View: IEX has registered good MoM growth in RTM and TAM market yet Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has extended Rs 12 per unit price ceiling in all market segments up to September 30, leading to flattish DAM volumes. September being the last month of price capping we can see good traction in DAM volumes from October onwards.
Impact: Neutral.
