Market Round-up
Nov 13:
1) RTM’s mid-day trough coincided with the day’s heaviest sell-overhang
8On 2025-11-12, RTM MCP fell to ~Rs 1.65/kWh around Hour 12.
Inference: The same hour shows extreme sell-side overhang (Purchase 6,917 MWh vs Sell 31,217 MWh), pointing to a pure order-book effect rather than corridor constraints.
Why it matters: Mid-day compression coming from bid-stack asymmetry is tradable; desks can pre-shape coverage before frequency or ATC signals kick in.
2) Ancillary down-regulation was massive even as prices looked “benign”
8On 2025-11-12, SRAS+TRAS dispatched −60,211 MWh Down vs +18,849 MWh Up (net −41,362 MWh).
Inference: The mid-day RTM trough (Rs ~1.65/kWh) aligns with sustained down-mileage, indicating balancing costs that don’t show up in MCPs.
Why it matters: Downward reserves absorb surplus at a real cost; procurement teams should budget beyond MCP, as these costs flow into delivered Rs/kWh.
3) Frequency looked compliant on average, but the tails were busy
8On 2025-11-12, Average Frequency was 49.988 Hz with FVI 0.0268, yet there were 216 excursions below 49.97 Hz and 173 above 50.03 Hz; mileage 52.2.
Inference: High excursion counts alongside big down-mileage suggest persistent fine-tuning rather than a single scarcity event.
Why it matters: Frequent small corrections add to ancillary procurement and wear-and-tear costs even when “headline” frequency seems on-target.
4) Eastern pocket shows voltage tails despite otherwise calm conditions
8On 2025-11-11, ER’s 400 kV Godda spent 5.21% of the day above the IEGC band (≈1.25 hours), average 417.40 kV (min 414.03, max 421.42).
Inference: Reactive margin at this node is thin; the tail is localised rather than an all-day corridor story.
Why it matters: Repeated VAR shortfalls raise losses and equipment stress; targeted capacitor/STATCOM can shave hidden paise/kWh for connected loads.
5) Liquidity gaps on HPX hydro-peaking impede hedgeability of flexibility
8On 2025-11-12, multiple HPX HPDAM hour-blocks cleared at zero (e.g., 06:00–07:00 shows 0.00 across bids/MCV).
Inference: Hydro flexibility isn’t consistently monetisable on HPX yet, limiting its use as a peaking hedge.
Why it matters: Buyers counting on hydro-hour auctions to shape evening risk may need a cross-product mix (RTM + bilateral) until HPX depth improves.
6) RTM’s intraday shape flipped from early firmness to noon softness
8On 2025-11-12, RTM MCP was ~Rs 4.06/kWh in Hour 7 and ~Rs 1.65/kWh by Hour 12 (block-average rows).
Inference: Shape risk, not day-average price, is the bigger P&L driver; portfolios tied only to DAM or only to RTM face avoidable slippage.
Why it matters: With blocks shifting by >Rs 2/kWh within hours, static hedges underperform; desks should time-slice with rule-based triggers.
7) Evening reserve posture was tight even before classic peak hours
8On 2025-11-12, SRAS+TRAS “Max MW” reached 2,464 MW (Up) and −12,231 MW (Down) on the day.
Inference: Large absolute reserve movements before/around shoulders point to unit-commitment corrections rather than only peak chasing.
Why it matters: Commit-and-decommit costs and cycling fatigue rise; factoring reserve mileage into make-or-buy decisions can save crores over a month.
8) RTM’s daily average stayed ~Rs 2.31/kWh despite intraday whipsaws
8On 2025-11-12, the summary row shows daily RTM MCP ~Rs 2,311–2,312/MWh (≈Rs 2.31/kWh), bracketing a wide 1.65–4.06 intraday range.
Inference: A calm daily average can mask volatile block-level risk; variance, not mean, should drive hedge size.
Why it matters: A 2.5× price swing inside one trading day can add Rs-crore exposure to uncovered portfolios even when the “average” looks tame.

Market Round-up
Nov 12:
1) RTM printed a single-block Rs 100.00/kWh spike without broad ATC stress
8One RTM block on 2025-11-11 cleared at Rs 10,000/MWh (Rs 100.00/kWh) at Hour 18.
