IGX Gas Trade Volume Sees Surge

The Indian Gas Exchange (IGX) reported a significant rise in its gas trade volume in October, with a 160% month-on-month increase, reaching 8 million MMBtu. This surge reflects growing demand for natural gas and the market's confidence in the platform's trading efficiency.

The rise in IGX's trade volume highlights the increasing importance of gas exchanges in India’s energy transition. With a shift towards cleaner energy sources, natural gas plays a crucial role in India’s energy mix. The 160% growth in October demonstrates the market's growing preference for transparent and competitive trading mechanisms, which IGX provides, offering flexibility and efficiency in the trading of natural gas.

The increase also suggests broader economic recovery and industrial demand for natural gas, positioning IGX as a key player in India’s evolving energy market. As the country looks to reduce reliance on coal and improve its carbon footprint, the growth in gas trading is aligned with government policies to promote natural gas as a cleaner energy alternative.
