Simplex L1 wins chimney package for Nabinagar STPP stage-II — NTPC

Nov 28: 8An aggressive L1 from Simplex at Rs 1,816,961,594.42 breaks the field on NTPC’s chimney package for Nabinagar STPP stage-II.
8The gap to L2 and L3 (18.4% and 22.1% respectively) is large enough to demand scrutiny of scope assumptions and post-award claims risk.
8The award extract omits contract security and milestone detail, which are the principal levers that will determine whether the price saves money or shifts cost to later project phases. Details

SCADA work under revamped distribution sector scheme — UPCL

Nov 28: 8UPCL’s SCADA technical bids were opened on 27 November 2025, but the Part-I record lacks clause-level technical and PQ detail in the uploaded extracts.
8The bidder set skews to specialised integrators, signalling a shallow EPC presence.
8Ambiguities left unresolved now will surface as costly clarifications during evaluation and execution    Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Market Round-up

Nov 28: 1) Block bids pack the shoulders in day-ahead
8DAM screens show denser bid stacks outside the peak on the target day.
Inference: Column layout and row density by delivery block indicate thicker participation in shoulder hours across portals.
Why it matters: Shoulder clustering can tighten spreads and reduce room for late RTM hedges.

2) RTM buy intensity concentrates in brief windows
8RTM pages show compact clusters where purchase bids dominate for a few blocks.
Inference: “Purchase Bid (MWh)” columns visibly outweigh sell stacks in short intervals.
Why it matters: These short squeezes can penalise portfolios lacking intraday flexibility.

3) Hydro day-ahead clears selectively by block
8HPDAM shows cleared volumes appearing only in some delivery blocks, not uniformly.
Inference: “Cleared/Final Scheduled Volume” rows are non-zero in pockets, zero elsewhere.
Why it matters: Selective dispatch reshapes peak cover and can shift demand to RTM.

4) Green day-ahead acceptance trails offers in off-peak
8GDAM tables display bigger offer stacks than final schedules outside core hours.
Inference: Visual gap between “Sell Bid” and “Final Scheduled” columns in off-peak rows.
Why it matters: Sellers face imbalance risk; buyers see thinner green cover in cheaper hours.

5) Weighted price lines look calmer than block prices in RTM
8Where both are shown, the “Weighted MCP” column varies less than instantaneous MCP.
Inference: Side-by-side columns (“MCP” vs “Weighted MCP”) show smoother weighted series.
Why it matters: Portfolios keyed to weighted benchmarks may under-react to short scarcity bursts.

6) DAM sell stacks deepen faster than scheduled fills
8Day-ahead pages show broader sell bids versus more selective final scheduling.
Inference: “Sell Bid” columns visibly exceed “Final Scheduled” across many blocks.
Why it matters: Offerors may need sharper price curves; buyers gain optionality but face partial fills.

7) Ancillary day-ahead clearances arrive in tight clusters
8ASDAM on HPX shows non-zero cleared volumes concentrated in specific 15-minute blocks.
Inference: The “Cleared Volume (MWh)” column is sparse overall but dense in a few rows.
Why it matters: Patchy ancillary clears can reprice flexibility and spill into RTM purchases nearby.

8) TAM strips thicken near week-end deliveries
8The TAM sheet shows more trade rows clustered around end-week delivery dates.
Inference: Line grouping by delivery date indicates heavier strip activity toward week close.
Why it matters: End-week strip buying can reshape DAM/RTM cover strategies and cash timing.

8What these layers imply for margins, engineering exposure and vendor eligibility is far from trivial. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-3

Nov 27: NTPC locks in a high-stakes bulk BTG contest spanning three supercritical stations
8NTPC has rolled out an unusually strict bulk tender stitching together three supercritical BTG packages under one umbrella.

Market Round-up

Nov 27: 1) DAM depth peaked mid-week as schedules climbed
8Final scheduled volume rose to 211,301.82 MWh on 2025-11-26, the highest in the 20–26 Nov window; purchase bids also topped the week at 362,526.77 MWh.
Inference: End-week procurement appetite firmed even as sell bids stayed ample, pointing to stronger D-1 cover rather than scarcity.
Why it matters: Higher cleared volumes reduce intraday top-up risk and smooth portfolio balancing costs.

2) RTM pricing sat in a tight national band
8Average RTM MCP printed Rs 3,697.18/MWh for 20–26 Nov, with a weekly max of Rs 4,020.00/MWh and min of Rs 3,241.93/MWh.
Inference: Intraday price dispersion was contained despite changing load and availability through the week.
Why it matters: A stable RTM band limits volatility premiums for deviation cover and real-time balancing.

3) Sunday produced the softest DAM price point
8Weighted DAM MCP hit the week’s trough at Rs 2,868.87/MWh on 2025-11-23, before rising into 24–26 Nov.
Inference: Typical weekend demand softness and comfortable sell stacks compressed the D-1 clearing price.
Why it matters: Opportunistic buyers could reduce average procurement cost by shifting non-critical load to low-price days.

4) Frequency excursions were numerous despite a near-50.00 mean
8On 2025-11-26, the grid averaged 49.990 Hz while recording 167 excursions above 50.03 Hz and 170 below 49.97 Hz.
Inference: Headline average masked frequent short duration deviations across both tails.
Why it matters: High excursion counts raise DSM exposure and require sharper AGC/secondary control discipline.

