On the power sector front, hot weather conditions led to an unprecedented surge in electricity demand during the first quarter of this financial year. Peak power demand reached 250 GW, surpassing the previous high of 243 GW recorded in September last year.

Auction premium under Shakti B8 auction has been down at around 20% since the last 3 months. Coal inventory in July 2024 stood at nearly 18 days. Proactive measures taken by the government and the regulators, including the sale of surplus un-requisitioned power on power exchanges, increased fuel supply and ensuring higher availability of generating units led to increased sell liquidity on the exchanges which kept prices under control. Consequently, despite increase in electricity consumption, the market clearing price in the Day Ahead Market during Q1FY’25 was Rs 5.26/unit, almost similar to the same quarter last year.
On the gas market front, the Indian Gas Exchange (IGX) traded total volumes of 11.8 million MMBtu during Q1FY'25, an increase of 176% over the same quarter last fiscal. Profit after tax for IGX increased 120% YoY from Rs 3.4 Cr in Q1FY’24 to Rs 7.6 Cr in Q1FY’25.
