Market Round-up

Sep 26: 1) Sell depth swamps buys as DAM holds the line
8Purchase bids thinned while sell interest stayed heavy on 2025-09-24, yet MCP didn’t collapse, settling near Rs 3.41/kWh.
Inference — Asymmetric order-book (buys < sells) met with steady scheduled volume suggests disciplined bid shading rather than panic selling.
Why it matters — Price resilience amid a soft buy book implies traders can’t rely on a late-day slide to capture cheaper blocks.

2) HPX-RTM hits near-ceiling prices on wafer-thin clears
8HPX cleared 75 MW at Rs 9,999.75/MWh on 2025-09-19 and 25 MW at Rs 10,000.00/MWh on 2025-09-22; several adjacent days cleared zero.
Inference — Micro-liquidity magnifies slippage; a single block can print the board without indicating true executable depth.
Why it matters — Portfolio desks must slice RTM orders and multi-home across venues or risk paying five-digits for tiny fills.

3) Hydro day-ahead (HPDAM) offered big, cleared zero all week
8Across 2025-09-19→25, HPDAM logged six-figure daily sell bids but zero final scheduled volume.
Inference — Hydro flexibility wasn’t monetised via HPDAM this week, either due to offer pricing above takeout or operators pivoting to alternative products.
Why it matters — Missed hydro clears reduce flexible cover for evening ramps, pushing buyers into pricier RTM/ancillary windows.

4) SCUC tilted net-up: system needed 1.02 lakh MWh of commitment
8On 2025-09-25, SCUC-Up Scheduled totalled 101,730 MWh while SCUC-Down was −81,419 MWh.
Inference — Net positive commitment points to latent tightness outside the headline peak, likely smoothing shoulder-hour ramps.
Why it matters — Ancillary-driven commitment is a hedgeable signal; flexible units can pre-position to capture Rs/MWh spreads around these blocks.

5) Rajasthan plants sit on surplus coal far above norms
8Chhabra-I PH-2 held 227% of normative stock (321.1 vs 141.2 ‘000 T) at a 77% PLF; Suratgarh STPS at 157%; Kota at 121% (all 2025-09-24).
Inference — With fuel cushions intact, dispatch choices (not coal scarcity) are shaping output and market buying.
Why it matters — Utilities can lean more on own fleet before paying up in RTM; mis-scheduling here is a direct Rs/MWh leakage.

6) Tanda cluster remains on planned outage with no firm revival dates
8Multiple Tanda TPS entries show “Non availability of PPA” and blank revival dates under “Expected Revival Date” (continuous outages).
Inference — UP faces concentrated availability risk in one station group; reliance on markets/imports will rise during tight ramps.
Why it matters — SLDCs should pre-cover peak blocks while Tanda remains partially unavailable to avoid Rs-heavy intraday procurement.

7) Grid maintenance is condition-led: AMP and LILO dominate reasons
8Reason/Remarks show AMP referenced 24 times, LILO works 15, CB retrofits 15, CT issues 2, DGA flags 1 (2025-09-25 sheet).
Inference — Outage planning is increasingly condition-based and component-specific, a healthier posture for reliability than generic AMP tags.
Why it matters — Targeted maintenance should reduce systemic congestion risk; price spreads are likelier to reflect stack economics than forced derates.

8) Evening peak held with tiny shortfall; hydro and solar carried weight
8On 2025-09-25 the 20:00 demand met was 2,23,845 MW with peak shortage of just 219 MW; Hydro 789 MU and Solar 476 MU on the day.
Inference — Robust hydro output alongside solar energy ensured adequacy beyond headline evening ramp (even as net SCUC tilted up).
Why it matters — Adequacy with minimal deficit reduces extreme MCP tails; portfolios can prioritise shoulder-hour hedges over brute peak cover.

Market Round-up

Sep 25: 1) DAM bids softened while sell interest swelled; lowest MCP hit mid-week
8Purchase bids tapered through 24-09-2025 even as sell bids stayed elevated; the lowest daily MCP in the 7-day panel landed on 21-09-2025 (~Rs 2.62/kWh).
Inference — A soft buyer book alongside persistent sell depth compressed price, independent of typical weekend effects.
Why it matters — Producers relying on DAM for margin should hedge shoulder-day exposure; buyers can pre-position blocks into low-price days to cut Rs/MWh procurement costs.

2) HPX RTM shows micro-liquidity and near-ceiling prints despite zero clears
8Across 18–24 Sep, multiple days show no cleared volume alongside posted MCP around ~Rs 10.00/kWh on small matched blocks.
Inference — Order-book thinness and sporadic matches create execution risk; slicing orders and multi-venue routing reduces slippage.
Why it matters — Traders transacting size in RTM must avoid “all-or-nothing” submissions; poor slicing could cost lakhs across an evening.

3) Evening peak in ER held a higher frequency than off-peak — inversion of the usual pattern
8On 24-09-2025, ER frequency at the 20:00 peak read 50.06 Hz vs 49.97 Hz at 03:00.
Inference — Peak-hour scheduling discipline (and/or hydro support) beat the pre-dawn profile, flipping the conventional “tight at peak” assumption.
Why it matters — Operators can prioritize frequency watch windows before dawn; RE-plus-thermal portfolios should firm pre-dawn blocks, not only evenings.

4) 765 kV nodes ran perfectly within band for the whole day at several buses
8Agra/Fatehabad 765 kV entries show 100.00% time in the mid-band and 0.00% Voltage Deviation Index for 24-09-2025.
Inference — VAR/tap actions and local reactive support kept UHV voltages centered all day.
Why it matters — With UHV steady, intraday price spreads likely track stack economics rather than voltage-related constraints; grid stability risk is lower on such days.

