Quarter read
What the record says.
IEX reported a strong Q2 FY25 with consolidated revenue of ₹167.8 crore (+26.2% YoY) and PAT of ₹108.3 crore (+25.2% YoY). Total trading volume surged 38.2% YoY to 36.7 billion units, driven by robust growth in green market volumes (+246% YoY) and real-time market (RTM) volumes (+31% YoY). Market share in electricity stood at ~83%. Management highlighted favorable regulatory tailwinds including CERC's draft on Term-Ahead market standardization, stricter DSM norms, and mandatory sale of unrequisitioned power on exchanges. Diversification into coal exchange and EPR trading platforms is under evaluation. Key risks include potential market coupling implementation (though management downplays its likelihood) and delays in regulatory approvals for new products like the 11-month contract.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects India's power demand to grow at ~7% CAGR, with incremental demand of ~130 billion units, a good portion coming to exchanges.
- IEX has filed for approval of an 11-month contract; hearings are complete and order is reserved. Launch expected after regulatory nod.
- IEX is exploring diversification into coal exchange and EPR trading platforms, subject to government decisions and regulatory approvals.
Risks flagged
- CERC is conducting pilot studies on market coupling; if implemented, it could reduce IEX's dominance. Management expressed confidence it won't happen but acknowledged potential impact.
- Approval for the 11-month contract and Green RTM is pending with CERC, with no clear timeline, delaying potential volume growth.
- REC volume growth relies on state regulators enforcing RPO compliance; weak enforcement could limit demand despite lower prices.
Key quotes
- I am very sure coupling is not going to happen, so let us not worry about that. And in case coupling happens, we have ways and means to ensure that we are able to retain our market share.
- We wanted to be rational in charging our fees.
- As India marches towards achieving its net zero target, there is bound to be a growing role of power exchanges in the country's energy landscape, and IEX shall continue to be part of this journey.
