REC TRADE RESULTS DECEMBER 2017

This month’s trading session saw highest ever trade in the REC markets – 2nd time in a row after the record trading session last month. Non-solar demand was significantly higher than in December 2016, and also last month. In total 52.17 lakh RECs were traded (1,136% higher than December 2016, and 136% higher than in November 2017), and clearing ratios on IEX and PXIL were 46.09% and 58.15% respectively.  Total traded value was Rs 782 crores.

The increase in traded volumes have been driven by demand from both Discom’s and captive generators. Several regulatory commissions have issued orders and notices in the recent past. This trend is expected to continue into the last quarter of the financial year.

Trading of solar RECs continues to be suspended due to the stay imposed by the Supreme Court.