5) RE undershoot at midday concentrated in WR and SR
8On 2025-11-26, WR total RE (wind+solar) scheduled 85.03 MU vs actual 81.33 MU (-3.69 MU); SR scheduled 66.92 MU vs actual 60.29 MU (-6.63 MU).
Inference: Midday cloud/wind variability pulled actuals below schedules, requiring compensating dispatch (Inference).
Why it matters: Schedule gaps increase balancing actions and ancillary call probability during solar shoulder hours.

6) Hydro fell short of plan on 2025-11-25
8All-India hydro delivered 284.98 MU against a daily program of 325.21 MU (-40.23 MU; -12.37%).
Inference: Under-delivery from hydro tightened non-RE balancing latitude that day.
Why it matters: When hydro misses plan, thermal/market reliance rises, with potential cost pass-through via spot procurement.

7) Long nuclear outage kept 700 MW off the bar in the North
8Rajasthan APS Unit-7 showed 700 MW under forced maintenance since 04-10-2025 (turbine vibration high), still out on 2025-11-25.
Inference: Extended baseload unavailability likely contributed to the region’s nuclear under-performance versus target.
Why it matters: Prolonged nuclear outages reduce inertia and cheap base units, nudging portfolios toward pricier balancing.

8) Southern Region reported zero ATC and zero (N-1) breaches
8For 2025-11-26, SR corridors logged 0 blocks and 0 hours of ATC violations; (N-1) proxy also showed 0 violations.
Inference: Adequate transfer headroom and topology kept reliability indices clean across the day.
Why it matters: Congestion-free operation lowers basis risk and improves confidence in scheduled interchanges.

Turnkey transformer package sees tight pricing band for RRVPN

Nov 26: 8The bids for a large transformer-cum-line package close within a narrow 9% window. Such clustering hints at disciplined cost estimates or aggressive margin trimming.
8The final price point suggests contractors are absorbing risk to stay competitive. Details

Kota GSS upgradation draws four bidders but key contractual details remain undisclosed

Nov 26: 8RRVPN’s Kota line-construction tender attracted a four-bidder field, signalling contestable interest.
8However, critical commercial and technical clauses remain absent in the published extract.
8This lack of visibility raises margin, interface and execution risks for any serious EPC contender. Details

Market Round-up

Nov 26: 1) DAM–RTM price gap tightened through 19–25 Nov
8Day-ahead weighted MCP ranged Rs 2,868.87–3,301.42/MWh; RTM sat mostly Rs 3,241.93–4,019.99/MWh.
Inference: Narrower daily gaps on 23–25 Nov align with softer DAM (23 Nov) and a mid-range RTM band (23–25 Nov) across exchanges.
Why it matters: Smaller basis between D-1 and intraday reduces procurement risk for portfolios leaning on RTM top-ups.

2) PXIL printed a flat Rs 10,000/MWh across RTM days
8PXIL’s RTM weighted MCP shows Rs 10,000/MWh on 19, 20, 21, 22, 24 and 25-11-2025.
Inference: A fixed-price print with modest scheduled volumes suggests limited depth and competitive tension in this window.
Why it matters: Participants relying on PXIL RTM face all-or-nothing fills at a single price point, complicating cost control.

3) HPX RTM saw near-zero participation over the week
8HPX RTM shows no cleared volume and “0.00” MCP across 19–25-11-2025, with only token purchase bids.
Inference: Sparse order book depth likely inhibited price discovery, keeping the platform sidelined for RTM procurement.
Why it matters: Liquidity fragmentation raises execution risk; portfolios must diversify to avoid missed balancing windows.

4) Frequency held 49.995 Hz mean but showed wide tails
8On 25-11-2025, average frequency was 49.995 Hz; max 50.247 Hz at 06:02, min 49.811 Hz at 17:26:30.
Inference: Morning headroom and evening tightness are consistent with daily load shape, even with a near-50.00 mean.
Why it matters: Wider tails raise imbalance exposure for DSM-sensitive entities despite a benign daily average.

5) Zero corridor ATC violations reported on 25 Nov
8System Reliability Indices list 0 blocks violated for WR–NR, ER–NR, NEW–SR and other headline corridors.
Inference: Unconstrained inter-regional limits reduced forced redispatch risk during the day’s 96 blocks.
Why it matters: Stable transfer capability supports tighter market spreads and cleaner schedule adherence.

6) Southern Region hit forecast close-outs with no peak shortage
8SR’s daily report shows evening-peak demand met at 48,437 MW with frequency 50.09 Hz; Karnataka’s LGBR deviation was −2.76 MU.
Inference: Tight forecast discipline and adequate supply at peak kept deviations in check.
Why it matters: Better forecast accuracy lowers balancing costs and curbs UI/DSM exposure at state peripheries.

7) Coal stock dispersion: Kota above norm, Suratgarh low
8Kota TPS carried 18.2 days (104% of norm) vs Suratgarh entries at 42%–72% of norm on 24-11-2025.
Inference: Divergent inventory cushions imply uneven outage and procurement risk if rail flows tighten.
Why it matters: Plants below normative buffers face higher spot-fuel or interchange dependence during ramps.

8) Voltage discipline was broad, with few mild deviations
8Nodes like Agra, Anta, Bhadla held 100.00% in-band; Ajmer registered 2.85% over-voltage time on 25-11-2025.
Inference: Local reactive support and tap settings kept most 765-kV/400-kV buses compliant, with isolated excursions.
Why it matters: Better VDI cuts VAR intervention costs and stabilises corridor performance.