Inference: System-wide ATC breaches were minimal that day (only ER→NR for 2 blocks), so the spike likely reflected local scarcity rather than inter-regional binds.
Why it matters: A block-level shock of this size can add crores to uncovered portfolios in a single 15-minute interval even when national corridors are largely unconstrained.
2) Ancillary down-regulation was massive as DAM slumped sub-Rs 2 mid-day
8Total TRAS (tertiary reserve) down-energy dispatched was −58,495 MWh on 2025-11-11, with SRAS+TRAS net −36,482 MWh.
Inference: The same noon window saw DAM clearing at Rs 1.38–1.85/kWh around Hours 10–12, consistent with over-supply being absorbed by downward reserves.
Why it matters: Heavy down-reg mileage during low-price hours signals real balancing costs even when exchange prices look benign—costs that flow into delivered Rs/kWh.
3) DAM–RTM basis inverted twice within the day, widening execution risk
8At Hour 11 (2025-11-11), DAM MCP (~Rs 1.38/kWh) cleared below RTM (~Rs 1.93/kWh); by Hour 18, RTM spiked to Rs 100.00/kWh while DAM stayed around Rs 3.82–3.90/kWh.
Inference: Intraday fundamentals flipped quickly—from surplus noon conditions to acute evening scarcity—demanding product-mix agility rather than single-product reliance.
Why it matters: A static “DAM-only” or “RTM-only” hedge can materially underperform; shaping across both is necessary when basis flips within hours.
4) Frequency looked “on target” on average, but excursions were heavy
8Average frequency on 2025-11-11 was 49.999 Hz with FVI 0.0402, yet there were 199 excursions below 49.97 Hz and 164 above 50.03 Hz; mileage was 53.6.
Inference: Short, frequent deviations imply persistent fine-tuning rather than prolonged scarcity/surplus—aligning with sizable ancillary dispatch the same day.
Why it matters: High excursion counts and mileage translate into ancillary procurement costs, even when headline averages seem compliant.
5) Voltage-band tails clustered in the north-west pocket despite calm ATC
8Ajmer sat outside the IEGC 400 kV band for 2.78% of the day (max 803 kV, min 759 kV; avg 783 kV). Anta and Bhiwani registered 2.15% and 2.01% outside-band time respectively.
Inference: Local reactive margins, not corridor constraints, likely drove these tails—consistent with low ATC violation counts the same day.
Why it matters: Recurrent, small VAR shortfalls add losses and equipment stress; targeted capacitor/STATCOM deployment could shave hidden paise/kWh for connected loads.
6) ER→NR ATC breached for only 2 blocks, yet price risk concentrated later
8ER→NR recorded 2 ATC-violation blocks (0.50 h; 2.08%) on 2025-11-11; other major corridors showed 0% ATC violations.
Inference: Evening price stress (RTM Hour 18) was localized/scarcity-driven rather than a day-long inter-regional bind—helpful for corridor-specific hedging.
Why it matters: When constraints are episodic and corridor-specific, buyers should time-slice hedges instead of paying all-day premiums.
7) Western thermal under-ran program sharply a day earlier, setting a tight base
8On 2025-11-10, Western Region thermal “Today’s Program” was 1,449.65 MU vs “Today’s Actual” 1,197.23 MU (−252.42 MU).
Inference: The program shortfall likely reduced thermal slack heading into 2025-11-11’s evening peak, increasing the system’s dependence on markets/ancillary.
Why it matters: A 250+ MU thermal miss can compound next-day evening premiums if not offset by hydro or imports—buyers should watch program-to-actual deltas.
8) DAM order-book skew signalled surplus well before noon compression
8At Hour 11 on 2025-11-11, DAM sell bids (46,178.20 MWh) were ~5.26× purchase bids (8,777.93 MWh), with MCP at ~Rs 1.38/kWh.
Inference: The extreme sell-side overhang foreshadowed price compression without invoking any corridor-bind narrative.
Why it matters: Monitoring bid-stack asymmetry helps desks pre-empt price slides and re-shape procurement from peaks to troughs in time.

Market Round-up
Nov 11:
1) RTM ended the week at its priciest on 2025-11-10
8RTM MCP printed the weekly high at Rs 3.39/kWh on 2025-11-10, with cleared volume ~146.76 GWh for the day.
