Key Financial Highlights
During the first half of FY ’26-’27, PTC India’s total generation of energy grew by 10.64%, while trading volumes surged by over 18% to 58.25 billion units. The exchange products constituted 60% of the traded volume. The company also highlighted strategic developments, including signing a 1200 megawatt solar PPA with NTPC Renewable Energy and initiating a tender for 500-megawatt / 2000 megawatt-hour procurement in the renewable energy space.
Cross-Border Market Operations and Future Outlook
Operations in cross-border markets continued across Bhutan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. A contract for supplying 1200 megawatt power to Bhutan during winter months has been signed, addressing the rising electricity demand. The company anticipates power prices to remain firm during peak hours due to increasing renewable energy penetration. PTC India views the ongoing development of energy storage capacity as a significant business opportunity and aims to be a key player in this evolving ecosystem.
Strategic Initiatives: PFS Divestment and Mineral Exchange
Regarding the divestment of PFS, the company has initiated the process by appointing a transaction advisory consultant and is proceeding as planned. The company emphasized that decisions regarding PFS are driven by shareholders’ interests and aims for realization of good value through operational stability. In parallel, PTC India is developing a mineral exchange platform, leveraging its experience in setting up exchanges like India Energy Exchange and HPX. This initiative is seen as a synergy with its existing C&I consumer base and aims to create a valuable entity within PTC’s portfolio.
Operational Performance and Risk Management
The company’s risk management is described as more composed, with no extraordinary exposures to any single entity. A reduction in rebate income is considered sustainable. PTC India plans to explore additional revenue streams from upcoming mineral or coal exchanges and intensive engagement in futures trading. The company highlighted a 24% growth in volume terms, outperforming the electricity generation growth of approximately 10%, underscoring its dominant position in the trading space.
