The latest announcement is out from OPG Power Ventures ( (GB:OPG) ).

OPG Power Ventures plc announced a significant change in the GST rate on coal in India, which will increase from 5% to 18% effective 22 September 2025. This change, along with the abolishment of the ₹400 per tonne compensation cess, is expected to increase the annual coal costs for OPG by approximately £2.5 million. The increase in GST will affect thermal power plants using imported coal, as they will see a rise in generation costs, impacting the company’s operational expenses and potentially affecting its market positioning.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:OPG) stock is a Hold with a £7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on OPG Power Ventures stock, see the GB:OPG Stock Forecast page.