Inference: The weekly pattern shows MCP bottoming on 2025-11-09 (Rs 2.25/kWh) and peaking the very next day, signalling a sharp tighten-then-release sequence across 96 blocks.
Why it matters: Such day-over-day swings can move portfolio purchase costs by crores even without corridor binds if block-wise hedges aren’t aligned.
2) Hydro-peaking auction stayed dormant all week
8HPDAM reported zero cleared volume for every day of 2025-11-04 to 2025-11-10 despite sizable sell bids.
Inference: With no HPDAM clears, hydro flexibility likely monetised via other products or reserved for schedules/ancillary, leaving peak insurance to DAM/RTM.
Why it matters: A consistently idle HPDAM reduces transparent price discovery for peaking energy and shifts peak risk into less specialised markets.
3) Evening peak was met system-wide; hydro and solar were material in day energy
8All-India demand met at the evening peak reached 186,231 MW (19:00), with maximum demand met during the day at 192,252 MW (18:23). Hydro delivered 411 MU; solar 487 MU on 2025-11-10.
Inference: Hydro ≈10.30% and solar ≈12.20% of 3,991 MU energy met (calculated from the same report), cushioning peak procurement (chain: Energy Met 3,991 MU; Hydro 411 MU; Solar 487 MU).
Why it matters: A ~22.5% hydro+solar share in daily energy met reduces reliance on thermal ramping and intraday market premiums.
4) Ajmer sat outside the IEGC voltage band for ~4% of the day
8Ajmer recorded voltage outside the 400 kV band for 4.03% of the time on 2025-11-10 (max 801 kV, min 764 kV; avg 785 kV).
Inference: A low but persistent tail outside the band suggests local reactive support margins were occasionally tight even without region-wide stress flags.
Why it matters: Recurrent small breaches raise equipment stress and losses; targeted VAR interventions could cut hidden Rs/kWh costs for connected loads.
5) Frequency held near 50 Hz but excursion count was non-trivial
8Average frequency was 49.994 Hz with FDI 0.0631 and 135 excursions above 50.03 Hz on 2025-11-10 (peak 50.342 Hz at 15:05:30; trough 49.613 Hz at 06:28:10).
Inference: Tight average with many short excursions points to frequent small balancing actions rather than prolonged scarcity or surplus.
Why it matters: High excursion counts drive ancillary mileage and balancing costs that ultimately feed into delivered Rs/kWh.
6) Western thermal under-ran its daily program by ~252 MU on 2025-11-08
8Western Region thermal “Today’s Program” was 1,451.41 MU against “Today’s Actual” 1,199.45 MU (deviation −251.96 MU).
Inference: The shortfall (vs program) likely shifted marginal procurement into markets/ancillary the next day unless offset by hydro or imports.
Why it matters: A ~252 MU thermal miss can translate to several crores of incremental purchase cost if bridged at higher Rs/kWh.
7) Forced outages summed to ~4.18 GW on 2025-11-10
8“Generating Unit Outage Report” lists Total Forced Outage (coal+state sector) at 4,181.71 MW for 2025-11-10.
Inference: Concentrated forced unavailability at this scale meaningfully narrows real-time flexibility even when inter-regional ATC shows no bind.
Why it matters: Each lost GW during peak translates to higher MCPs or ancillary procurement; outage reduction has a direct Rs/kWh pay-off.
8) DAM stayed dearer than RTM on a weekly weighted basis (2025-11-04 to 2025-11-10)
8Weighted average DAM MCP printed Rs 3.23/kWh for the week, while RTM’s weighted average MCP was Rs 2.62/kWh over the same dates.
Inference: Participants who leaned on RTM for flexible cover likely saved vs week-ahead DAM baseload, barring peak blocks; the basis favoured intraday hedging.
Why it matters: System operators and large buyers can clip weekly energy costs by shaping more into RTM when the weekly weighted basis is this wide.

Market Round-up
Nov 10:
1) Midday DAM briefly floored under Rs 1.00/kWh
8DAM MCP printed Rs 0.89/kWh at 10:00 on 2025-11-07.
Inference: A deep daytime soft patch coincided with stable transfer conditions; short-term buyers could have leaned on DAM instead of intraday hedges.
Why it matters: Sub-Re 1.00/kWh prints materially cut average purchase cost for portfolios able to re-profile schedules around these blocks.
