NTPC Green shares fell 3% on Monday to trade at Rs 95.05 apiece, after jumping 10% in one week despite broader market weakness.
- JSW Energy shares dropped about 2% in the morning.
- Tata Power shares slipped over 1% in the morning, even though it had gained roughly 5% over the past week.
- World Meteorological Organisation reported a widespread signal for above‑average land surface temperatures during March‑May, contributing to heatwave warnings in Mumbai and high temperatures across Delhi, Rajkot, and other cities.
- JM Financial warned that persistent high LNG prices and intense summer heat could trigger a surge in coal‑fired generation to meet evening demand.
- JM Financial also projected a shortfall in hydro generation this summer due to deficient winter rainfall and snow cover, and noted that LNG supply shortages could strain gas‑fired generation (9 GW capacity) prompting possible activation of the ICB mechanism and higher utilization of existing thermal plants.
- India Meteorological Department later noted a slight temperature drop and issued warnings of thunderstorms, rainfall, and gusty winds, with heavy rain expected in the North‑East and eastern India.
Why it matters: Investors in the three power firms see immediate losses as shares tumble, while coal‑fired generators stand to gain from the anticipated surge in summer demand driven by high LNG prices and hydro shortfalls. The market shift underscores supply‑risk pressures on India's energy mix.
