IEX reported monthly electricity traded volume of 12,341 MU in April 2026, up 16.6% YoY, driven by record electricity demand of 256 GW amid dynamic weather. RTM volume surged 30.2% YoY to 5,069 MU with a highest-ever single-day trade of 250 MU on April 30. DAM volume rose 8.7% YoY to 4,624 MU with average clearing price at Rs 5.26/unit, up 1% YoY. Green market volume grew 7.5% YoY to 841 MU. However, REC volumes dropped sharply by 59.4% YoY to 1.18 lakh RECs, with sell bids down 87% YoY while buy bids rose 42% YoY, pushing clearing prices to Rs 339-370/REC.
Strong core electricity trading growth is positive, but the 59.4% decline in REC volumes signals subdued renewable certificate market activity, which could weigh on exchange revenue from that segment.
