CERC has issued an order on July 23, 2025, directing the phased implementation of market coupling in India's power exchanges. Under the new framework, the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) of power exchanges will be coupled in a round-robin mode by January 2026, with exchanges (including IEX) acting as Market Coupling Operator (MCO) on a rotational basis and Grid-India as the fourth MCO for backup and audit. CERC will also explore coupling of the Real-Time Market (RTM) and Term-Ahead Market (TAM) through further shadow pilots. Shadow pilot data showed a marginal welfare gain of about ₹38 crore (0.3%) and a 52 MU increase in volume cleared for DAM coupling. IEX is currently assessing the detailed impact of this regulatory change on its operations.
Market coupling could reduce IEX's pricing power and competitive edge in the DAM segment, as it would need to share operator duties on a rotational basis. The phased approach and IEX's role as a possible MCO provide some offset, but investors should watch for the company's impact assessment and any potential margin compression in DAM volumes.
