IEX reported a solid Q4 FY24 with consolidated revenue of INR 149.3 crore (+15% YoY) and PAT of INR 96.7 crore (+9.5% YoY), driven by 30.1 BU electricity volume (+15.7% YoY) and strong REC volumes. Growth was fueled by improved sell-side liquidity from regulatory measures (URS mandate, Shakti policy amendments) and lower coal/gas prices. Management expects FY25 volume growth of >15% on 7-8% demand growth, with REC and green segments growing 25-30% and 50% respectively. Key risks include potential market coupling (though management downplays near-term impact) and slower-than-expected shift from bilateral to exchange trading.
IEX ने वित्त वर्ष 2024 की चौथी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल कमाई 149.3 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 15% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 96.7 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 9.5% बढ़ा। इसकी वजह बिजली की बिक्री में 15.7% की बढ़ोतरी और नवीकरणीय ऊर्जा प्रमाणपत्रों की मजबूत मांग थी। सरकार के नियमों में बदलाव और कोयला-गैस की कम कीमतों से भी मदद मिली। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि अगले साल बिजली की मांग 7-8% बढ़ेगी और उसकी बिक्री 15% से ज्यादा बढ़ेगी। नवीकरणीय ऊर्जा और ग्रीन सेगमेंट में 25-50% तक वृद्धि हो सकती है। हालांकि, बाजार में बदलाव और धीमी शिफ्ट जैसे जोखिम भी हैं।
