IEX Shares Dip Following CERC's DAM Market Coupling Approval
Imagine a marketplace where electricity is bought and sold.
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) is like the referee, making sure everything is fair.
CERC decided to change how this market works by implementing 'market coupling.'
This means different exchanges will work together to find the best prices for buying and selling electricity.
Because of this change, shares of the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) dropped in value.
This is a work in progress, and more details will be available soon.
Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) shares fell 10% to Rs 169.10.
CERC approved market coupling in the Day-Ahead Market (DAM).
Market coupling in DAM is to be implemented by January 2026.
Power exchanges will act as Market Coupling Operators (MCO).
CERC regulates inter-state electricity transmission and tariffs.