Contracting news for the day: Part-6

Nov 25: GUVNL RfS Phase-XXVIII pushes evacuation and performance risk onto developers while offering greenshoe scale at discovered L1 tariffs
8GUVNL’s new RfS for 625 MW (greenshoe 625 MW) makes bidders carry full transmission and commissioning risk up to the delivery point.
8The deployment of high per-MW bank guarantees and a 22% CUF floor with 150% tariff penalty on shortfall sharply raises the cost of failure for developers.

Market Round-up

Nov 25: 1) Average frequency steady at 50.03 Hz on 2025-11-24
8All-India average frequency printed 50.03 Hz across the day (T1–T96).
Inference: A benign mean aligns with an absence of large disturbance flags in the day’s top-level reliability set.
Why it matters: A stable 50 Hz anchor lowers inadvertent interchange risk and compresses balancing costs.

2) TTC/ATC sheet shows six “Violated” flags on 2025-11-24
8The daily TTC/ATC report lists six instances of “Violated” across four numbered entries for the day.
Inference: Repeated flags on a handful of corridors point to persistent checks on the same constraints rather than a system-wide bind.
Why it matters: Concentrated constraints can still raise redispatch and congestion management costs over affected blocks.

3) Planned unit outages far outnumber forced: 78 vs 18 (2025-11-24)
8Generating Unit Outage Report shows 78 planned versus 18 forced outages on the day.
Inference: Maintenance windows dominated tripping events, supporting more predictable reserve scheduling.
Why it matters: Planned-heavy mixes typically temper ancillary exposure and reduce volatility across evening peaks.

4) Transmission elements: “C” (continuous) edges “D” (daily) 111 vs 110
8The Transmission Element Report’s daily/continuous field tallies “C”=111 and “D”=110 entries on 2025-11-24.
Inference: A slight tilt toward continuous conditions implies multi-block transfer headroom impacts.
Why it matters: Even marginally higher continuous constraints can propagate price separation risk across multiple 15-minute blocks.

5) Ranchi New 765 kV held 100.00% within voltage band (2025-11-23)
8The ER VDI table lists “RANCHI NEW 765kV” at 100.00% time within the permitted voltage band for the day.
Inference: Node-level voltage discipline at 765 kV suggests adequate reactive support and tap settings through shoulder hours.
Why it matters: Strong bus-level compliance cuts VAR interventions and reduces under/over-voltage penalty exposure.

6) SCUC economics: ECRs clustered ~272.5–302.9 paise/kWh in top rows (D-1)
8The D-1 SCUC table shows examples: NPGC ECR 272.5 paise/kWh (blocks 49–62); Mauda units at ~291.7–297.9 paise/kWh; MTPS-2 at ~300.2 paise/kWh; Telangana STPP at ~302.9 paise/kWh.
Inference: Tight ECR clustering implies a relatively flat marginal stack for coal across core SCUC-eligible blocks.
Why it matters: Flat ECR bands compress clearing price dispersion when ATC is non-binding, stabilising MCP in contiguous blocks.

7) All-India thermal fell short of program: 3,397.68 MU vs 3,800.32 MU (-15.21%)
8CEA’s daily generation table for 2025-11-21 records “ALL INDIA THERMAL” today’s actual at 3,397.68 MU against a program of 3,800.32 MU (-15.21%).
Inference: A program-actual gap of this size likely tightened reserve margins intra-day (without implying causation).
Why it matters: Material shortfalls elevate balancing needs and can widen MCP tails if coincident with corridor constraints.

8) Anta node shows 100.00% compliance in reliability indices snapshot (2025-11-24)
8System Reliability Indices list “Anta” with 0.00% outside and 100.00% within the specified voltage band on the day.
Inference: Node-level compliance here indicates local voltage kept inside target limits across all blocks.
Why it matters: Persistent in-band operation reduces VAR support costs and curbs stress on adjacent corridors.

Market Round-up

Nov 24: 1) DAM–RTM Basis Widens on 2025-11-23 Evening
8Weighted MCP in RTM was ~Rs 3,241.93/MWh versus DAM ~Rs 2,868.87/MWh on 2025-11-23, widening the same-day basis by ~Rs 373/MWh in evening blocks.
Inference: With no documented corridor binds that day, the premium likely reflected intraday scarcity rather than transfer limits (cross-check reliability files).
Why it matters: Portfolios exposed to RTM peaks faced ~Rs 0.37/kWh higher energy cost against pre-positioned DAM volumes.

2) Three-Day HPDAM Offer Stack Went Unused
8Across 2025-11-21 to 2025-11-23, HPDAM carried 876,162.60 MWh of sell bids and 0.00 MWh purchase bids or cleared volume.
Inference: Buyers deferred flexible hydro cover to other products or hours, leaving offered peaking flexibility un-monetised.
Why it matters: Unused hydro flexibility re-surfaces as higher volatility and cost in RTM peaks.

3) HPX “ASDAM” Stayed Dormant All Week
8HPX’s ASDAM product shows zero transaction activity across 17-11-2025 to 23-11-2025 (bids, clears, MCP all 0).
Inference: Thin liquidity in this lane pushes flexibility procurement into DAM/RTM, concentrating price risk elsewhere.
Why it matters: Market depth fragmentation raises execution risk for portfolios counting on product diversity for hedging.

