Dr. Manoj Kumar Jhawar, chairman & MD, PTC India, said, "Growth has been witnessed across all segments of electricity trading in the third quarter of FY25 and has been observed. The growth has been driven by short-term segments (bilateral & exchange) of electricity trading. The short term constitutes 59% of PTC’s total trading volume for 9M, indicating increased preference of market participants for the shorter end contracts, including bilateral markets.
We expect to see a hardening of electricity demand in sync with GDP growth rate. The new business drivers for the sector will be renewable energy, storage solutions, and consulting offerings. We expect to penetrate deeper into the opportunity space. Identified focus on growth drivers will maintain our leadership position."
