Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) reported a strong performance for May 2025, with total monthly electricity traded volume rising 14% YoY to 10,946 million units (MU). By Markets Desk Published on June 4, 2025, 08:24 IST
Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) reported a strong performance for May 2025, with total monthly electricity traded volume rising 14% YoY to 10,946 million units (MU). The growth was supported by robust activity across the Day-Ahead, Real-Time, and Term-Ahead Markets, the company said.
A total of 17.43 lakh Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) were traded in the month, marking a 65% YoY increase.
Government data published in May showed India's energy consumption stood at 148.7 BU, a 4% decline YoY, due to unseasonal rains and an early monsoon which reduced demand for electricity. Improved hydro, wind, and thermal generation also boosted supply, contributing to a drop in market prices.
During May, the Market Clearing Price in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) averaged ₹4.12/unit, down 22% YoY, while the Real-Time Market (RTM) clearing price averaged ₹3.43/unit, down 28% YoY. Segment-wise trends: Day-Ahead Market (DAM): Traded 3,510 MU, down 20% YoY.
Real-Time Market (RTM): Achieved record monthly volume of 4,770 MU, up 42% YoY from 3,352 MU in May 2024.
Day Ahead Contingency & Term-Ahead Market (TAM): Rose 38% YoY to 1,684 MU, up from 1,221 MU in May 2024.
IEX said that the improved market liquidity and lower prices have presented a valuable opportunity for discoms and commercial & industrial consumers to meet their power demand more cost-effectively via the exchange.

Jefferies flags weak MFI disbursements; says asset quality recovery could take 1–2 quarters
By Markets Desk Published on June 6, 2025, 08:22 IST Jefferies has flagged concerns over recent trends in the microfinance (MFI) sector, noting that fourth quarter FY25 disbursements fell 38 percent year-on-year, though they rose 12 percent quarter-on-quarter. This resulted in a 3 percent quarter-on-quarter and 14 percent year-on-year fall in assets under management. Overdue loans (31–180 days) showed marginal improvement, declining from 6.4 percent in December to 6.2 percent in March. However, Jefferies believes asset quality normalisation could take one to two more quarters. The sector is also navigating new MFIN 2.0 norms, with some risks from state elections. Jefferies noted that Spandana, Fusion, and CreditAccess Grameen have a higher share of customers with four or more loans, while Bandhan Bank could fare better in this environment.

The company is confident of 15–20% export volume growth in FY26, driven by LATAM traction and recovering African markets. A turnaround in KTM is targeted by 2026, post its recent restructuring and as Bajaj takes a controlling stake.
