📉 Portfolio Projection Graph

Below is an illustrative graph showing how a ₹5,00,000 phased investment could grow with NHPC’s entry and exit strategy (2025–2035). The cumulative value rises with each project milestone, profit booking, and reinvestment cycle, before stabilizing with long-term dividend holdings.

🌍 Key Takeaways

  • Best Buy Phases: Before major project commissioning (2025, 2026, 2027, 2031).

  • Profit Booking Windows: After mega hydro projects go live (2027–28, 2029–30, 2032–33).

  • Expected Price Trajectory: From ~₹90 (2025) → ~₹220–250 (2032–33).

  • Long-term Dividend Play: Even after exits, NHPC offers strong dividends, making it a steady PSU hold.

✅ With this roadmap, an investor can time entries before growth waves and exit after rallies, targeting 2x–2.5x returns over a decade, while keeping a portion for dividend stability.
