What happened
FactNTPC said an AD HOC News article dated 20th October 2026, titled “NTPC Posts 7.43 Percent Profit Growth; Buyback Sets Date for NTPC Stock”, is factually incorrect and misleading. The company said the statements do not correspond with its stock-exchange disclosures and that it is seeking corrective action from the publisher.
Why it matters
CapitSignal interpretationA buyback returns cash by retiring shares, so the benefit to a holder depends on the price paid, how many of their shares are accepted, and what the stub is worth afterwards.
