IEX is expanding product offerings, with robust growth across segments and potential coal exchange and carbon market developments on the horizon.

Green Market volumes rose 7.5% YoY to 841 MU, while the Green Day-Ahead Market averaged ₹3.79 per unit, down 6.9% YoY, signaling mixed pricing but expanding green liquidity.

IEX highlighted strong monthly volume growth and robust performance across market segments, reinforcing its central role in India’s power procurement.

Regulatory updates include draft market coupling regulations with Grid India as operator, and a 500 MW COD-backed Contract for Difference funded by a ₹76 crore stabilization pool to boost renewable liquidity on exchanges.

The report also references broader market analyses, but center stage remains IEX’s April 2026 performance across DAM, RTM, TAM, Green Market, and REC segments.

Dividend news: final dividend of ₹2 per share (200% of face value) and an interim ₹1.5 per share were approved for FY26.

Diversification and expansion efforts include IGX gas exchange and I-RECs, with consideration of a coal exchange and sizable coal e-auction opportunities (80–90 million tonnes).

IEX attributes the demand surge to dynamic weather, with RTM playing a key role for DISCOMs and commercial/industrial buyers seeking real-time flexible, cost-effective procurement.

Taken together, April performance signals momentum in India’s power markets, especially the real-time segment, as participants pursue flexible and cheaper procurement.
