India's largest hydropower company, however, has not yet finalized the assets to be securitized and discussions are on, the people said on the condition of anonymity.

The company didn't respond to queries on the target for FY26.

However, in response to a query from Mint, an NHPC spokesperson said: "For FY25, it is informed that the company has achieved the monetization target of ₹2,000 crore by securitization of free cash flow (return on equity) of Dulhasti Power Station, UT of Jammu & Kashmir, for next 8 years with total proceeds of ₹2,348.45 crore."
