On a standalone basis, IEX reported a PAT of Rs 113 crore, up 21% from Rs 93.4 crore in the same quarter last year. Despite initial concerns over summer demand, an early monsoon and unseasonal rains led to a lower-than-expected peak power demand. The average Day-Ahead Market (DAM) price dropped 16% YoY to Rs 4.41/unit, while the Real-Time Market (RTM) price declined 20% YoY to Rs 3.91/unit due to improved liquidity and higher renewable supply. The Indian Gas Exchange (IGX), a wholly owned subsidiary of IEX, also recorded strong growth, with gas volumes at 24.6 million MMBtu, up 109% YoY. IGX PAT rose 86.7% YoY to Rs 14.1 crore.
