View:
IEX registered good MoM growth in DAM volumes but that has adversely affected RTM volumes. Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has extended Rs 12 per unit price ceiling in all market segments up to December 30 will surely affect the volumes on platform, But Government’s plan to launch a high-price market specifically for gas-fired and battery storage plants in coming three months will surely add volumes in longer term.
Impact:
Neutral.
