Question 1: What is the current revenue breakdown for IEX, IGX, ICX, and coal trading in terms of numbers and percentages?
Answer: IEX standalone PAT was INR103 crore (+15.5% YoY), while consolidated PAT was INR107.3 crore (+16.9% YoY). IGX standalone PAT stood at INR8.3 crore (+13% YoY), and ICX reported a profit of INR20 lakh vs. a loss of INR1 crore YoY. Coal trading remains inactive, pending government approval for the coal exchange.
Question 2: What are the expected revenues for FY26 and FY27 for IEX, IGX, and ICX?
Answer: Management refrained from specific projections but highlighted achievable growth of 15"“20% for IEX, driven by demand-supply dynamics. IGX growth depends on future gas price reductions (potentially $8"“9/MMBtu post-2026), while ICX remains in early stages.
Question 3: What is IEX's current market share in electricity and REC segments?
Answer: IEX holds ~84.5% market share in electricity (DAM/RTM dominate), ~60"“65% in REC markets. Term Ahead Market (TAM) share is ~38% across exchanges.
Question 4: What is the progress on regulatory approvals for long-duration (11-month) contracts and Green RTM?
Answer: The 11-month contract hearing is complete, with CERC's decision pending. Green RTM is undergoing public consultation; approval is expected in 2"“3 months. These could unlock ~40 BU annual trading potential.
Question 5: How is market coupling progressing, and what are the challenges?
Answer: CERC's simulation report (due July 2024) is delayed. Coupling faces technical/logistical hurdles (e.g., software development, settlement processes) and risks stifling competition. Implementation could take 2"“3 years if approved.
Question 6: Why did RTM volumes decline QoQ in Q3 FY25?
Answer: Seasonal factors: Q2's higher renewable generation (wind/hydro) boosts RTM liquidity, while Q3's lower renewables reduced volatility. DAM growth (+17% QoQ) offset RTM's dip (-13% QoQ).
Question 7: How sustainable is IEX's volume growth amid price declines?
Answer: Competitive prices (INR3.71/unit in Q3) drive demand from DISCOMs and industries. Volume growth (19% YoY for 9M FY25) correlates ~3x with India's power demand growth (4.8% YoY), likely sustaining 15"“20% growth.
Question 8: What explains the gap between volume growth (16%) and revenue growth (13.7%) in Q3?
Answer: Incentives in TAM/REC segments to retain market share amid competition slightly reduced realized fees.
Question 9: How does IEX plan to defend market share if coupling is implemented?
Answer: Focus on customer-centric services (training, analytics via IEX Academy) and platform reliability. Existing client loyalty (400+ generators, all DISCOMs registered) provides a moat.
Question 10: What role will battery storage and virtual PPAs (VPPAs) play in future volumes?
Answer: Storage enables non-solar hour trading, while VPPAs (~300"“400 MW already traded) and merchant renewables could add ~2 GW sell-side liquidity by FY25, boosting green market volumes (+300% YoY in Q3).