4) 117 Transmission Elements on Continuous Outage; 400 kV Dominates
8Between 2025-11-21 and 2025-11-23, 117 elements are flagged “Continuous” outages; 400 kV accounts for 64 of them (vs 28 at 220 kV).
Inference: Extended topology reductions at 400 kV erode redundancy even on non-binding days, lengthening post-contingency recovery paths.
Why it matters: Medium-term resilience and redispatch costs hinge on clearing these continuous outages.

5) Frequency Variability Halved by 2025-11-23
8Average frequency steadied at 50.001 Hz with FVI 0.0329 on 2025-11-23, versus 49.976 Hz and FVI 0.0870 on 2025-11-21.
Inference: Reduced dispersion (lower FVI) indicates smoother net balancing and fewer costly deviations into the tails.
Why it matters: Lower variability trims balancing costs and DSM exposure without relying on congestion relief.

6) Evening Tail Still Busy: 216 High-Side Excursions Logged on 2025-11-23
8On 2025-11-23, 216 excursions above 50.03 Hz and 175 below 49.97 Hz were recorded despite a benign daily average.
Inference: Even with calm means, tails remained active-signalling fast intra-hour imbalances that aren’t visible in averages.
Why it matters: Operators relying on hourly means risk under-hedging tail events that drive imbalance costs.

7) Reservoirs: Bhakra Level Sits Well Above Last Year
8Bhakra’s present reservoir level ~509.72 m versus 497.82 m on the same day last year (+~11.90 m) on 2025-11-20; Pong and Ranjit Sagar show similar year-on-year gains in the table.
Inference: Stronger storage positions expand hydro’s room for economically timed peaking through the week.
Why it matters: Healthier reservoirs hedge evening MCP risk and reduce ancillary procurement needs.

8) Thermal Forced Outages Cross ~40 GW on 2025-11-21
8CEA’s generation summary lists “FO (Forced Outage)” for thermal at ~40,387.01 MW on 2025-11-21, with total thermal on-line and net generation shown alongside.
Inference: Elevated FO tightens dispatchable capacity headroom, pushing more balancing onto exchanges and ancillary calls.
Why it matters: High FO inflates system balancing costs and can widen DAM-RTM basis during ramps.

Market Round-up

Nov 21: 1) RTM pre-dawn sell stacks overwhelm demand
8Sell bids averaged ~19.46 GW vs ~6.66 GW of purchase bids between 01:00–03:00 on 2025-11-20.
Inference: Oversupply in these blocks likely compressed RTM prints even without corridor binds; this aligns with unconstrained reliability proxies the same day.
Why it matters: Portfolio imbalances can be covered cheaply if orders are timed to the 01:00–03:00 liquidity window.

2) Zero buyer interest in early HPDAM blocks
8Hydro Day-Ahead Market showed 0.00 MW purchase bids across multiple pre-dawn blocks despite non-zero sell bids.
Inference: Buyers deferred flexibility procurement to other products/hours; hydro value went un-monetised during shoulder hours.
Why it matters: Missed hydro hedges can push more exposure into RTM peaks later, increasing cost risk.

3) Reliability proxies green: no (N-1)/ATC breaches observed
8System Reliability Indices list 0.00% violations and 100.00% compliance at representative nodes on 2025-11-20.
Inference: Day-ahead/real-time price dynamics were microstructure-driven, not transmission-constrained.
Why it matters: With corridors clear, trading strategy should emphasise timing/product mix rather than congestion premia.

4) SR TTC/ATC sheet shows no violations
8Southern Region TTC/ATC report flags 0 violations for the day.
Inference: SR inter-regional limits did not bind; any MCP dispersion likely came from bids/ramp rather than transfer caps.
Why it matters: Dispatchers can prioritise price-timing over contingency hedges when SR corridors are unconstrained.

5) Chronic 400 kV line outages point to structural topology work
8Multiple 400 kV elements remain on continuous outage since 2022–2024
Inference: Long-running LILO/commissioning modifications reduce redundancy and can elongate post-contingency recovery paths even on non-binding days.
Why it matters: Medium-term N-1 resilience hinges on restoring these elements; otherwise redispatch risk persists.

6) Gas peakers sidelined: NTPC-led GPS/CCPP units on continuous RSD/PPA issues
8A large cluster of gas-fired units (e.g., Dadri GPS 5–6, Auraiya 5–6, Anta 4) sits on Continuous planned outage (RSD / non-availability of PPA).
Inference: Evening-ramp flexibility is constrained by economics, not capability; states lean more on exchanges for short-cover.
Why it matters: Lower gas-flex raises peak MCP exposure unless covered via hydro/ancillary.

7) 765 kV buses kept voltages within band with healthy headroom
8Voltage Deviation Index for ER shows Ranchi New 765 kV max ≈ 793.17 kV, min ≈ 758.39 kV (time window listed as 00:00–24:00).
Inference: Tight VDI compliance alongside wide absolute kV range indicates effective reactive management without breaching thresholds.
Why it matters: Stable voltage at 765 kV hubs reduces tripping/penalties and supports reliable transfer capability.

8) SCUC merit stack shows wide ECR dispersion across coal stations
8NLDC SCUC table lists materially different ECR readings amongst large coal stations
Inference: A broader ECR spread widens merit-order gaps; small ramp errors can flip unit selections in contiguous blocks.
Why it matters: Portfolios with mixed PPAs should watch ECR-driven switching costs into the morning/evening ladders.