5) Haryana coal fleet shows surplus stock but middling PLFs — a scheduling, not fuel, story
8Plants report stock well above normative days (e.g., 170–195% of requirement) while current-month PLFs remain ~49–65%.
Inference — Capacity isn’t energy-constrained; dispatch choices or demand profile are limiting output.
Why it matters — Procurement focus should be on intraday market strategy and flexibility, not incremental coal logistics — saving Rs/MWh on avoidable spot purchases.

6) SCUC leaned net-down overnight, then swung up — ancillary pacing visible across the day
824-09-2025 shows sizeable SCUC-Down awards in the early blocks and positive SCUC-Up into business hours; SRAS/TRAS MWh totals reflect this tilt.
Inference — Unit commitment reduced must-run load at night and restored it as daytime ramps arrived, smoothing the MCP path.
Why it matters — Ancillary bids are a hedgeable signal; GENCOs with flexible units can capture Rs-linked value around these inflection windows.

7) UP’s Tanda TPS had multiple units on planned outage with patchy revival dates
8The 24-09-2025 generating-unit log lists several Tanda units under continuous planned outages; some entries carry no firm revival date.
Inference — Near-term availability risk is concentrated in a single station cluster, raising UP’s reliance on imports/markets during tight ramps.
Why it matters — SLDC/portfolio managers should pre-cover evening blocks while Tanda capacity is partially unavailable.

8) AMP/DGA and LILO works dominate 400/220 kV maintenance — granular causes, not generic “AMP”
8Transmission-element report tags causes like “high DGA values,” LILO jumpering, CB dismantling with PIR, and CT circuitry faults across 400/220 kV assets.
Inference — Maintenance is increasingly condition-based (oil/gas analysis, component-level faults), not just scheduled AMP — a healthier reliability posture.
Why it matters — Targeted outages reduce systemic congestion risk; market spreads should be less transmission-driven on such days.

Contracting news for the day: Part-2

Sep 24: PPP model for small -scale gas project raises new questions
8PPP mode is unusual for a sub-100MW plant in India’s gas-based sector, where Gas based power projects in India typically rely on conventional EPC or merchant structures. Such models usually apply to large baseload or renewable projects, not most Gas based power projects in India. With key risk allocation clauses missing, uncertainty rises for lenders and offtakers in Gas based power projects in India. The episode could shape future structuring choices across Gas based power projects in India, especially at sub-100MW scale

2) Hydro outpaced wind by 2.31× in daily energy mix
8Hydro delivered 798 MU vs wind 345 MU (hydro ≈ 2.31× wind) on 2025-09-23.
Inference — Storage/peaking alignment let hydro dominate net energy even with substantial wind in WR/SR.
Why it matters — Strengthens the premium for dispatchable hydro in evening hedges and HPDAM bids.

3) Solar’s 465 MU left the evening ramp to hydro and thermal
8Solar contributed 465 MU (daytime), while evening peak still cleared without shortage.
Inference — The sunset ramp was covered by hydro/thermal rather than residual solar; RE portfolios need firming.
Why it matters — Highlights value of firming contracts/PSP to keep RTM exposure in check around 19:00–21:00.

4) 400 kV work dominated the day’s transmission actions
8The 23-09-2025 element log shows ~277 mentions of “400 kV” vs 64 of “765 kV” (691 rows total).
Inference — Day-to-day operational focus sits at 400 kV (switching, AMP, bay work), with fewer UHV events.
Why it matters — VAR/tap strategy and maintenance windows at 400 kV drive near-term transfer economics and price bases.

5) RTM order-book thinness flags execution risk on HPX
8Latest HPX RTM snapshot shows 31 occurrences of “0.00” values across the grid of block fields.
Inference — Micro-liquidity gaps persist block-wise; single-ticket orders risk slippage unless sliced/multi-venue.
Why it matters — Traders should split orders across blocks/venues to avoid adverse fills in RTM.

6) Thermal output steady at ~56,197 MW across two days
8CEA “dgr1” lists Thermal at 56,196.96 MW for 2025-09-21 and again for 2025-09-22.
Inference — Stable thermal base helped anchor supply; evening adequacy (zero shortage) leaned on hydro flexibility, not extra thermal ramp.
Why it matters — With coal steady, incremental balancing costs hinge on hydro/ancillary rather than coal ramp-rates.

7) Most corridor-nodes showed no ATC violations all day
8We count 86 rows with “0.00%” ATC-violation paired with “100.00%” within-limit time on 23-09-2025.
Inference — Price spreads that did occur were more stack-mix/demand-driven than hard ATC binds that day.
Why it matters — On low-bind days, DAM/RTM bases track generation economics; transmission hedges can be lighter.

8) North led day-peak; WR trailed by 10,365 MW
8Maximum “Demand Met During the Day” was 78,946 MW (NR) vs 68,581 MW (WR); delta 10,365 MW.
Inference — Regional load profile skew favored NR on 23-09-2025; WR’s peak was lower despite high industrial load pockets.
Why it matters — Region-specific hedging: NR shoulders more peak-hour risk; WR can lean more on intraday arbitrage.

Market Round-up

Sep 23: 1) Sub-50 Hz time swelled to 4:31:30 on 2025-09-22
8Total time with frequency below 50.00 Hz was 4:31:30 on 22-09-2025.
Inference — Ramps likely exceeded available fast response despite adequate transmission headroom the previous day (see ATC line-item below).
Why it matters — Longer sub-50 windows raise deviation exposure and ancillary dependence, with knock-on costs for states.

2) Extreme tail control held: <49.9 Hz only 0:02:27
8Even with long sub-50 windows, the grid spent just 0:02:27 under 49.9 Hz.
Inference — Primary/secondary controls clipped deep excursions; stress is in the “shoulder” band, not collapse-risk tails.
Why it matters — Limited time in the penalty tail keeps DSM spikes contained even on tougher ramp days.

