IEX Share Price Target Forecast (2026–2030)
| Year | Target Price Range (₹) |
|---|---|
| 2026 | ₹138 – ₹154 |
| 2027 | ₹150 – ₹170 |
| 2028 | ₹162 – ₹188 |
| 2029 | ₹174 – ₹208 |
| 2030 | ₹186 – ₹230 |
IEX Share Price Target 2026
| Year | Share Price Target 1 | Share Price Target 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | ₹138 | ₹154 |
IEX reported 21.44% YoY profit growth and 19.20% sales growth in FY2025, driven by record power volumes (12,664 MU traded in July 2025) and expanding REC/ESC markets. With zero debt, 54% ROCE, and 85% market share, the stock trades at a premium—but fundamentals support it. The 2026 target assumes continued volume growth and stable OPM (~85%).
IEX Share Price Target 2027
| Year | Share Price Target 1 | Share Price Target 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2027 | ₹150 | ₹170 |
If IEX sustains 18–20% earnings growth and benefits from new market segments (e.g., carbon credit trading, cross-border power trade), EPS could reach ₹5.60–₹5.90 by FY27. Assuming a P/E of 26–28x, the 2027 target range is justified.
IEX Share Price Target 2028
| Year | Share Price Target 1 | Share Price Target 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2028 | ₹162 | ₹188 |
By 2028, benefits from green hydrogen-linked power contracts and AI-driven grid balancing should reflect in margins. A P/E of 27–29x on projected EPS of ₹5.90–₹6.30 supports the ₹162–₹188 band.
IEX Share Price Target 2029
| Year | Share Price Target 1 | Share Price Target 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2029 | ₹174 | ₹208 |
Long-term tailwinds include India’s push for 24×7 renewable supply and mandatory exchange-based procurement. If competition remains limited, EPS could reach ₹6.40–₹6.90 by FY29. At a P/E of 28–30x, the 2029 target is ₹174–₹208.
IEX Share Price Target 2030
| Year | Share Price Target 1 | Share Price Target 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2030 | ₹186 | ₹230 |
Over a five-year horizon, IEX remains a high-quality compounder in India’s energy infrastructure ecosystem. A terminal P/E of 29–32x on FY30 EPS (~₹6.50–₹7.20) justifies the ₹186–₹230 range.

Final Verdict
Indian Energy Exchange is a rare monopoly-grade infrastructure play in India’s power sector. While not cheap, its growth trajectory, capital efficiency, and strategic relevance justify a premium.
Our IEX share price target 2026–2030 (₹138 to ₹230) reflects steady earnings growth, multiple stability, and sustained investor confidence. Upside is substantial if India’s power market deepens; downside is limited by zero debt and recurring revenue.
