Not "an", "the". There's only one, which was mandated by the CERC (Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, www.cercind.gov.in) in 2008, and operated by a private company (IEX). And no, you don't have to be a seller to trade on the exchange. There are many more buyers than sellers. You just have to do some paperwork to get approval, and then become an IEX member (or, as most people do, go through a broker). The power is delivered through the normal grid, but to a separate meter. -- ams
