Quarter read
What the record says.
IEX reported consolidated revenue of INR 133 crore (up 16.9% YoY) and PAT of INR 86.5 crore (up 21.5% YoY) for Q2 FY24, driven by a 15% increase in total traded volumes to 26.5 BU. Electricity volumes grew 17% YoY, while IGX volumes surged 262%. However, market share in the day-ahead market declined due to high power demand pushing DISCOMs toward bilateral contracts. Management expects volume recovery as supply conditions improve with higher coal production and easing prices. Key regulatory tailwinds include GNA implementation and new grid code, which should boost exchange volumes. Risks include potential market coupling (though management downplays near-term impact) and continued shift to bilateral trades during high-demand periods.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- IEX will file a petition with CERC in 10-15 days to offer contracts up to 11 months, expecting approval by end-December and launch from January 2024.
- Management expects improved volumes in coming months due to GNA regulations, with October electricity volume growth already at ~20%.
- Management believes CERC has not taken a view on market coupling; even if pursued, implementation would take 1.5-2 years.
Risks flagged
- CERC is evaluating market coupling; if implemented, it could disrupt IEX's dominant market position. Management downplays likelihood but acknowledges potential impact.
- In Q2, high power demand led DISCOMs to prefer bilateral contracts over exchange, reducing IEX's market share. This trend could recur during peak demand periods.
- Green market volumes remain low despite policy support; management acknowledges need to improve liquidity but faces execution challenges.
Key quotes
- We do believe that current market operations of IEX will continue undisturbed.
- The overall philosophy of transmission planning has changed. Efforts are made to enable adequate transmission capacity addition, which will secure a congestion-free transmission system and reduce volume loss due to congestion.
- We have seen historically, prices are lowest at this particular segment.
