Promoters edit
63 Moon Technologies Limited made an impulsive thrust into India's Power Sector by launching the Indian Energy Exchange along with the Power Trading Corporation of India Limited. The aim of the promoters was to magnify the unexplored potential of the Indian Power market and abridge the demand supply gap. Thereby creating a marketplace wherein players from different purposes may garner business potential.

In November 2009, IEX won Best E-Enabled Customer Platform at the second annual India Power Awards for developing what was described as "a robust platform for energy trading.[5]
