Inter-market comparison:  IEX is the market maker

May 15: 8IEX proves unbeatable in depth, breadth, and price discovery
From DAM to HPDAM, IEX remains India’s only power exchange with consistent multi-market activity and clearing. Its unmatched volumes and Rs 12,935/MWh peak in HPDAM reaffirm its dominance.
8Real-time goldmine: IEX clears 4,000 MW in 15-Minute RTM slots
Even in real-time conditions, IEX sees bid depths beyond 30,000 MW and consistently clears high volumes—revealing both system responsiveness and user trust.
8Green market works:But only on IEX
IEX’s GDAM shows 100% clearance for solar power at Rs 10,000/MWh, highlighting its critical role in renewable integration.
8Rs 10,000 Isn’t the ceiling : Only IEX crosses it
HPDAM results show IEX stretching into premium territory while others don’t even show up. The price-cap bypass works—but only on one platform.

RESCO model with no subsidy still draws a crowd

May 15: 8The bid list reveals a spike in farmer-led entities and new solar entrepreneurs.
8With minimal qualification criteria, has RESCO opened the door too wide or is this the democratization the sector needed?
8Then again, at Rs. 3.04/kWh for 25 years, the tariff looks attractive, until you factor in CT/PT costs, RMS hardware, and grid compliance.
8Is the herd overlooking hidden costs in pursuit of predictable cash flow?

Discounting formula adjusted to reward bundled service offerings for Rs 560 crore transformer bid

May 15: 8For the first time in recent high-capacity transformer bids, pricing after-discount was derived using a bundled formula rather than strict line-item devaluation.
8This may realign bidding strategies.
8Also, insiders say the cost breakdown shows use of localized bushing and core steel vendors one reason why the winning bid came in lower than benchmarked expectations.

Inter-market comparison: PXIL is Present but Passive

May 15: 8PXIL hits Rs 10,000 too: But with just a trickle of volume
PXIL’s DAM and RTM segments also breached the Rs 10,000/MWh mark but actual clearances were just 25–60 MWh per block. Demand existed, but the platform didn’t scale.
8PXIL’s markets are active only on paper
Even where bids existed (like GDAM), no matching trades happened. PXIL’s interface seems to attract buyers but sellers are notably absent.
8HPDAM on PXIL was a no-show
Not a single trade or bid was recorded in PXIL’s HPDAM report. The platform skipped India’s most volatile and revealing market segment.

Inter-market comparison: HPX is missing in action

May 15: 8HPX clears nothing in any market: Is the platform functional?
Across all four segments: DAM, RTM, GDAM, HPDAM HPX reports are consistently blank. Zero volumes. Zero bids. Zero confidence.
8Demand logged, supply absent: HPX’s DAM shows structural void
Even where buyers came forward (like 37.5 MW bids in GDAM), the platform couldn’t match any volumes. A systemic lack of seller onboarding is evident.
8HPX fails Its test in premium power market too
India’s new high-value segment, HPDAM, went entirely unused on HPX. Even with open caps and rising prices, the platform attracted zero participation.

Inter-market comparison: Three exchanges, one winner

May 15: 8IEX remains the only exchange with operational depth across all short-term segments. PXIL hovers on the sidelines. HPX is invisible.
8Platform parity remains a mirage: Policy push yet to reflect in volumes
Despite the regulatory push for competition, India’s electricity trade is still centralized on IEX. Others have the licenses but not the markets.
8Power exchanges expose a regulatory blind spot
Even as CERC opens premium price corridors, two out of three exchanges fail to leverage the opportunity. India's market liberalization still lacks teeth.

8But one year on, data from the country’s three power exchanges reveals a stubborn truth: only one of them is really trading.
The rest are still stuck at the starting line.

Inter-market comparison: PXIL is Present but Passive

May 15: 8PXIL hits Rs 10,000 too: But with just a trickle of volume
PXIL’s DAM and RTM segments also breached the Rs 10,000/MWh mark but actual clearances were just 25–60 MWh per block. Demand existed, but the platform didn’t scale.
8PXIL’s markets are active only on paper
Even where bids existed (like GDAM), no matching trades happened. PXIL’s interface seems to attract buyers but sellers are notably absent.
8HPDAM on PXIL was a no-show
Not a single trade or bid was recorded in PXIL’s HPDAM report. The platform skipped India’s most volatile and revealing market segment.

8Demand logged, supply absent: HPX’s DAM shows structural void
Even where buyers came forward (like 37.5 MW bids in GDAM), the platform couldn’t match any volumes. A systemic lack of seller onboarding is evident.
8HPX fails Its test in premium power market too
India’s new high-value segment, HPDAM, went entirely unused on HPX. Even with open caps and rising prices, the platform attracted zero participation.

Inter-market comparison: Three exchanges, one winner

May 15: 8IEX remains the only exchange with operational depth across all short-term segments. PXIL hovers on the sidelines. HPX is invisible.
8Platform parity remains a mirage: Policy push yet to reflect in volumes
Despite the regulatory push for competition, India’s electricity trade is still centralized on IEX. Others have the licenses but not the markets.
8Power exchanges expose a regulatory blind spot
Even as CERC opens premium price corridors, two out of three exchanges fail to leverage the opportunity. India's market liberalization still lacks teeth.
