MCX Receives SEBI Approval to Launch Electricity Derivatives

On June 6, 2025, the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) secured approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to introduce electricity derivatives.  

This initiative aims to provide power generators, distribution companies, and large consumers with tools to hedge against price volatility, thereby enhancing efficiency in the power market.  

The move aligns with India's vision of 'Viksit Bharat' and underscores the commitment of regulators like SEBI and the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) to foster a dynamic and sustainable energy market.