3) Ancillary “up” exceeded “down” by ~11% on 2025-09-22
8NLDC scheduled 83,834 MWh SCUC-Up versus 75,164 MWh SCUC-Down (net +8,670 MWh).
Inference — Net upward balancing aligns with longer sub-50 windows the same day, indicating under-scheduling versus realized load/RE.
Why it matters — Extra Up MWh point to firmness scarcity; even at modest Rs/kWh, tens of lakhs can accrue in settlement.

4) Corridor constraints were not the culprit on 2025-09-21
8System Reliability Index shows 0.0% “time ATC was violated” across reported corridors.
Inference — Prior-day price spreads and deviations were demand/dispatch-mix driven, not transmission-bound.
Why it matters — On unconstrained days, MCPs better reflect stack economics; hedges should key off generation, not corridor proxies.

5) HPX RTM prints show micro-liquidity gaps block-wise
8We count ~168 occurrences of “0.00” on HPX RTM snapshot (42) and ~164 on (43).
Inference — Order books go thin in specific blocks; single-ticket execution risks slippage unless sliced across blocks/venues.
Why it matters — For RTM buyers/sellers, slicing improves fill quality; venue-mixing with IEX mitigates impact costs.

6) Transmission element log is dense and skewed to 400 kV assets
8NLDC’s transmission-element workbook for 22-09-2025 lists 654 rows; we detect ~61 entries referencing 400 kV and ~8 referencing 765 kV.
Inference — Operational focus remains on 400 kV elements (switching, outages, constraints) with fewer ultra-high-voltage events that day.
Why it matters — VAR/tap strategy and maintenance windows at 400 kV drive day-to-day transfer economics more than rare 765 kV events.

7) Thermal fleet stayed hefty even ahead of the ancillary-heavy day
8CEA’s daily snapshot lists thermal at ~56,196.96 MW (20-09-2025).
Inference — With thermal already high two days prior, the subsequent ancillary “Up” bias (22-09) suggests intraday forecast miss or RE under-delivery rather than idle thermal headroom.
Why it matters — Persistent reliance on thermal plus balancing services raises landed costs unless forecasting tightens.

8) Generator-outage roster spans the stack, reinforcing the need for balancing
8The 22-09-2025 generator-outage workbook contains both “Planned Outages” and “Forced Outages” sections alongside capacity fields (table header “Capacity MW”).
Inference — Mixed outage types across units compress dispatch flexibility and amplify the need for SCUC Up-calls on ramp days.
Why it matters — Outage mix is a forward indicator for ancillary demand and price dispersion in RTM.

Contracting news for the day: Part-5

Sep 23: Barmer lignite project: State doubles down on lignite
8Unlike national RE thrust, Rajasthan secures lignite baseload a signal closely watched in Thermal power plant tenders. This policy split signals dependence on local resources and reshapes the Thermal power plant tenders outlook. For bidders tracking Thermal power plant tenders, the move suggests a stickier coal-linked pipeline. It may slow coal exit strategy and influence upcoming Thermal power plant tenders. Bottom line: Thermal power plant tenders will mirror this pivot.

AMI contract signals broader RDSS financing shift
8Punjab has set the precedent of DBFOOT in smart metering. If successful, this may cascade to other RDSS states. Contractors must prepare for a market where private capital drives metering rollouts. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-3

Sep 23: NTPC coal transport: Six - year PB Northwest package sets high bar
8The long - term contract locks vendors into 15MMT movement with full siding maintenance. Its six - year scope attracts only large, well - capitalised players. The embedded compliance makes this the anchor package for NTPC coal evacuation.

Single E&M subcontractor mandated for Tiuni - Plasu hydro project
8Despite bidder requests, UJVN insists all E&M scope rests with one subcontractor. This limits flexibility but ensures liability clarity. Vendor concentration risk rises. Details

Sep 23: NTPC coal contract: Vendors eye relief but financing challenges persist
8Extra time helps contractors finalise bids. But high upfront fleet investment and working capital needs remain unchanged. The core financing bottleneck is untouched by deadline relief.

NTPC CO2 capture tender reflects wider decarbonisation policy struggles
8CCUS remains outside India’s cost - recovery frameworks. Without carbon pricing or subsidy, EPC economics are fraught. This tender delay underscores that policy gap. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-2

Sep 23: NTPC experiments with stricter governance in civil packages
8In NTPC thermal projects, land-border and Class-I supplier clauses are now sector trends. But across NTPC thermal projects, CSR proportionality and denial of MSE benefits are emerging as anomalies. If NTPC thermal projects replicate these moves, they could shift norms in PSU contracting. For bidders in NTPC thermal projects, these shifts alter the compliance math and pricing strategy.

Discom augmentation tender: Legacy SAS integration burden shifted to EPC
8Contractors must integrate ABB and Areva systems with new bays. Full hardware, software, and licensing costs sit with bidders. This heightens both technical and commercial risk. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Sep 23: BHEL tightens cost policing in NDCT tender
8Bidders face strict penalties on free - issue steel and cement, coupled with extra bank guarantees on design charges. The unusual evaluation method could narrow competition and raise costs. Whether this becomes a precedent for future NDCT tenders remains to be seen.

