MCX gets SEBI approval to launch electricity derivatives

Mumbai, Jun 7 (UNI) The Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) said that it has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to launch electricity derivatives, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of India’s energy trading landscape.
Backed by both SEBI and Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), this move aims to help power generators, distributors, and large consumers hedge price risks and manage volatility, MCX said in a filing with BSE.
The Electricity Derivatives Contracts to be introduced by MCX will enable generators, distribution companies, and large consumers to hedge against price volatility and manage price risks more effectively, by enhancing efficiency in the power market,
“This landmark move positions MCX as a torchbearer of innovation in commodity trading, while reinforcing India’s ambition towards sustainable energy and capital market development. It also marks a pivotal step toward deepening India’s energy markets and aligns with the broader vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’,” the filing added.
Praveena Rai, MD & CEO, MCX, said: "The introduction of electricity derivatives marks a pivotal development in India’s commodities ecosystem. These contracts will offer participants a reliable, transparent, and regulated platform to manage power price risks, which are becoming more dynamic due to renewables and market-based reforms. With India’s growing focus on renewable energy and open access power markets, electricity derivatives can serve as a vital bridge between the physical and financial sectors."
