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.
IEX ने Q2 FY24 में 133 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 16.9% ज़्यादा है। मुनाफा 86.5 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 21.5% बढ़ा। इसकी वजह बिजली और गैस के कारोबार में 15% बढ़ोतरी थी। बिजली का कारोबार 17% और गैस का 262% बढ़ा। लेकिन, दिन-भर के बाजार में हिस्सेदारी घटी क्योंकि बिजली की ज़्यादा मांग के कारण कंपनियों ने सीधे सौदे करना शुरू कर दिया। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि कोयला उत्पादन बढ़ने और कीमतें कम होने से कारोबार फिर बढ़ेगा। नए नियमों से भी मदद मिलेगी। जोखिम में बाजार में बदलाव और सीधे सौदों की ओर रुझान शामिल है।

What Changed vs Last Quarter
NEW
Launch of 11-month long-duration contracts by January 2024
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.
NEW
Expect volume growth from GNA implementation
Management expects improved volumes in coming months due to GNA regulations, with October electricity volume growth already at ~20%.
NEW
Market coupling implementation unlikely in near term
Management believes CERC has not taken a view on market coupling; even if pursued, implementation would take 1.5-2 years.
DROPPED
FY24 volume growth target of ~15%
Management expects total electricity volume to grow around 15% in FY24, supported by July volumes already up 22%.
DROPPED
Long Duration Contracts volume target >5 BU in FY24
Management expects volumes in the Long Duration Contracts segment to exceed 5 billion units in FY24.
DROPPED
Carbon credit exchange launch within FY24
IEX plans to launch its voluntary carbon credit exchange platform within the current financial year.
NEW RISK
Shift to bilateral trades during high demand
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.
NEW RISK
Delays in green market liquidity
Green market volumes remain low despite policy support; management acknowledges need to improve liquidity but faces execution challenges.
RISK GONE
Lower-than-expected power demand growth
Q1 FY24 electricity consumption grew only 1.8% YoY due to cooler weather, below the anticipated 8-9%.
RISK GONE
Gas exchange volume decline
IGX volumes declined 9% YoY in Q1 due to higher domestic gas availability under long-term contracts, reducing spot market participation.
