IEX reported Q4 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹196.4 crore (+12.5% YoY) and PAT of ₹129.8 crore (+10.8% YoY), driven by record quarterly electricity volumes of 39.4 BU (+24.3% YoY) and strong RTM growth (+48.2% YoY). The day-ahead market saw sell liquidity surge 49% YoY, pushing prices down 12.2% to ₹3.89/unit, which encouraged discom and C&I participation. Management guided for 15-20% volume growth in FY27, supported by rising power demand and new capacity additions. However, regulatory overhang from market coupling draft regulations (comments due May 16, 2026) and Middle East disruptions impacting IGX volumes remain key risks. The coal exchange opportunity is promising but awaits final regulations. Overall, operational momentum is solid but regulatory uncertainty caps upside.

We have been achieving a volume growth of 15 to 20% every year and this year in fact the demand is also going to be high. So with the new capacity additions and demand increasing we should be able to maintain this volume growth of 15 20%.
I can only give you one example that in case of the termat market where the liquidity is practically uniform across all three exchanges the share of all three exchanges is in that same range of I mean 40 50% 30% 20% kind of numbers so in that market that market is operating from the last four years and in that market also the margins are intact.
