India is lowering power trading fees to boost a unified electricity market starting Jan 2026.
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission is reviewing India’s power trading fees, considering lowering them to 1.5 paise per unit for most trades and 1.25 paise for long-term contracts, down from the current 2 paise cap, as part of preparations for market coupling set to launch in January 2026.
This reform aims to create a single, unified market-clearing price across exchanges, improving efficiency, reducing price disparities, and lowering electricity costs for distribution companies and large consumers.
Trading volumes have surged over 16 times since 2009-10, reaching over 120 billion units in 2023-24, with the Indian Energy Exchange dominating.
All three major exchanges will operate as market coupling operators on a rotating basis, supported by Grid-India.
Final decisions will follow stakeholder consultations, prioritizing transparency, affordability, and market efficiency.