No execution period specified in Odisha GIS EPC package
8The tender leaves the completion period blank. Without a defined timeline, bidders cannot calculate escalation or mobilization windows. Contractors may quote inflated contingencies to hedge this risk. Details

765 kV transmission project: Six strong firms qualify without consortia

Sep 23: 8Adani, Torrent, Resonia, and others are in contention in the race for the Latest transmission Line Contracts; all have committed 100% equity, underscoring balance-sheet strength typical of the Latest transmission Line Contracts landscape. The lack of consortia—unusual in many Latest transmission Line Contracts reflects confidence in handling risks solo, aligning with recent trends in Latest transmission Line Contracts. Details

Rs 53 crore EMD sets new liquidity hurdle in SJVN solar EPC

Sep 23: 8The fixed EMD quantum is higher than recent PSU solar norms across Solar power projects. This will filter out mid-tier developers in Solar power projects and favor deep-pocketed EPC firms that dominate Solar power projects. For contractors in Solar power projects, cashflow lock-up must be weighed against execution margins across upcoming Solar power projects. Details

Market Round-up

Sep 22: 1) VRE barely dented peak demand on 2025-09-19
8During the all-India peak, variable renewables contributed just 3.61% of demand met.
Inference — Peak fell in the non-solar window; wind under-delivered relative to evening ramp need.
Why it matters — Peak-hour firmness still leans on thermal and hydro; short VRE share limits price compression headroom.

 
2) Solar window delivered deep VRE penetration intraday
8Within solar hours on 2025-09-19, VRE penetration topped ~30.63% in select blocks.
Inference — Midday surplus is material yet time-bounded; balancing hinges on flexible demand or pumping.
Why it matters — Monetising this shoulder-hour surplus needs storage or load-shift; otherwise curtailment/low MCPs persist.
 

3) Frequency excursions were minimal on Sunday
8On 2025-09-21, total time outside 49.9–50.05 Hz was 0:01:56 (hh:mm:ss).
Inference — Weekend load profile and fewer ramp shocks aided tight control.
Why it matters — Low excursion time caps deviation exposure and reduces ancillaries needed for correction.

 
4) Day-to-day tightening in frequency bands
8Excursion time improved from 0:02:42 (2025-09-19) to 0:01:44 (2025-09-20).
Inference — Better day-ahead schedules and milder ramps likely trimmed control error (cross-check with VRE profiles).
Why it matters — Consistent improvement lowers penalty tails and ancillary spend volatility.

 
5) Eastern Region voltage discipline held at 100% compliance
8On 2025-09-20, major ER 400 kV nodes reported 100.00% time within the IEGC voltage band.
Inference — Adequate VAR/tap management kept corridor transfer capability intact during ramps.
Why it matters — Clean voltage profile preserves ATC and curtails reactive losses, improving transfer economics.

 
6) ATC violations were nil across reported corridors on 2025-09-21
8The System Reliability Indices table shows 0.00% “Percentage of time ATC was violated”.
Inference — Constraints were not binding at corridor level; price spreads reflect supply/mix more than transmission scarcity that day.
Why it matters — On unconstrained days, MCP signals better represent generation stack economics, useful for hedging.

 
7) HPX RTM showed patchy liquidity footprints
8The latest weekly HPX RTM snapshot page contains ~33 ‘0.00’ entries across bids/volumes/schedules.
Inference — Micro-liquidity gaps persist in specific blocks; participants risk partial fills and slippage if not staggered.
Why it matters — Execution quality on RTM improves with sliced orders/venue-mixing; thin books amplify price impact.

 
8) Southern Region ops: clear peak–off-peak energy swing
8SR “Day Energy (Net MU)” display shows distinct off-peak vs evening-peak footprints for 2025-09-21 (values displayed on summary page).
Inference — Load shape remains steep; without storage/PSP absorption, evening dependence on thermal peakers persists.
Why it matters — Peak MU concentration raises exposure to spot volatility; contracts need peak-aligned hedges.

Vendor concentration highlights systemic vulnerability

Sep 22: 8Cooling tower packages remain reliant on two–three Indian players. In the latest thermal power tenders landscape, limited competition risks inflated pricing and weaker bargaining power. Whether BHEL diversifies vendor pools in future packages is the larger question—one that will shape outcomes in latest thermal power tenders.
8If pre-qualification widens and sourcing expands across latest thermal power tenders, the vendor base could deepen; if not, concentration will persist. Stakeholders watching latest thermal power tenders should track bid participation and PQ tweaks closely. Details

Sep 26: 1) Sell depth swamps buys as DAM holds the line
8Purchase bids thinned while sell interest stayed heavy on 2025-09-24, yet MCP didn’t collapse, settling near Rs 3.41/kWh.
Inference — Asymmetric order-book (buys < sells) met with steady scheduled volume suggests disciplined bid shading rather than panic selling.
Why it matters — Price resilience amid a soft buy book implies traders can’t rely on a late-day slide to capture cheaper blocks.

2) HPX-RTM hits near-ceiling prices on wafer-thin clears
8HPX cleared 75 MW at Rs 9,999.75/MWh on 2025-09-19 and 25 MW at Rs 10,000.00/MWh on 2025-09-22; several adjacent days cleared zero.
Inference — Micro-liquidity magnifies slippage; a single block can print the board without indicating true executable depth.
Why it matters — Portfolio desks must slice RTM orders and multi-home across venues or risk paying five-digits for tiny fills.

3) Hydro day-ahead (HPDAM) offered big, cleared zero all week
8Across 2025-09-19→25, HPDAM logged six-figure daily sell bids but zero final scheduled volume.
Inference — Hydro flexibility wasn’t monetised via HPDAM this week, either due to offer pricing above takeout or operators pivoting to alternative products.
Why it matters — Missed hydro clears reduce flexible cover for evening ramps, pushing buyers into pricier RTM/ancillary windows.

4) SCUC tilted net-up: system needed 1.02 lakh MWh of commitment
8On 2025-09-25, SCUC-Up Scheduled totalled 101,730 MWh while SCUC-Down was −81,419 MWh.
Inference — Net positive commitment points to latent tightness outside the headline peak, likely smoothing shoulder-hour ramps.
Why it matters — Ancillary-driven commitment is a hedgeable signal; flexible units can pre-position to capture Rs/MWh spreads around these blocks.

