Indian Energy Exchange is expected to log double-digit volume growth in FY26, driven by new green products, long-duration contracts, and a capacity addition of 51GW. FY25 saw a record 121BU electricity traded and Rs 429 crore in net profit.
Indian Energy Exchange (IEX), India’s premier power trading platform, is poised for another year of robust growth in FY26. Analysts forecast a double-digit increase in trading volumes, supported by rising sell-side liquidity, improved participation, and the rollout of new electricity and commodity market products. Following an 18.7 percent rise in electricity volume to a record 121 billion units (BU) in FY25, the current fiscal year is expected to benefit from the commissioning of 11GW of thermal and 40GW of renewable power capacity.

The anticipated product diversification, particularly the introduction of green RTM and long-duration contracts of up to 11 months, is expected to boost participation by both generators and distributors. The long-duration product could unlock up to 40BU in additional annual trading volume if approved, shifting a significant portion of DEEP platform transactions to IEX at lower cost.
IEX is also expanding beyond electricity into commodities. The Indian Gas Exchange (IGX), a subsidiary of IEX, recorded a 47 percent increase in gas trading volume to 60 million MMBtu in FY25, driven by active sales from players like Reliance and ONGC. IEX is also exploring carbon trading and has initiated consultations for a new coal exchange, expected to launch by FY27, subject to regulatory amendments.
The table below summarises IEX’s growth and expansion areas:
Segment | FY25 Performance | FY26 Outlook |
Electricity | 121BU traded (+18.7%) | Double-digit volume growth expected |
Gas (IGX) | 60 mn MMBtu (+47%) | Continued volume expansion projected |
Net Profit | Rs 429.16 crore | Strengthened by new trading avenues |
Total Income | Rs 657.36 crore | Boosted by diversified product base |
New Products | Green RTM, LDC | Expected to unlock 40BU additional trade |
Coal Exchange | In planning (for FY27) | Regulatory clearance required |
The positive momentum from FY25, backed by policy support, capacity growth, and product innovation, is expected to reflect on the IEX share price in the coming quarters. Investors are likely to keep a close eye on product approvals and volume trends, as well as the execution timeline for upcoming ventures. The company’s expansion into new verticals, such as carbon and coal trading, offers promising medium-term growth opportunities, which could influence the IEX share price further.
As India strengthens its electricity market framework and promotes green energy procurement, the exchange’s strategic offerings may support both trading efficiency and demand. The evolving energy mix and supportive market mechanisms are likely to keep IEX share price and operational performance in focus through FY26.
