NTPC share price finished September 17 at ₹329.60, up ₹2.60 or 0.80%. Trading opened at ₹328 after a previous close of ₹327. The stock moved between ₹327 and ₹331 during the session, leaving just ₹4 between the displayed high and low. It closed ₹2.60 above the low and ₹1.40 below the high.

Volume reached 5,877,448 shares. NTPC's market capitalisation stood at ₹3,19,602 crore. The annual range extended from ₹316 to ₹414. At ₹329.60, the latest close was only ₹13.60 above the 52-week low and ₹84.40 below the high, placing the share much nearer the lower annual boundary.

Moving averages also remained above the closing value. The 50-day DMA was ₹341, a difference of ₹11.40. The 100-day DMA stood at ₹349.60, or ₹20 above the close. The 200-day measure was ₹353, leaving the largest gap at ₹23.40.

Recent return readings were negative across every period displayed. One-month performance was -3.06%, while the three-month return stood at -7.30%. The six-month figure was -13.81% and the one-year return -1.63%. The largest decline among those windows was therefore recorded over six months rather than one year.

September 17 itself was comparatively stable. The stock opened ₹1 above the rounded previous close and remained inside a ₹4 range before finishing near the upper end of that band. Its 0.80% daily gain did not move the price above any of the three cited moving averages, and the 52-week low remained less than ₹14 away. The annual high-low span was ₹98, far wider than the session's ₹4 range. With nearly 5.9 million shares traded, the day's data combined relatively high volume, a small trading band and a close that remained near the lower end of NTPC's 52-week range.
