Dr. Manoj Kumar Jhawar, chairman & MD, PTC India, said A healthy mix of volume from trades across different tenures has contributed to the growth of 13% in trading volume in Q2-FY 25. The short-term has contributed 56% of the volume and balance has been contributed by medium- & long-term contracts. We expect to see firm electricity demand in sync with GDP growth rate.
