TL;DR

Latest read: September 2026 shows a sharp divergence between the two core markets: DAM was nearly flat at 4,251 MU, +0.5% YoY, while RTM grew 10.6% YoY to 5,294 MU. Across April–September, RTM remained consistently positive, whereas DAM growth was volatile and weakened materially by September.

Based on the most recent monthly operational data filing, how has the volume growth in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) and Real-Time Market (RTM) trended year-on-year, and what is the current market share differential against emerging competitors like HPX?

Latest read: September 2026 shows a sharp divergence between the two core markets: DAM was nearly flat at 4,251 MU, +0.5% YoY [1], while RTM grew 10.6% YoY to 5,294 MU [2]. Across April–September, RTM remained consistently positive, whereas DAM growth was volatile and weakened materially by September.

DAM and RTM monthly trend

Interpretation: RTM is the more durable growth engine, with YoY growth remaining positive in every month shown, although it moderated from April’s 30.2% to around 10.6% in August–September. DAM’s trajectory was less consistent: strong growth in April–May, contraction in June–July, a recovery in August, and then near-zero growth in September.

Market-share differential versus HPX

The latest quarter-specific market-share estimate, for April–June 2026, puts IEX at 75.15% of electricity traded across India’s three power exchanges, versus 5.94% for HPX [8].

IEX’s share had declined from 82.68% a year earlier to 75.15%, indicating rising competitive pressure from PXIL and HPX [8]. However, HPX remains a much smaller platform: IEX’s latest reported share was approximately 12.6 times HPX’s share, derived from 75.15% divided by 5.94%.

Caveat: the September monthly operational release provides IEX’s own DAM and RTM volumes, but a September all-exchange market-share split could not be confirmed. The 69.21 pp comparison is therefore the latest quarter-level market-share reference, not a September-specific measure.

According to the latest quarterly financial results, what is the current revenue contribution of the Indian Gas Exchange (IGX) and the Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM), and how does this segment mix align with the management's stated long-term diversification targets?

The latest Q2 FY27 results do not provide a separately reported revenue contribution for either IGX or GTAM. The available figures show operational scale and profit for IGX, and traded-volume mix for the Green Market, but not revenue by business.

How this compares with the diversification strategy

The evidence supports strategic diversification, but not yet demonstrable revenue diversification:

  • IGX is scaling operationally: Q2 gas volumes grew 160% YoY and IGX PAT rose 144% YoY, making it the more visible emerging contributor among the two businesses [14]. However, because IGX is an associate and its revenue is not separately reported, its contribution to IEX’s consolidated revenue cannot be calculated.
  • GTAM remains a small-volume product within the broader Green Market: the combined Green Market accounted for 7% of H1 volumes, while Q2 Green Market volumes declined 5.8% YoY [2]. This does not yet indicate a material or accelerating revenue contribution from GTAM specifically.
  • Management’s quantified IGX ambition is market penetration, not a revenue-share target: the company has indicated that IGX’s share of India’s overall gas consumption could rise from roughly 2% currently to 4–5% by 2030 [17]. Management has also discussed the broader objective of increasing natural gas’s share of India’s energy basket from 6% to 15% by 2030 [18].
  • The broader strategy is to build multiple energy platforms—gas, coal, environmental products and minerals—around the core electricity exchange [19]. No explicit long-term target for IGX or GTAM as a percentage of group revenue was reported.

Assessment: the current mix is directionally consistent with management’s diversification plan, particularly through IGX’s strong volume and profit growth. But financially, IEX remains predominantly an electricity-exchange business: the quarterly disclosures show progress in adjacent platforms without yet establishing a measurable IGX or GTAM revenue share.
