IEX Posts Record Monthly Trade Volume In April 2026

Indian Energy Exchange achieved a monthly electricity traded volume of 12.341 billion (bn) units in April 2026, an increase of 16.6 per cent year on year.

A total of zero point one one eight million (mn) renewable energy certificates were traded during the month, representing a decline of 59.4 per cent year on year. National energy consumption reached 154 billion (bn) units in April, up four per cent, and peak demand touched 256 gigawatts (GW).

Strong Day?Ahead demand pushed buy bids up 31 per cent and sell bids up 35 per cent, with DAM volumes at four point six two four billion (bn) units versus four point two five four billion (bn) units a year earlier. The average market-clearing price in DAM stood at Rs. five point two six per unit, one per cent higher. Unseasonal rainfall early in April kept DAM prices below Rs. three point five per unit on several days, enabling DISCOMs and commercial and industrial consumers to procure competitively.

The Real?Time Market recorded five point zero six nine billion (bn) units for the month, up 30.2 per cent, and saw prices touch near?zero levels across multiple time blocks owing to surplus renewable generation during solar hours. The average RTM clearing price was Rs. four point eight two per unit, up five point four per cent. RTM posted its highest single?day trade of 250 million (mn) units on April 30, underscoring its role in flexible procurement.

Term?Ahead and contingency contracts, including HPTAM, traded one point eight zero seven billion (bn) units while the Green Market delivered 841 million (mn) units, up seven point five per cent. REC sell bids declined nearly 87 per cent while buy bids rose 42 per cent, contributing to higher clearing prices of Rs. 339 and Rs. 370 per REC in two sessions. The exchange said its platform continues to support efficient price discovery and flexible trade execution for stakeholders.
