According to government data published in August 2025, the country's energy consumption reached 150.47 BUs, an increase of 4.4 percent compared to the previous year. Despite the increase in demand, prices on power exchange were lower compared to the previous year, owing to higher supply-side liquidity on the exchange platform. The market-clearing price in the Day Ahead Market (DAM) at INR 4 per unit during August 2025 declined seven percent YoY. Similarly, price in the Real Time Market (RTM) at INR 3.38 per unit during August 2025 declined six percent YoY.
These prices presented an opportunity for Discoms and Commercial and Industrial (C&I) consumers to meet their demand at a competitive price and to replace their costlier power by procuring through exchanges.
The DAM, including HPDAM, achieved 4,797 MU volume in August 2025 as compared to 4,666 MU volume in August 2024, an increase of three percent YoY. The DAM segment accounted for 34 percent of the total traded volumes in August 2025.