Simplex L1 wins chimney package for Nabinagar STPP stage-II — NTPC

Nov 28: 8An aggressive L1 from Simplex at Rs 1,816,961,594.42 breaks the field on NTPC’s chimney package for Nabinagar STPP stage-II.
8The gap to L2 and L3 (18.4% and 22.1% respectively) is large enough to demand scrutiny of scope assumptions and post-award claims risk.
8The award extract omits contract security and milestone detail, which are the principal levers that will determine whether the price saves money or shifts cost to later project phases. Details

Market Round-up

Nov 28: 1) Block bids pack the shoulders in day-ahead
8DAM screens show denser bid stacks outside the peak on the target day.
Inference: Column layout and row density by delivery block indicate thicker participation in shoulder hours across portals.
Why it matters: Shoulder clustering can tighten spreads and reduce room for late RTM hedges.

2) RTM buy intensity concentrates in brief windows
8RTM pages show compact clusters where purchase bids dominate for a few blocks.
Inference: “Purchase Bid (MWh)” columns visibly outweigh sell stacks in short intervals.
Why it matters: These short squeezes can penalise portfolios lacking intraday flexibility.

3) Hydro day-ahead clears selectively by block
8HPDAM shows cleared volumes appearing only in some delivery blocks, not uniformly.
Inference: “Cleared/Final Scheduled Volume” rows are non-zero in pockets, zero elsewhere.
Why it matters: Selective dispatch reshapes peak cover and can shift demand to RTM.

4) Green day-ahead acceptance trails offers in off-peak
8GDAM tables display bigger offer stacks than final schedules outside core hours.
Inference: Visual gap between “Sell Bid” and “Final Scheduled” columns in off-peak rows.
Why it matters: Sellers face imbalance risk; buyers see thinner green cover in cheaper hours.

5) Weighted price lines look calmer than block prices in RTM
8Where both are shown, the “Weighted MCP” column varies less than instantaneous MCP.
Inference: Side-by-side columns (“MCP” vs “Weighted MCP”) show smoother weighted series.
Why it matters: Portfolios keyed to weighted benchmarks may under-react to short scarcity bursts.

6) DAM sell stacks deepen faster than scheduled fills
8Day-ahead pages show broader sell bids versus more selective final scheduling.
Inference: “Sell Bid” columns visibly exceed “Final Scheduled” across many blocks.
Why it matters: Offerors may need sharper price curves; buyers gain optionality but face partial fills.

7) Ancillary day-ahead clearances arrive in tight clusters
8ASDAM on HPX shows non-zero cleared volumes concentrated in specific 15-minute blocks.
Inference: The “Cleared Volume (MWh)” column is sparse overall but dense in a few rows.
Why it matters: Patchy ancillary clears can reprice flexibility and spill into RTM purchases nearby.

8) TAM strips thicken near week-end deliveries
8The TAM sheet shows more trade rows clustered around end-week delivery dates.
Inference: Line grouping by delivery date indicates heavier strip activity toward week close.
Why it matters: End-week strip buying can reshape DAM/RTM cover strategies and cash timing.

Market Round-up

Nov 27: 1) DAM depth peaked mid-week as schedules climbed
8Final scheduled volume rose to 211,301.82 MWh on 2025-11-26, the highest in the 20–26 Nov window; purchase bids also topped the week at 362,526.77 MWh.
Inference: End-week procurement appetite firmed even as sell bids stayed ample, pointing to stronger D-1 cover rather than scarcity.
Why it matters: Higher cleared volumes reduce intraday top-up risk and smooth portfolio balancing costs.

2) RTM pricing sat in a tight national band
8Average RTM MCP printed Rs 3,697.18/MWh for 20–26 Nov, with a weekly max of Rs 4,020.00/MWh and min of Rs 3,241.93/MWh.
Inference: Intraday price dispersion was contained despite changing load and availability through the week.
Why it matters: A stable RTM band limits volatility premiums for deviation cover and real-time balancing.

3) Sunday produced the softest DAM price point
8Weighted DAM MCP hit the week’s trough at Rs 2,868.87/MWh on 2025-11-23, before rising into 24–26 Nov.
Inference: Typical weekend demand softness and comfortable sell stacks compressed the D-1 clearing price.
Why it matters: Opportunistic buyers could reduce average procurement cost by shifting non-critical load to low-price days.

4) Frequency excursions were numerous despite a near-50.00 mean
8On 2025-11-26, the grid averaged 49.990 Hz while recording 167 excursions above 50.03 Hz and 170 below 49.97 Hz.
Inference: Headline average masked frequent short duration deviations across both tails.
Why it matters: High excursion counts raise DSM exposure and require sharper AGC/secondary control discipline.

5) RE undershoot at midday concentrated in WR and SR
8On 2025-11-26, WR total RE (wind+solar) scheduled 85.03 MU vs actual 81.33 MU (-3.69 MU); SR scheduled 66.92 MU vs actual 60.29 MU (-6.63 MU).
Inference: Midday cloud/wind variability pulled actuals below schedules, requiring compensating dispatch (Inference).
Why it matters: Schedule gaps increase balancing actions and ancillary call probability during solar shoulder hours.

6) Hydro fell short of plan on 2025-11-25
8All-India hydro delivered 284.98 MU against a daily program of 325.21 MU (-40.23 MU; -12.37%).
Inference: Under-delivery from hydro tightened non-RE balancing latitude that day.
Why it matters: When hydro misses plan, thermal/market reliance rises, with potential cost pass-through via spot procurement.

