Key Details

Important Clarification From NHPC

NHPC clarified that it did not engage ESG Risk Assessments & Insights Limited to prepare or assign the ESG score.

According to the company, the ESG assessor independently prepared its report using NHPC’s publicly available data.

This clarification is important because the score should not be interpreted as an ESG rating commissioned or directly obtained by NHPC.

What Does the Score Mean?

An ESG score is generally used to assess a company across environmental, social and governance-related factors.

For investors, such scores can provide an additional reference point when evaluating a company’s sustainability and governance profile. However, the score should be considered alongside financial performance, business fundamentals and other disclosures.

Bottom Line

NHPC has disclosed an ESG Score of 48, while clearly stating that it did not commission the assessment. The score is based on information available in the public domain.
