Quarter read
What the record says.
IEX reported a solid Q3 FY25 with consolidated revenue of INR 160.5 crore (+13.7% YoY) and PAT of INR 107.3 crore (+16.9% YoY), driven by 30.5 BU electricity volumes (+16% YoY) and a 26% YoY decline in DAM prices to INR 3.71/unit. Volume growth was supported by ample coal availability, competitive imported coal prices, and regulatory tailwinds like LPSC amendments. The RTM segment grew 30% YoY to 9.3 BU, while REC volumes surged 31% YoY. Management guided for 15-20% volume growth in FY26, contingent on GDP-linked power demand growth of 6-7%. Key risks include potential market coupling implementation (though delayed) and competitive pressure on transaction fees.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects 15-20% volume growth in FY26, assuming GDP-linked power demand growth of 6-7% and continued supply-side improvements.
- CERC has admitted the petition for green real-time market; management expects launch within 2-3 months after public consultation and hearing.
- Hearings completed, order reserved; management expects launch within 3-4 months, potentially opening a 40 BU market.
- Management expects up to 2 GW of renewable capacity (including VPPA and merchant) to participate in spot markets by end of FY25.
Risks flagged
- CERC has ordered a shadow pilot study for market coupling; if implemented, it could reduce IEX's market share and innovation edge.
- Management acknowledged giving incentives in term markets to match competition, which could pressure revenue growth relative to volume growth.
- Volume growth is tied to GDP-linked power demand; any economic slowdown could impact exchange volumes.
- Long-duration contracts and green RTM are pending CERC approval; delays could push back volume growth expectations.
Key quotes
- If Indian economy has to grow at a rate of 7%-8%, then power demand in the country has to definitely grow at a rate of 6%-7%. And if that happens, we are quite confident that we will be able to achieve a growth of 15%-20%.
- In case of coupling, we are doing a lot of customer-centric activities to ensure customer loyalty, and we should be able to retain a significant market share.
- If you look at the order of CERC dated 6th of February, in that order itself, CERC has mentioned that if one of the exchanges has 99% market share, and as the common sense will say, coupling 99% with 1% will not lead to any benefit.