2) Price cap blocks clustered in evening on both markets
8DAM hit the Rs 10.00/kWh cap at 19:00 on 2025-11-07; RTM hit the cap at 18:00.
Inference: Peak scarcity was sharp enough to max out MCPs sequentially across DAM then RTM, suggesting short-lived tightness rather than a corridor bind.
Why it matters: Cap blocks spike balancing costs; a single capped hour at 1,000 MWh is Rs 10.00 crore of gross exposure.
3) DAM–RTM basis flipped direction intraday
8At 10:00 on 2025-11-07, RTM priced +Rs 0.74/kWh above DAM; by 19:00, RTM priced –Rs 7.18/kWh below DAM.
Inference: Participants paid up for RTM midday flexibility but shifted to DAM cover by peak, pointing to changing risk premia across the day.
Why it matters: Basis volatility creates P&L swing for portfolios that routinely roll between DAM and RTM without hour-level guardrails.
4) GDAM delivered a flat Rs 5.00/kWh daytime hedge
8Multiple early-day hours on 2025-11-07 cleared at Rs 5.00/kWh on GDAM with steady MCV around ~4,000 MWh.
Inference: GDAM provided a predictable mid-tier price anchor against highly variable DAM prints in adjacent hours.
Why it matters: Portfolios with intermittent exposure can use GDAM to cap daytime costs without over-paying for peak insurance.
5) Ancillary stack was sizable even with modest day frequency
8On 2025-11-06, SRAS up 7,585 MWh / down 4,280 MWh; TRAS up 4,773 MWh / down 85,670 MWh; combined max swing ±18,635 MW.
Inference: Considerable tertiary actions (down) point to sustained surplus-to-balance conditions despite only short frequency excursions.
Why it matters: Ancillary spend scales with these volumes; aligning unit commitment could trim Rs/kWh adders embedded in retail tariffs.
6) Southern Region met peak without shortages at near-nominal frequency
8On 2025-11-07 at 19:00, SR demand met 49,330 MW with zero shortage and frequency 50.02 Hz; off-peak 03:00 met 38,474 MW at 49.99 Hz.
Inference: Adequate hydro/thermal positioning plus imports scheduled ahead likely smoothed the peak without deviation flags.
Why it matters: Demonstrates that disciplined pre-positioning can suppress both shortage headlines and deviation charges.
7) Hydro materially out-performed program in the South
8Southern Region hydro delivered 161.62 MU vs program 92.66 MU on 2025-11-06 (today’s actual).
Inference: Extra hydro energy reduced thermal burn and market dependency during shoulders.
Why it matters: Over-performance of ~68.96 MU in a day can shave Rs-crore-scale purchase costs if scheduled optimally.
8) Haryana showed full-fleet forced maintenance on the day
8On 2025-11-06, Haryana listed 1,660 MW under forced maintenance and 0 MW planned, with sizable under-realisation vs program.
Inference: Concentrated unplanned outages, rather than corridor limits, drove the state’s shortfall risk that day.
Why it matters: Prolonged forced maintenance raises reliance on market purchases and ancillary interventions, inflating Rs/kWh delivered.

Market Round-up
Nov 07:
1) RTM evening jump outpaced midday by Rs 1.76/kWh
8RTM MCP rose from Rs 0.75/kWh at 11:00 to Rs 2.50/kWh at 15:00 on 2025-11-06.
Inference: Intraday demand tightness amplified price discovery in RTM’s afternoon blocks relative to noon.
Why it matters: A Rs 1.76/kWh swing within four hours raises balancing costs for utilities exposed to intraday purchases.
2) DAM midday trough contrasted with morning firmness
8DAM MCP printed Rs 1.14/kWh at 10:00 versus Rs 3.48/kWh at 07:00 on 2025-11-06.
Inference: Day-time surplus tightened less than morning ramp needs, compressing midday MCPs.
Why it matters: Scheduling that leans on midday purchases can shave portfolio average by over Rs 2.34/kWh across these hours.
3) HPX RTM stayed idle while IEX remained active
8HPX RTM showed zero cleared volume and zero MCP across 2025-10-31 to 2025-11-06, including 2025-11-06.
Inference: Participants concentrated real-time liquidity on IEX for the target day, leaving HPX inactive.