5) Rajasthan plants sit on surplus coal far above norms
8Chhabra-I PH-2 held 227% of normative stock (321.1 vs 141.2 ‘000 T) at a 77% PLF; Suratgarh STPS at 157%; Kota at 121% (all 2025-09-24).
Inference — With fuel cushions intact, dispatch choices (not coal scarcity) are shaping output and market buying.
Why it matters — Utilities can lean more on own fleet before paying up in RTM; mis-scheduling here is a direct Rs/MWh leakage.

6) Tanda cluster remains on planned outage with no firm revival dates
8Multiple Tanda TPS entries show “Non availability of PPA” and blank revival dates under “Expected Revival Date” (continuous outages).
Inference — UP faces concentrated availability risk in one station group; reliance on markets/imports will rise during tight ramps.
Why it matters — SLDCs should pre-cover peak blocks while Tanda remains partially unavailable to avoid Rs-heavy intraday procurement.

7) Grid maintenance is condition-led: AMP and LILO dominate reasons
8Reason/Remarks show AMP referenced 24 times, LILO works 15, CB retrofits 15, CT issues 2, DGA flags 1 (2025-09-25 sheet).
Inference — Outage planning is increasingly condition-based and component-specific, a healthier posture for reliability than generic AMP tags.
Why it matters — Targeted maintenance should reduce systemic congestion risk; price spreads are likelier to reflect stack economics than forced derates.

8) Evening peak held with tiny shortfall; hydro and solar carried weight
8On 2025-09-25 the 20:00 demand met was 2,23,845 MW with peak shortage of just 219 MW; Hydro 789 MU and Solar 476 MU on the day.
Inference — Robust hydro output alongside solar energy ensured adequacy beyond headline evening ramp (even as net SCUC tilted up).
Why it matters — Adequacy with minimal deficit reduces extreme MCP tails; portfolios can prioritise shoulder-hour hedges over brute peak cover.

Water treatment package tender forces lifecycle risk onto contractors

Sep 25: 8Water treatment package tender forces lifecycle risk onto contractors. BHEL’s package for DVC Koderma pushes five-year O&M spares and digital obligations into the EPC baseline. For Thermal power plant tenders in India, this signals a shift in baseline obligations. Smaller firms face capital stress while incumbents leverage references—a pattern seen across Thermal power plant tenders in India. The question for Thermal power plant tenders in India is whether such structuring narrows competition or triggers aggressive pricing. As stakeholders track Thermal power plant tenders in India, outcomes at Koderma will be a bellwether. Details

Cabcon India shifts from conductor supply to EPC bidding under RVPN tender

Sep 25: 8Cabcon India shifts from core conductor supply to EPC bidding under an RVPN substation tender. In the landscape of transmission equipment tenders in India, Cabcon is now vying for turnkey substation execution, aligning with buyers that are widening vendor pools. This pivot within transmission equipment tenders in India reflects deliberate vendor diversification, while positioning the company to compete alongside established EPCs. For bidders tracking transmission equipment tenders in India, the move signals Cabcon’s ambition to climb the value chain and absorb interface risk. As transmission equipment tenders in India increasingly bundle design, procurement, and construction with multi-year O&M, Cabcon’s entry underscores a strategy to leverage manufacturing pedigree into EPC credentials. Observers of transmission equipment tenders in India will read this as a bid to convert product lineage into end-to-end project delivery. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-5

Sep 25: NTPC Pakri Barwadih: Contractors win time, client loses schedule
8Bidders gained three extensions to organise bids. NTPC however faces slippage in coal evacuation timelines. The trade -off shows NTPC prioritising participation over strict adherence to schedule. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-4

Sep 25: DVC may be setting template for digital substation upgrades
8The hybrid advance model and strict legal bars may become precedent. If successful state utilities may replicate in upcoming R&M works. Failure could trigger dilution or rebid.

Simhadri extensions reflect wider CCUS growing pains at NTPC
8Other NTPC carbon capture tenders have also seen scope clarifications and date shifts. This points to a broader trend of procurement bottlenecks in CCUS. Whether these are teething issues or systemic remains to be seen. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-3

Sep 25: Rajasthan adopts rate contract with no minimum draw for 50MVA transformers
8Rajasthan has introduced a rate contract model instead of fixed quantities. The lack of minimum guarantee creates demand uncertainty for OEMs. This marks a structural shift in procurement.

SAS and SLDC integration highlight grid digitalisation
8Control and relay panels FOTE links and SCADA integration are mandatory. WBSETCL is aligning with national smart -grid policy. Contractors must invest in digital expertise. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-2

Sep 25: Grid reliability at stake in Mandya region
8Without Hampapura, existing 220kV feeders remain overloaded. Maddur and Channapattana substations face chronic constraints. Grid stability in southern Karnataka hangs in balance.

Ceiling tariff split raises site viability concerns
8Most projects carry Rs.5.00/kWh ceiling but Odisha site capped at Rs.4.00/kWh. This divergence could skew bidder appetite. Developers may avoid low -tariff sites unless cross -subsidised. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Sep 25: Karnataka RE evacuation gets high priority signal
8Even a 0.25GW and 2.75GW incremental potential triggered a full SPV tender. This reflects MoP’s urgency to unlock every pocket of RE. The policy signal is clear: no delay tolerated in southern grid integration.

REC Mekhali case may set precedent for deadline culture
8Bidders may learn that extensions are routine and plan accordingly. This undermines seriousness of published schedules. It risks normalising deadline erosion in REC’s TBCB model. Details

Market Round-up

Sep 25: 1) DAM bids softened while sell interest swelled; lowest MCP hit mid-week
8Purchase bids tapered through 24-09-2025 even as sell bids stayed elevated; the lowest daily MCP in the 7-day panel landed on 21-09-2025 (~Rs 2.62/kWh).
Inference — A soft buyer book alongside persistent sell depth compressed price, independent of typical weekend effects.
Why it matters — Producers relying on DAM for margin should hedge shoulder-day exposure; buyers can pre-position blocks into low-price days to cut Rs/MWh procurement costs.