7) Long nuclear outage kept 700 MW off the bar in the North
8Rajasthan APS Unit-7 showed 700 MW under forced maintenance since 04-10-2025 (turbine vibration high), still out on 2025-11-25.
Inference: Extended baseload unavailability likely contributed to the region’s nuclear under-performance versus target.
Why it matters: Prolonged nuclear outages reduce inertia and cheap base units, nudging portfolios toward pricier balancing.

8) Southern Region reported zero ATC and zero (N-1) breaches
8For 2025-11-26, SR corridors logged 0 blocks and 0 hours of ATC violations; (N-1) proxy also showed 0 violations.
Inference: Adequate transfer headroom and topology kept reliability indices clean across the day.
Why it matters: Congestion-free operation lowers basis risk and improves confidence in scheduled interchanges.

Market Round-up

Nov 26: 1) DAM–RTM price gap tightened through 19–25 Nov
8Day-ahead weighted MCP ranged Rs 2,868.87–3,301.42/MWh; RTM sat mostly Rs 3,241.93–4,019.99/MWh.
Inference: Narrower daily gaps on 23–25 Nov align with softer DAM (23 Nov) and a mid-range RTM band (23–25 Nov) across exchanges.
Why it matters: Smaller basis between D-1 and intraday reduces procurement risk for portfolios leaning on RTM top-ups.

2) PXIL printed a flat Rs 10,000/MWh across RTM days
8PXIL’s RTM weighted MCP shows Rs 10,000/MWh on 19, 20, 21, 22, 24 and 25-11-2025.
Inference: A fixed-price print with modest scheduled volumes suggests limited depth and competitive tension in this window.
Why it matters: Participants relying on PXIL RTM face all-or-nothing fills at a single price point, complicating cost control.

3) HPX RTM saw near-zero participation over the week
8HPX RTM shows no cleared volume and “0.00” MCP across 19–25-11-2025, with only token purchase bids.
Inference: Sparse order book depth likely inhibited price discovery, keeping the platform sidelined for RTM procurement.
Why it matters: Liquidity fragmentation raises execution risk; portfolios must diversify to avoid missed balancing windows.

4) Frequency held 49.995 Hz mean but showed wide tails
8On 25-11-2025, average frequency was 49.995 Hz; max 50.247 Hz at 06:02, min 49.811 Hz at 17:26:30.
Inference: Morning headroom and evening tightness are consistent with daily load shape, even with a near-50.00 mean.
Why it matters: Wider tails raise imbalance exposure for DSM-sensitive entities despite a benign daily average.

5) Zero corridor ATC violations reported on 25 Nov
8System Reliability Indices list 0 blocks violated for WR–NR, ER–NR, NEW–SR and other headline corridors.
Inference: Unconstrained inter-regional limits reduced forced redispatch risk during the day’s 96 blocks.
Why it matters: Stable transfer capability supports tighter market spreads and cleaner schedule adherence.

6) Southern Region hit forecast close-outs with no peak shortage
8SR’s daily report shows evening-peak demand met at 48,437 MW with frequency 50.09 Hz; Karnataka’s LGBR deviation was −2.76 MU.
Inference: Tight forecast discipline and adequate supply at peak kept deviations in check.
Why it matters: Better forecast accuracy lowers balancing costs and curbs UI/DSM exposure at state peripheries.

7) Coal stock dispersion: Kota above norm, Suratgarh low
8Kota TPS carried 18.2 days (104% of norm) vs Suratgarh entries at 42%–72% of norm on 24-11-2025.
Inference: Divergent inventory cushions imply uneven outage and procurement risk if rail flows tighten.
Why it matters: Plants below normative buffers face higher spot-fuel or interchange dependence during ramps.

8) Voltage discipline was broad, with few mild deviations
8Nodes like Agra, Anta, Bhadla held 100.00% in-band; Ajmer registered 2.85% over-voltage time on 25-11-2025.
Inference: Local reactive support and tap settings kept most 765-kV/400-kV buses compliant, with isolated excursions.
Why it matters: Better VDI cuts VAR intervention costs and stabilises corridor performance.

8The five-bid field now faces a structurally high-stakes evaluation. Details

Hydel project: Hit and trial

Nov 25: 8The backbone package of this hydel project has been rebuilt through thirteen corrigenda and four rounds of clarifications.
8Every tunnel, shaft, ventilation norm and support system has been re-drawn, re-defined or re-explained.
8Bidders now face a far tougher, more exacting contract than the one originally issued.
8But clearly not enough due diligence was done when the tender was first floated. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Nov 25: NEEPCO recalibrates QCBS and extends bid timeline repeatedly for Tato-I hydro PMC tender
8A volatile QCBS structure has reshaped the competitive field for the tato-i hydro pmc bid.

Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-5

Nov 25: UJVNL compresses the entire Tiuni-Plasu HEP into a single EPC contract, shifting hydropower risk and integration to one bidder
8The Tiuni-Plasu EPC tender forces a single contractor to shoulder civil tunnelling, HM integration and turbine-generator commissioning without traditional package buffers.
8UJVNL’s shift away from multi-package civil splits tightens accountability but sharply raises design-risk exposure.
8The stakes now rest on which bidder can price geotechnical uncertainty, EM performance and EPC interfaces into a 60-month delivery window.