Why it matters: Exchange choice risk is real—dual-listing alone won’t secure fill in RTM when one book is dry.
4) Voltage band breaches surfaced at Ajmer 765 kV
8Ajmer recorded voltage above IEGC band for 2.99% of the day on 2025-11-06.
Inference: Local reactive conditions tightened despite no concurrent ATC/TTC breach flags.
Why it matters: Even when transfers look “OK”, pockets of over-voltage can raise equipment stress and losses.
5) Coal stock–PLF mismatch flagged at Rajiv Gandhi TPS
8Rajiv Gandhi TPS held coal stocks at 177% of normative with 0% PLF on 2025-11-05.
Inference: Inventory build against zero output points to outage/economic shutdown decoupling fuel logistics from dispatch.
Why it matters: Carrying excess stock at idle units ties up working capital and rail slots.
6) HPGCL fleet carried 182% of normative coal at 23% PLF
8Haryana’s HPGCL total showed PLF 23% with coal stock at 182% of normative on 2025-11-05.
Inference: System-level fuel buffers ran high relative to low utilisation, hinting at conservative stocking.
Why it matters: Excess buffers increase financing and storage costs without proportional generation benefit.
7) Northern hydro outperformed program on 2025-11-04
8Northern Region hydro generated 150.31 MU against a 134.16 MU program on 2025-11-04.
Inference: Flexible hydro met a larger share of daily energy than planned despite thermal under-realisation.
Why it matters: Over-performance here gives schedulers headroom to reduce peak-hour market exposure.
8) ATC breaches were zero across major corridors
8On 2025-11-06, System Reliability Indices reported 0 hours violated for WR↔NR, ER↔NR, NEW↔SR and NER import.
Inference: Transfer limits did not bind system-wide even as local voltage deviations appeared at select nodes.
Why it matters: With ATC headroom intact, price signals likely reflected generation-mix dynamics more than corridor constraints.

Market Round-up
Nov 13:
1) RTM’s mid-day trough coincided with the day’s heaviest sell-overhang
8On 2025-11-12, RTM MCP fell to ~Rs 1.65/kWh around Hour 12.
Inference: The same hour shows extreme sell-side overhang (Purchase 6,917 MWh vs Sell 31,217 MWh), pointing to a pure order-book effect rather than corridor constraints.
Why it matters: Mid-day compression coming from bid-stack asymmetry is tradable; desks can pre-shape coverage before frequency or ATC signals kick in.
2) Ancillary down-regulation was massive even as prices looked “benign”
8On 2025-11-12, SRAS+TRAS dispatched −60,211 MWh Down vs +18,849 MWh Up (net −41,362 MWh).
Inference: The mid-day RTM trough (Rs ~1.65/kWh) aligns with sustained down-mileage, indicating balancing costs that don’t show up in MCPs.
Why it matters: Downward reserves absorb surplus at a real cost; procurement teams should budget beyond MCP, as these costs flow into delivered Rs/kWh.
3) Frequency looked compliant on average, but the tails were busy
8On 2025-11-12, Average Frequency was 49.988 Hz with FVI 0.0268, yet there were 216 excursions below 49.97 Hz and 173 above 50.03 Hz; mileage 52.2.
Inference: High excursion counts alongside big down-mileage suggest persistent fine-tuning rather than a single scarcity event.
Why it matters: Frequent small corrections add to ancillary procurement and wear-and-tear costs even when “headline” frequency seems on-target.
4) Eastern pocket shows voltage tails despite otherwise calm conditions
8On 2025-11-11, ER’s 400 kV Godda spent 5.21% of the day above the IEGC band (≈1.25 hours), average 417.40 kV (min 414.03, max 421.42).
Inference: Reactive margin at this node is thin; the tail is localised rather than an all-day corridor story.
Why it matters: Repeated VAR shortfalls raise losses and equipment stress; targeted capacitor/STATCOM can shave hidden paise/kWh for connected loads.
5) Liquidity gaps on HPX hydro-peaking impede hedgeability of flexibility
8On 2025-11-12, multiple HPX HPDAM hour-blocks cleared at zero (e.g., 06:00–07:00 shows 0.00 across bids/MCV).
Inference: Hydro flexibility isn’t consistently monetisable on HPX yet, limiting its use as a peaking hedge.
