India's Power Prices Hit ₹20/Unit Ceiling Amid Record 256 GW Demand

India's day-ahead power market saw tariffs surge to the ₹20 per unit regulatory ceiling in late April as heatwave conditions drove peak demand to a record 256 GW on April 25. The high-price segment (HP-DAM) on the Indian Energy Exchange enabled costlier sources like imported coal and gas plants to meet incremental demand, with average prices reaching ₹19.6/unit compared to ₹15.3 a year ago.
