PXIL successfully conducted REC trading for the month of January 2016. The total cleared volume on the exchange was 1, 96,747 RECs that led to PXIL having a Market Share of 48.95%. In this month clearing ratio was 3.03% due to low demand side participation. During this trading session, the prices in the solar and non-solar categories have remained at the floor level. Prior to today’s auction more than 1.74 Crore RECs were available in the market for trade; however the traded volume is low on account of non-fulfillment of RPO compliance by major utilities. The traded volumes are expected to increase in the remaining two months of the year as many obligated entities would start purchasing REC’s to meet their RPO targets.