PGCIL Odisha projects issues tightly scoped 4-tr tower ac procurement under strict mii and bis compliance
8PGCIL’s new hvac package hides more complexity than its modest value suggests.
8The insistence on non-inverter bis-certified units reshapes who can bid and at what risk.
8The real story lies in how installation exclusions and mii filters will alter competition at the sub-station level. Details

Contracting news for the day: Part-6

Nov 25: GUVNL RfS Phase-XXVIII pushes evacuation and performance risk onto developers while offering greenshoe scale at discovered L1 tariffs
8GUVNL’s new RfS for 625 MW (greenshoe 625 MW) makes bidders carry full transmission and commissioning risk up to the delivery point.
8The deployment of high per-MW bank guarantees and a 22% CUF floor with 150% tariff penalty on shortfall sharply raises the cost of failure for developers.
8Greenshoe at L1 with a 10-day acceptance window lets GUVNL scale at market price but forces bidders to mobilise substantial additional securities Details

Market Round-up

Nov 25: 1) Average frequency steady at 50.03 Hz on 2025-11-24
8All-India average frequency printed 50.03 Hz across the day (T1–T96).
Inference: A benign mean aligns with an absence of large disturbance flags in the day’s top-level reliability set.
Why it matters: A stable 50 Hz anchor lowers inadvertent interchange risk and compresses balancing costs.

2) TTC/ATC sheet shows six “Violated” flags on 2025-11-24
8The daily TTC/ATC report lists six instances of “Violated” across four numbered entries for the day.
Inference: Repeated flags on a handful of corridors point to persistent checks on the same constraints rather than a system-wide bind.
Why it matters: Concentrated constraints can still raise redispatch and congestion management costs over affected blocks.

3) Planned unit outages far outnumber forced: 78 vs 18 (2025-11-24)
8Generating Unit Outage Report shows 78 planned versus 18 forced outages on the day.
Inference: Maintenance windows dominated tripping events, supporting more predictable reserve scheduling.
Why it matters: Planned-heavy mixes typically temper ancillary exposure and reduce volatility across evening peaks.

4) Transmission elements: “C” (continuous) edges “D” (daily) 111 vs 110
8The Transmission Element Report’s daily/continuous field tallies “C”=111 and “D”=110 entries on 2025-11-24.
Inference: A slight tilt toward continuous conditions implies multi-block transfer headroom impacts.
Why it matters: Even marginally higher continuous constraints can propagate price separation risk across multiple 15-minute blocks.

5) Ranchi New 765 kV held 100.00% within voltage band (2025-11-23)
8The ER VDI table lists “RANCHI NEW 765kV” at 100.00% time within the permitted voltage band for the day.
Inference: Node-level voltage discipline at 765 kV suggests adequate reactive support and tap settings through shoulder hours.
Why it matters: Strong bus-level compliance cuts VAR interventions and reduces under/over-voltage penalty exposure.

6) SCUC economics: ECRs clustered ~272.5–302.9 paise/kWh in top rows (D-1)
8The D-1 SCUC table shows examples: NPGC ECR 272.5 paise/kWh (blocks 49–62); Mauda units at ~291.7–297.9 paise/kWh; MTPS-2 at ~300.2 paise/kWh; Telangana STPP at ~302.9 paise/kWh.
Inference: Tight ECR clustering implies a relatively flat marginal stack for coal across core SCUC-eligible blocks.
Why it matters: Flat ECR bands compress clearing price dispersion when ATC is non-binding, stabilising MCP in contiguous blocks.

7) All-India thermal fell short of program: 3,397.68 MU vs 3,800.32 MU (-15.21%)
8CEA’s daily generation table for 2025-11-21 records “ALL INDIA THERMAL” today’s actual at 3,397.68 MU against a program of 3,800.32 MU (-15.21%).
Inference: A program-actual gap of this size likely tightened reserve margins intra-day (without implying causation).
Why it matters: Material shortfalls elevate balancing needs and can widen MCP tails if coincident with corridor constraints.

8) Anta node shows 100.00% compliance in reliability indices snapshot (2025-11-24)
8System Reliability Indices list “Anta” with 0.00% outside and 100.00% within the specified voltage band on the day.
Inference: Node-level compliance here indicates local voltage kept inside target limits across all blocks.
Why it matters: Persistent in-band operation reduces VAR support costs and curbs stress on adjacent corridors.

Market Round-up

Nov 24: 1) DAM–RTM Basis Widens on 2025-11-23 Evening
8Weighted MCP in RTM was ~Rs 3,241.93/MWh versus DAM ~Rs 2,868.87/MWh on 2025-11-23, widening the same-day basis by ~Rs 373/MWh in evening blocks.
Inference: With no documented corridor binds that day, the premium likely reflected intraday scarcity rather than transfer limits (cross-check reliability files).
Why it matters: Portfolios exposed to RTM peaks faced ~Rs 0.37/kWh higher energy cost against pre-positioned DAM volumes.

2) Three-Day HPDAM Offer Stack Went Unused
8Across 2025-11-21 to 2025-11-23, HPDAM carried 876,162.60 MWh of sell bids and 0.00 MWh purchase bids or cleared volume.
Inference: Buyers deferred flexible hydro cover to other products or hours, leaving offered peaking flexibility un-monetised.
Why it matters: Unused hydro flexibility re-surfaces as higher volatility and cost in RTM peaks.

3) HPX “ASDAM” Stayed Dormant All Week
8HPX’s ASDAM product shows zero transaction activity across 17-11-2025 to 23-11-2025 (bids, clears, MCP all 0).
Inference: Thin liquidity in this lane pushes flexibility procurement into DAM/RTM, concentrating price risk elsewhere.
Why it matters: Market depth fragmentation raises execution risk for portfolios counting on product diversity for hedging.

