IEX shares in focus on reports of CERC considering transaction fees revision

Shares of the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) Ltd. will be in focus on Friday, December 26, after the Economic Times reported about a revision in transaction fees charged by the power exchanges in India.

The report indicates citing sources that the CERC is considering a lower, uniform fee of close to 1.5 paise per kilowatt hour (kWh) per side for most trading segments.

Currently, the exchanges levy a 2 paise per kWh fee on both the buying and selling side, translating into a total fee of close to 4 paise per kWh.

For longer duration contracts such as the Term-Ahead Market (TAM), the transaction fees could be reduced further to nearly 1.25 paise per kWh.

The report stated that discussions are at a preliminary stage and no final decision has been made yet.

CNBC-TV18 reached out to IEX to independently verify the story but the company offered no comments on the same.

Shares of IEX ended at the day's low on Wednesday, declining 2.1% to close at ₹139.1. The stock is down 23% so far in 2025.