2) HPX RTM shows micro-liquidity and near-ceiling prints despite zero clears
8Across 18–24 Sep, multiple days show no cleared volume alongside posted MCP around ~Rs 10.00/kWh on small matched blocks.
Inference — Order-book thinness and sporadic matches create execution risk; slicing orders and multi-venue routing reduces slippage.
Why it matters — Traders transacting size in RTM must avoid “all-or-nothing” submissions; poor slicing could cost lakhs across an evening.

3) Evening peak in ER held a higher frequency than off-peak — inversion of the usual pattern
8On 24-09-2025, ER frequency at the 20:00 peak read 50.06 Hz vs 49.97 Hz at 03:00.
Inference — Peak-hour scheduling discipline (and/or hydro support) beat the pre-dawn profile, flipping the conventional “tight at peak” assumption.
Why it matters — Operators can prioritize frequency watch windows before dawn; RE-plus-thermal portfolios should firm pre-dawn blocks, not only evenings.

4) 765 kV nodes ran perfectly within band for the whole day at several buses
8Agra/Fatehabad 765 kV entries show 100.00% time in the mid-band and 0.00% Voltage Deviation Index for 24-09-2025.
Inference — VAR/tap actions and local reactive support kept UHV voltages centered all day.
Why it matters — With UHV steady, intraday price spreads likely track stack economics rather than voltage-related constraints; grid stability risk is lower on such days.

5) Haryana coal fleet shows surplus stock but middling PLFs — a scheduling, not fuel, story
8Plants report stock well above normative days (e.g., 170–195% of requirement) while current-month PLFs remain ~49–65%.
Inference — Capacity isn’t energy-constrained; dispatch choices or demand profile are limiting output.
Why it matters — Procurement focus should be on intraday market strategy and flexibility, not incremental coal logistics — saving Rs/MWh on avoidable spot purchases.

6) SCUC leaned net-down overnight, then swung up — ancillary pacing visible across the day
824-09-2025 shows sizeable SCUC-Down awards in the early blocks and positive SCUC-Up into business hours; SRAS/TRAS MWh totals reflect this tilt.
Inference — Unit commitment reduced must-run load at night and restored it as daytime ramps arrived, smoothing the MCP path.
Why it matters — Ancillary bids are a hedgeable signal; GENCOs with flexible units can capture Rs-linked value around these inflection windows.

7) UP’s Tanda TPS had multiple units on planned outage with patchy revival dates
8The 24-09-2025 generating-unit log lists several Tanda units under continuous planned outages; some entries carry no firm revival date.
Inference — Near-term availability risk is concentrated in a single station cluster, raising UP’s reliance on imports/markets during tight ramps.
Why it matters — SLDC/portfolio managers should pre-cover evening blocks while Tanda capacity is partially unavailable.

8) AMP/DGA and LILO works dominate 400/220 kV maintenance — granular causes, not generic “AMP”
8Transmission-element report tags causes like “high DGA values,” LILO jumpering, CB dismantling with PIR, and CT circuitry faults across 400/220 kV assets.
Inference — Maintenance is increasingly condition-based (oil/gas analysis, component-level faults), not just scheduled AMP — a healthier reliability posture.
Why it matters — Targeted outages reduce systemic congestion risk; market spreads should be less transmission-driven on such days.

Contracting news for the day: Part-2

Sep 24: PPP model for small -scale gas project raises new questions
8PPP mode is unusual for a sub-100MW plant in India’s gas-based sector, where Gas based power projects in India typically rely on conventional EPC or merchant structures. Such models usually apply to large baseload or renewable projects, not most Gas based power projects in India. With key risk allocation clauses missing, uncertainty rises for lenders and offtakers in Gas based power projects in India. The episode could shape future structuring choices across Gas based power projects in India, especially at sub-100MW scale

NTPC Vindhyachal: Insurance surety bonds break new ground

Market Round-up

Sep 24: 1) Evening peak met at 2.22 lakh MW without deficit
8All-India “Demand Met” at 20:00 hit 2,21,715 MW with zero peak-shortage reported.
Inference — Tight evening scheduling plus flexible hydro likely shouldered the ramp (see hydro MU below).
Why it matters — Confirms evening adequacy on 2025-09-23 without resort to emergency measures; lowers deviation risk costs for states.

2) Hydro outpaced wind by 2.31× in daily energy mix
8Hydro delivered 798 MU vs wind 345 MU (hydro ≈ 2.31× wind) on 2025-09-23.
Inference — Storage/peaking alignment let hydro dominate net energy even with substantial wind in WR/SR.
Why it matters — Strengthens the premium for dispatchable hydro in evening hedges and HPDAM bids.

3) Solar’s 465 MU left the evening ramp to hydro and thermal
8Solar contributed 465 MU (daytime), while evening peak still cleared without shortage.
Inference — The sunset ramp was covered by hydro/thermal rather than residual solar; RE portfolios need firming.
Why it matters — Highlights value of firming contracts/PSP to keep RTM exposure in check around 19:00–21:00.

4) 400 kV work dominated the day’s transmission actions
8The 23-09-2025 element log shows ~277 mentions of “400 kV” vs 64 of “765 kV” (691 rows total).
Inference — Day-to-day operational focus sits at 400 kV (switching, AMP, bay work), with fewer UHV events.
Why it matters — VAR/tap strategy and maintenance windows at 400 kV drive near-term transfer economics and price bases.

5) RTM order-book thinness flags execution risk on HPX
8Latest HPX RTM snapshot shows 31 occurrences of “0.00” values across the grid of block fields.
Inference — Micro-liquidity gaps persist block-wise; single-ticket orders risk slippage unless sliced/multi-venue.
Why it matters — Traders should split orders across blocks/venues to avoid adverse fills in RTM.

