KPI Green Energy Receives Inter-State Power Trading Licence from CERC, Enabling PanIndia Market Participation

KPI Green Energy Limited has been granted an Inter-State Power Trading Licence (Category IV) by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), marking a key step in the company's evolution towards a more integrated and market-responsive renewable energy platform.

This approval authorises KPI to undertake electricity trading across state boundaries, enabling participation in India's national power markets and alignment of its power sales strategy with regional demand dynamics. The company had earlier received an intra-state power trading licence from the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC), and with the addition of the inter-state licence from CERC, KPI Green Energy is now well-positioned to operate across India, establishing a comprehensive pan-India power trading platform.

Commenting on the development, Dr. Faruk G. Patel, Chairman & Managing Director, said: "The inter-state trading licence strengthens our ability to operate seamlessly across markets and respond to evolving demand patterns. It enhances our flexibility in power sales, supports better price discovery, and positions KPI Green Energy to unlock greater value from its growing renewable energy portfolio."

With this licence in place, KPI Green Energy will be able to:

1. Access demand centres across multiple states, expanding beyond region-specific power offtake arrangements.

2. Dynamically allocate power based on market conditions, improving realisations through better timing and location of sales.

3. Engage with a wider spectrum of customers, including industrial and utility buyers in different geographies.

4. Participate in exchange-led and short-term markets, complementing its existing long-term contracting strategy.

This development builds on KPI's broader strategy of enhancing its power trading and commercial capabilities, and together with its state-level trading presence, lays the foundation for a scalable, pan-India power marketing platform.