4) 117 Transmission Elements on Continuous Outage; 400 kV Dominates
8Between 2025-11-21 and 2025-11-23, 117 elements are flagged “Continuous” outages; 400 kV accounts for 64 of them (vs 28 at 220 kV).
Inference: Extended topology reductions at 400 kV erode redundancy even on non-binding days, lengthening post-contingency recovery paths.
Why it matters: Medium-term resilience and redispatch costs hinge on clearing these continuous outages.

5) Frequency Variability Halved by 2025-11-23
8Average frequency steadied at 50.001 Hz with FVI 0.0329 on 2025-11-23, versus 49.976 Hz and FVI 0.0870 on 2025-11-21.
Inference: Reduced dispersion (lower FVI) indicates smoother net balancing and fewer costly deviations into the tails.
Why it matters: Lower variability trims balancing costs and DSM exposure without relying on congestion relief.

6) Evening Tail Still Busy: 216 High-Side Excursions Logged on 2025-11-23
8On 2025-11-23, 216 excursions above 50.03 Hz and 175 below 49.97 Hz were recorded despite a benign daily average.
Inference: Even with calm means, tails remained active-signalling fast intra-hour imbalances that aren’t visible in averages.
Why it matters: Operators relying on hourly means risk under-hedging tail events that drive imbalance costs.

7) Reservoirs: Bhakra Level Sits Well Above Last Year
8Bhakra’s present reservoir level ~509.72 m versus 497.82 m on the same day last year (+~11.90 m) on 2025-11-20; Pong and Ranjit Sagar show similar year-on-year gains in the table.
Inference: Stronger storage positions expand hydro’s room for economically timed peaking through the week.
Why it matters: Healthier reservoirs hedge evening MCP risk and reduce ancillary procurement needs.

8) Thermal Forced Outages Cross ~40 GW on 2025-11-21
8CEA’s generation summary lists “FO (Forced Outage)” for thermal at ~40,387.01 MW on 2025-11-21, with total thermal on-line and net generation shown alongside.
Inference: Elevated FO tightens dispatchable capacity headroom, pushing more balancing onto exchanges and ancillary calls.
Why it matters: High FO inflates system balancing costs and can widen DAM-RTM basis during ramps.

Market Round-up

Nov 21: 1) RTM pre-dawn sell stacks overwhelm demand
8Sell bids averaged ~19.46 GW vs ~6.66 GW of purchase bids between 01:00–03:00 on 2025-11-20.
Inference: Oversupply in these blocks likely compressed RTM prints even without corridor binds; this aligns with unconstrained reliability proxies the same day.
Why it matters: Portfolio imbalances can be covered cheaply if orders are timed to the 01:00–03:00 liquidity window.

2) Zero buyer interest in early HPDAM blocks
8Hydro Day-Ahead Market showed 0.00 MW purchase bids across multiple pre-dawn blocks despite non-zero sell bids.
Inference: Buyers deferred flexibility procurement to other products/hours; hydro value went un-monetised during shoulder hours.
Why it matters: Missed hydro hedges can push more exposure into RTM peaks later, increasing cost risk.

3) Reliability proxies green: no (N-1)/ATC breaches observed
8System Reliability Indices list 0.00% violations and 100.00% compliance at representative nodes on 2025-11-20.
Inference: Day-ahead/real-time price dynamics were microstructure-driven, not transmission-constrained.
Why it matters: With corridors clear, trading strategy should emphasise timing/product mix rather than congestion premia.

4) SR TTC/ATC sheet shows no violations
8Southern Region TTC/ATC report flags 0 violations for the day.
Inference: SR inter-regional limits did not bind; any MCP dispersion likely came from bids/ramp rather than transfer caps.
Why it matters: Dispatchers can prioritise price-timing over contingency hedges when SR corridors are unconstrained.

5) Chronic 400 kV line outages point to structural topology work
8Multiple 400 kV elements remain on continuous outage since 2022–2024
Inference: Long-running LILO/commissioning modifications reduce redundancy and can elongate post-contingency recovery paths even on non-binding days.
Why it matters: Medium-term N-1 resilience hinges on restoring these elements; otherwise redispatch risk persists.

6) Gas peakers sidelined: NTPC-led GPS/CCPP units on continuous RSD/PPA issues
8A large cluster of gas-fired units (e.g., Dadri GPS 5–6, Auraiya 5–6, Anta 4) sits on Continuous planned outage (RSD / non-availability of PPA).
Inference: Evening-ramp flexibility is constrained by economics, not capability; states lean more on exchanges for short-cover.
Why it matters: Lower gas-flex raises peak MCP exposure unless covered via hydro/ancillary.

7) 765 kV buses kept voltages within band with healthy headroom
8Voltage Deviation Index for ER shows Ranchi New 765 kV max ≈ 793.17 kV, min ≈ 758.39 kV (time window listed as 00:00–24:00).
Inference: Tight VDI compliance alongside wide absolute kV range indicates effective reactive management without breaching thresholds.
Why it matters: Stable voltage at 765 kV hubs reduces tripping/penalties and supports reliable transfer capability.

8) SCUC merit stack shows wide ECR dispersion across coal stations
8NLDC SCUC table lists materially different ECR readings amongst large coal stations
Inference: A broader ECR spread widens merit-order gaps; small ramp errors can flip unit selections in contiguous blocks.
Why it matters: Portfolios with mixed PPAs should watch ECR-driven switching costs into the morning/evening ladders.