6) Thermal output steady at ~56,197 MW across two days
8CEA “dgr1” lists Thermal at 56,196.96 MW for 2025-09-21 and again for 2025-09-22.
Inference — Stable thermal base helped anchor supply; evening adequacy (zero shortage) leaned on hydro flexibility, not extra thermal ramp.
Why it matters — With coal steady, incremental balancing costs hinge on hydro/ancillary rather than coal ramp-rates.

7) Most corridor-nodes showed no ATC violations all day
8We count 86 rows with “0.00%” ATC-violation paired with “100.00%” within-limit time on 23-09-2025.
Inference — Price spreads that did occur were more stack-mix/demand-driven than hard ATC binds that day.
Why it matters — On low-bind days, DAM/RTM bases track generation economics; transmission hedges can be lighter.

8) North led day-peak; WR trailed by 10,365 MW
8Maximum “Demand Met During the Day” was 78,946 MW (NR) vs 68,581 MW (WR); delta 10,365 MW.
Inference — Regional load profile skew favored NR on 23-09-2025; WR’s peak was lower despite high industrial load pockets.
Why it matters — Region-specific hedging: NR shoulders more peak-hour risk; WR can lean more on intraday arbitrage.

Market Round-up

Sep 23: 1) Sub-50 Hz time swelled to 4:31:30 on 2025-09-22
8Total time with frequency below 50.00 Hz was 4:31:30 on 22-09-2025.
Inference — Ramps likely exceeded available fast response despite adequate transmission headroom the previous day (see ATC line-item below).
Why it matters — Longer sub-50 windows raise deviation exposure and ancillary dependence, with knock-on costs for states.

2) Extreme tail control held: <49.9 Hz only 0:02:27
8Even with long sub-50 windows, the grid spent just 0:02:27 under 49.9 Hz.
Inference — Primary/secondary controls clipped deep excursions; stress is in the “shoulder” band, not collapse-risk tails.
Why it matters — Limited time in the penalty tail keeps DSM spikes contained even on tougher ramp days.

3) Ancillary “up” exceeded “down” by ~11% on 2025-09-22
8NLDC scheduled 83,834 MWh SCUC-Up versus 75,164 MWh SCUC-Down (net +8,670 MWh).
Inference — Net upward balancing aligns with longer sub-50 windows the same day, indicating under-scheduling versus realized load/RE.
Why it matters — Extra Up MWh point to firmness scarcity; even at modest Rs/kWh, tens of lakhs can accrue in settlement.

4) Corridor constraints were not the culprit on 2025-09-21
8System Reliability Index shows 0.0% “time ATC was violated” across reported corridors.
Inference — Prior-day price spreads and deviations were demand/dispatch-mix driven, not transmission-bound.
Why it matters — On unconstrained days, MCPs better reflect stack economics; hedges should key off generation, not corridor proxies.

5) HPX RTM prints show micro-liquidity gaps block-wise
8We count ~168 occurrences of “0.00” on HPX RTM snapshot (42) and ~164 on (43).
Inference — Order books go thin in specific blocks; single-ticket execution risks slippage unless sliced across blocks/venues.
Why it matters — For RTM buyers/sellers, slicing improves fill quality; venue-mixing with IEX mitigates impact costs.

6) Transmission element log is dense and skewed to 400 kV assets
8NLDC’s transmission-element workbook for 22-09-2025 lists 654 rows; we detect ~61 entries referencing 400 kV and ~8 referencing 765 kV.
Inference — Operational focus remains on 400 kV elements (switching, outages, constraints) with fewer ultra-high-voltage events that day.
Why it matters — VAR/tap strategy and maintenance windows at 400 kV drive day-to-day transfer economics more than rare 765 kV events.

7) Thermal fleet stayed hefty even ahead of the ancillary-heavy day
8CEA’s daily snapshot lists thermal at ~56,196.96 MW (20-09-2025).
Inference — With thermal already high two days prior, the subsequent ancillary “Up” bias (22-09) suggests intraday forecast miss or RE under-delivery rather than idle thermal headroom.
Why it matters — Persistent reliance on thermal plus balancing services raises landed costs unless forecasting tightens.

8) Generator-outage roster spans the stack, reinforcing the need for balancing
8The 22-09-2025 generator-outage workbook contains both “Planned Outages” and “Forced Outages” sections alongside capacity fields (table header “Capacity MW”).
Inference — Mixed outage types across units compress dispatch flexibility and amplify the need for SCUC Up-calls on ramp days.
Why it matters — Outage mix is a forward indicator for ancillary demand and price dispersion in RTM.

Contracting news for the day: Part-5

Sep 23: Barmer lignite project: State doubles down on lignite
8Unlike national RE thrust, Rajasthan secures lignite baseload a signal closely watched in Thermal power plant tenders. This policy split signals dependence on local resources and reshapes the Thermal power plant tenders outlook. For bidders tracking Thermal power plant tenders, the move suggests a stickier coal-linked pipeline. It may slow coal exit strategy and influence upcoming Thermal power plant tenders. Bottom line: Thermal power plant tenders will mirror this pivot.

Contracting news for the day: Part-3

Sep 23: NTPC coal transport: Six - year PB Northwest package sets high bar
8The long - term contract locks vendors into 15MMT movement with full siding maintenance. Its six - year scope attracts only large, well - capitalised players. The embedded compliance makes this the anchor package for NTPC coal evacuation.

Single E&M subcontractor mandated for Tiuni - Plasu hydro project
8Despite bidder requests, UJVN insists all E&M scope rests with one subcontractor. This limits flexibility but ensures liability clarity. Vendor concentration risk rises. Details

Regulatory Upadate: Part I

Sep 23: NTPC coal contract: Vendors eye relief but financing challenges persist
8Extra time helps contractors finalise bids. But high upfront fleet investment and working capital needs remain unchanged. The core financing bottleneck is untouched by deadline relief.