Why it matters: Buyers counting on hydro-hour auctions to shape evening risk may need a cross-product mix (RTM + bilateral) until HPX depth improves.
6) RTM’s intraday shape flipped from early firmness to noon softness
8On 2025-11-12, RTM MCP was ~Rs 4.06/kWh in Hour 7 and ~Rs 1.65/kWh by Hour 12 (block-average rows).
Inference: Shape risk, not day-average price, is the bigger P&L driver; portfolios tied only to DAM or only to RTM face avoidable slippage.
Why it matters: With blocks shifting by >Rs 2/kWh within hours, static hedges underperform; desks should time-slice with rule-based triggers.
7) Evening reserve posture was tight even before classic peak hours
8On 2025-11-12, SRAS+TRAS “Max MW” reached 2,464 MW (Up) and −12,231 MW (Down) on the day.
Inference: Large absolute reserve movements before/around shoulders point to unit-commitment corrections rather than only peak chasing.
Why it matters: Commit-and-decommit costs and cycling fatigue rise; factoring reserve mileage into make-or-buy decisions can save crores over a month.
8) RTM’s daily average stayed ~Rs 2.31/kWh despite intraday whipsaws
8On 2025-11-12, the summary row shows daily RTM MCP ~Rs 2,311–2,312/MWh (≈Rs 2.31/kWh), bracketing a wide 1.65–4.06 intraday range.
Inference: A calm daily average can mask volatile block-level risk; variance, not mean, should drive hedge size.
Why it matters: A 2.5× price swing inside one trading day can add Rs-crore exposure to uncovered portfolios even when the “average” looks tame.

Market Round-up
Nov 12:
1) RTM printed a single-block Rs 100.00/kWh spike without broad ATC stress
8One RTM block on 2025-11-11 cleared at Rs 10,000/MWh (Rs 100.00/kWh) at Hour 18.
Inference: System-wide ATC breaches were minimal that day (only ER→NR for 2 blocks), so the spike likely reflected local scarcity rather than inter-regional binds.
Why it matters: A block-level shock of this size can add crores to uncovered portfolios in a single 15-minute interval even when national corridors are largely unconstrained.
2) Ancillary down-regulation was massive as DAM slumped sub-Rs 2 mid-day
8Total TRAS (tertiary reserve) down-energy dispatched was −58,495 MWh on 2025-11-11, with SRAS+TRAS net −36,482 MWh.
Inference: The same noon window saw DAM clearing at Rs 1.38–1.85/kWh around Hours 10–12, consistent with over-supply being absorbed by downward reserves.
Why it matters: Heavy down-reg mileage during low-price hours signals real balancing costs even when exchange prices look benign—costs that flow into delivered Rs/kWh.
3) DAM–RTM basis inverted twice within the day, widening execution risk
8At Hour 11 (2025-11-11), DAM MCP (~Rs 1.38/kWh) cleared below RTM (~Rs 1.93/kWh); by Hour 18, RTM spiked to Rs 100.00/kWh while DAM stayed around Rs 3.82–3.90/kWh.
Inference: Intraday fundamentals flipped quickly—from surplus noon conditions to acute evening scarcity—demanding product-mix agility rather than single-product reliance.
Why it matters: A static “DAM-only” or “RTM-only” hedge can materially underperform; shaping across both is necessary when basis flips within hours.
4) Frequency looked “on target” on average, but excursions were heavy
8Average frequency on 2025-11-11 was 49.999 Hz with FVI 0.0402, yet there were 199 excursions below 49.97 Hz and 164 above 50.03 Hz; mileage was 53.6.
Inference: Short, frequent deviations imply persistent fine-tuning rather than prolonged scarcity/surplus—aligning with sizable ancillary dispatch the same day.
Why it matters: High excursion counts and mileage translate into ancillary procurement costs, even when headline averages seem compliant.
5) Voltage-band tails clustered in the north-west pocket despite calm ATC
8Ajmer sat outside the IEGC 400 kV band for 2.78% of the day (max 803 kV, min 759 kV; avg 783 kV). Anta and Bhiwani registered 2.15% and 2.01% outside-band time respectively.
Inference: Local reactive margins, not corridor constraints, likely drove these tails—consistent with low ATC violation counts the same day.
Why it matters: Recurrent, small VAR shortfalls add losses and equipment stress; targeted capacitor/STATCOM deployment could shave hidden paise/kWh for connected loads.
