PTC India shares jumped 6% in early trade after the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) approved the implementation of Market Coupling for the Day-Ahead Market (DAM). This is being seen as a major positive for PTC India, especially given its strategic stake in Hindustan Power Exchange (HPX).
HPX, a competing power exchange, is jointly promoted by PTC India Ltd, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), and ICICI Bank. With market coupling set to level the playing field among exchanges, PTC India’s investment in HPX is expected to gain significant value as the new structure brings efficiency and uniformity in power pricing.
Analysts believe this new structure will level the playing field. PXIL, backed by NSE and NCDEX, and HPX now stand a strong chance to boost trading volumes and visibility.
Experts suggest that the new framework introduces a uniform pricing mechanism, encouraging utilities and traders to select exchanges based on platform efficiency, user experience, and lower fees—rather than liquidity alone.
PTC India shares opened at ₹193.00 today and touched a high of ₹203.59 during the session. The stock also hit a low of ₹192.00. Currently, the 52-week high stands at ₹246.85, while the 52-week low is ₹127.69.
