The Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) on Thursday posted over 21 per cent rise in consolidated net profit at Rs 86.46 crore in the September quarter, compared to the year-ago period, mainly on the back of higher revenues.
 
Its consolidated net profit was Rs 71.20 crore in the quarter ended on September 30, 2022, a BSE filing showed.
 
Total income rose to Rs 132.97 crore in the quarter under review, from Rs 113.77 crore in the same period a year ago.
 
During the quarter, the Exchange recorded a trading volume of 26.53 BU (billion units), an increase from 23.12 BU in Q2 FY'23, marking a growth of 15 per cent YoY (year-on-year), a statement said.

This improved supply-side scenario resulted in increased sell liquidity but an unexpected surge in power demand kept prices higher on the Exchange during the second quarter, it explained.

On the gas market front, in Q2FY24, the Indian Gas Exchange (IGX) generated total volumes of 195 lakhs MMBtu during Q2 of FY '24, a jump of 262 per cent over the same quarter last fiscal.
 
The volume jump was largely on the back of increased domestic gas volumes and decreased gas prices compared with spot prices (WIM), it explained.
