PTC India launches Mobile apps “Bijli Bazaar” & “Bijli Vyapar”

PTC India Limited, the largest power trader in the country and a growing holistic energy solutions service provider, has launched two new digital initiatives ‘Bijli Bazaar’ and ‘Bijli Vyapar’ at its Annual Day held on 15^th July 2016, which primarily aims to transform one’s day to day engagement with the Indian electricity market.

‘Bijli Bazaar’, an information dissemination portal, will provide important and worthy information to citizens, market participants and government stakeholders on power market prices, volumes, trends and demand supply. The initiative aptly demonstrates performance of a State by providing information on its cost of power purchased from State and Centre generation, IPPs, exchanges and renewable sources. It also provides information to open access consumers on cost savings they can achieve by procuring power through open access. The initiative is also available as a mobile application at present only for Android mobile users and shortly for Apple mobile users.

The other initiative ‘Bijli Vyapar’, a utilitarian power trading tool, available on Android mobile phones and shortly on Apple mobile phones, is an application serving market participants trading power on the power exchanges. Through this mobile application, Open Access users (those trading through PTC India) can place their bids on power exchange for sale and purchase of power through their mobile phones within a few clicks. The application serves to provide convenience, ease of business, and error free bidding to PTC clients trading power on exchanges.

Both the digital initiatives will continue adding more relevant features with time with an aim to encourage a whole new level of engagement between market makers and users.
