Major steps taken to increase participation of States and enhance liquidity in GTAM are given below:

- Development and expansion of power market segments on exchanges, including Real-Time Market (RTM), Day-Ahead Market (DAM), Green Day-Ahead Market (GDAM), Green Term-Ahead Market (GTAM) and High Price Day-Ahead Market (HPDAM).
- Notification of the Power Market Regulations, 2021 by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), providing a comprehensive regulatory framework for efficient functioning and growth of electricity markets.
- Procurement of renewable energy through GTAM and GDAM has been recognized as eligible for meeting Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO)/ Renewable Consumption Obligation (RCO), encouraging DISCOMs and other obligated entities to procure green power through exchanges.
- Introduction of longer-duration contracts in GTAM to provide flexibility in procurement, optimize costs and hedge against price volatility, supported by appropriate payment security mechanisms
- Introduction of the DEEP (Discovery of Efficient Electricity Price) e-bidding portal for transparent procurement of short-term power by DISCOMs.
- Facilitation of wider participation through the Electricity (Promoting Renewable Energy Through Green Energy Open Access) Rules, 2022, which enable Green Energy Open Access to consumers with contract demand of 100 kW and above, thereby allowing participation of smaller consumers.
- Notification of Renewable Consumption Obligation (RCO) trajectory up to 2029 -30 under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001, to promote renewable energy consumption by designated consumers.
- Waiver on Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) charges for renewable energy projects including green hydrogen projects, with certain timelines and conditions.
