NSE Launches Electricity Futures Trading from July 14

India’s National Stock Exchange (NSE) will begin electricity futures trading on July 14, 2025, becoming the country’s second exchange to introduce such contracts after MCX.

The initiative received regulatory clearance and is aimed at improving price risk management for the power sector. The futures will be linked to day-ahead market prices published by the Power System Operation Corporation (POSOCO).

NSE expects the contracts to enhance transparency, liquidity, and efficiency in electricity trading.

This move aligns with India’s ongoing power sector reforms and offers a hedging tool for producers, DISCOMs, and market participants.