NTPC CO2 capture tender reflects wider decarbonisation policy struggles
8CCUS remains outside India’s cost - recovery frameworks. Without carbon pricing or subsidy, EPC economics are fraught. This tender delay underscores that policy gap. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-2

Sep 23: NTPC experiments with stricter governance in civil packages
8In NTPC thermal projects, land-border and Class-I supplier clauses are now sector trends. But across NTPC thermal projects, CSR proportionality and denial of MSE benefits are emerging as anomalies. If NTPC thermal projects replicate these moves, they could shift norms in PSU contracting. For bidders in NTPC thermal projects, these shifts alter the compliance math and pricing strategy.

Discom augmentation tender: Legacy SAS integration burden shifted to EPC
8Contractors must integrate ABB and Areva systems with new bays. Full hardware, software, and licensing costs sit with bidders. This heightens both technical and commercial risk. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Sep 23: BHEL tightens cost policing in NDCT tender
8Bidders face strict penalties on free - issue steel and cement, coupled with extra bank guarantees on design charges. The unusual evaluation method could narrow competition and raise costs. Whether this becomes a precedent for future NDCT tenders remains to be seen.

No execution period specified in Odisha GIS EPC package
8The tender leaves the completion period blank. Without a defined timeline, bidders cannot calculate escalation or mobilization windows. Contractors may quote inflated contingencies to hedge this risk. Details

Sep 23: 8Adani, Torrent, Resonia, and others are in contention in the race for the Latest transmission Line Contracts; all have committed 100% equity, underscoring balance-sheet strength typical of the Latest transmission Line Contracts landscape. The lack of consortia—unusual in many Latest transmission Line Contracts reflects confidence in handling risks solo, aligning with recent trends in Latest transmission Line Contracts. Details

Rs 53 crore EMD sets new liquidity hurdle in SJVN solar EPC

Sep 23: 8The fixed EMD quantum is higher than recent PSU solar norms across Solar power projects. This will filter out mid-tier developers in Solar power projects and favor deep-pocketed EPC firms that dominate Solar power projects. For contractors in Solar power projects, cashflow lock-up must be weighed against execution margins across upcoming Solar power projects. Details

Market Round-up

Sep 22: 1) VRE barely dented peak demand on 2025-09-19
8During the all-India peak, variable renewables contributed just 3.61% of demand met.
Inference — Peak fell in the non-solar window; wind under-delivered relative to evening ramp need.
Why it matters — Peak-hour firmness still leans on thermal and hydro; short VRE share limits price compression headroom.

 
2) Solar window delivered deep VRE penetration intraday
8Within solar hours on 2025-09-19, VRE penetration topped ~30.63% in select blocks.
Inference — Midday surplus is material yet time-bounded; balancing hinges on flexible demand or pumping.
Why it matters — Monetising this shoulder-hour surplus needs storage or load-shift; otherwise curtailment/low MCPs persist.
 

3) Frequency excursions were minimal on Sunday
8On 2025-09-21, total time outside 49.9–50.05 Hz was 0:01:56 (hh:mm:ss).
Inference — Weekend load profile and fewer ramp shocks aided tight control.
Why it matters — Low excursion time caps deviation exposure and reduces ancillaries needed for correction.

 
4) Day-to-day tightening in frequency bands
8Excursion time improved from 0:02:42 (2025-09-19) to 0:01:44 (2025-09-20).
Inference — Better day-ahead schedules and milder ramps likely trimmed control error (cross-check with VRE profiles).
Why it matters — Consistent improvement lowers penalty tails and ancillary spend volatility.

 
5) Eastern Region voltage discipline held at 100% compliance
8On 2025-09-20, major ER 400 kV nodes reported 100.00% time within the IEGC voltage band.
Inference — Adequate VAR/tap management kept corridor transfer capability intact during ramps.
Why it matters — Clean voltage profile preserves ATC and curtails reactive losses, improving transfer economics.

 
6) ATC violations were nil across reported corridors on 2025-09-21
8The System Reliability Indices table shows 0.00% “Percentage of time ATC was violated”.
Inference — Constraints were not binding at corridor level; price spreads reflect supply/mix more than transmission scarcity that day.
Why it matters — On unconstrained days, MCP signals better represent generation stack economics, useful for hedging.

 
7) HPX RTM showed patchy liquidity footprints
8The latest weekly HPX RTM snapshot page contains ~33 ‘0.00’ entries across bids/volumes/schedules.
Inference — Micro-liquidity gaps persist in specific blocks; participants risk partial fills and slippage if not staggered.
Why it matters — Execution quality on RTM improves with sliced orders/venue-mixing; thin books amplify price impact.

 
8) Southern Region ops: clear peak–off-peak energy swing
8SR “Day Energy (Net MU)” display shows distinct off-peak vs evening-peak footprints for 2025-09-21 (values displayed on summary page).
Inference — Load shape remains steep; without storage/PSP absorption, evening dependence on thermal peakers persists.
Why it matters — Peak MU concentration raises exposure to spot volatility; contracts need peak-aligned hedges.

Vendor concentration highlights systemic vulnerability

Sep 22: 8Cooling tower packages remain reliant on two–three Indian players. In the latest thermal power tenders landscape, limited competition risks inflated pricing and weaker bargaining power. Whether BHEL diversifies vendor pools in future packages is the larger question—one that will shape outcomes in latest thermal power tenders.
8If pre-qualification widens and sourcing expands across latest thermal power tenders, the vendor base could deepen; if not, concentration will persist. Stakeholders watching latest thermal power tenders should track bid participation and PQ tweaks closely. Details
