Power producers are increasingly accessing Indian Energy Exchange Ltd shares in the platform, distributors and corporates for their short-term energy needs, which have soared 181 per cent so far this year. That’s the second-best performance on the S&P BSE India Power Index after Adani Transmission Ltd.
Indian Energy Exchange has outperformed a gauge of power firms this year; IEX’s real-time market product has been a ‘game changer’ as it allows companies to bid for their power requirements over the next one hour, according to Meet Jain, an analyst with Mumbai-based LKP Securities Ltd.