6) ER→NR ATC breached for only 2 blocks, yet price risk concentrated later
8ER→NR recorded 2 ATC-violation blocks (0.50 h; 2.08%) on 2025-11-11; other major corridors showed 0% ATC violations.
Inference: Evening price stress (RTM Hour 18) was localized/scarcity-driven rather than a day-long inter-regional bind—helpful for corridor-specific hedging.
Why it matters: When constraints are episodic and corridor-specific, buyers should time-slice hedges instead of paying all-day premiums.
7) Western thermal under-ran program sharply a day earlier, setting a tight base
8On 2025-11-10, Western Region thermal “Today’s Program” was 1,449.65 MU vs “Today’s Actual” 1,197.23 MU (−252.42 MU).
Inference: The program shortfall likely reduced thermal slack heading into 2025-11-11’s evening peak, increasing the system’s dependence on markets/ancillary.
Why it matters: A 250+ MU thermal miss can compound next-day evening premiums if not offset by hydro or imports—buyers should watch program-to-actual deltas.
8) DAM order-book skew signalled surplus well before noon compression
8At Hour 11 on 2025-11-11, DAM sell bids (46,178.20 MWh) were ~5.26× purchase bids (8,777.93 MWh), with MCP at ~Rs 1.38/kWh.
Inference: The extreme sell-side overhang foreshadowed price compression without invoking any corridor-bind narrative.
Why it matters: Monitoring bid-stack asymmetry helps desks pre-empt price slides and re-shape procurement from peaks to troughs in time.

8One RTM block on 2025-11-11 cleared at Rs 10,000/MWh (Rs 100.00/kWh) at Hour 18.
Inference: System-wide ATC breaches were minimal that day (only ER→NR for 2 blocks), so the spike likely reflected local scarcity rather than inter-regional binds.
Why it matters: A block-level shock of this size can add crores to uncovered portfolios in a single 15-minute interval even when national corridors are largely unconstrained.
2) Ancillary down-regulation was massive as DAM slumped sub-Rs 2 mid-day
8Total TRAS (tertiary reserve) down-energy dispatched was −58,495 MWh on 2025-11-11, with SRAS+TRAS net −36,482 MWh.
Inference: The same noon window saw DAM clearing at Rs 1.38–1.85/kWh around Hours 10–12, consistent with over-supply being absorbed by downward reserves.
Why it matters: Heavy down-reg mileage during low-price hours signals real balancing costs even when exchange prices look benign—costs that flow into delivered Rs/kWh.

Market Round-up
Nov 11:
1) RTM ended the week at its priciest on 2025-11-10
8RTM MCP printed the weekly high at Rs 3.39/kWh on 2025-11-10, with cleared volume ~146.76 GWh for the day.
Inference: The weekly pattern shows MCP bottoming on 2025-11-09 (Rs 2.25/kWh) and peaking the very next day, signalling a sharp tighten-then-release sequence across 96 blocks.
Why it matters: Such day-over-day swings can move portfolio purchase costs by crores even without corridor binds if block-wise hedges aren’t aligned.
2) Hydro-peaking auction stayed dormant all week
8HPDAM reported zero cleared volume for every day of 2025-11-04 to 2025-11-10 despite sizable sell bids.
Inference: With no HPDAM clears, hydro flexibility likely monetised via other products or reserved for schedules/ancillary, leaving peak insurance to DAM/RTM.
Why it matters: A consistently idle HPDAM reduces transparent price discovery for peaking energy and shifts peak risk into less specialised markets.
3) Evening peak was met system-wide; hydro and solar were material in day energy
8All-India demand met at the evening peak reached 186,231 MW (19:00), with maximum demand met during the day at 192,252 MW (18:23). Hydro delivered 411 MU; solar 487 MU on 2025-11-10.
Inference: Hydro ≈10.30% and solar ≈12.20% of 3,991 MU energy met (calculated from the same report), cushioning peak procurement (chain: Energy Met 3,991 MU; Hydro 411 MU; Solar 487 MU).
Why it matters: A ~22.5% hydro+solar share in daily energy met reduces reliance on thermal ramping and intraday market premiums.
4) Ajmer sat outside the IEGC voltage band for ~4% of the day
8Ajmer recorded voltage outside the 400 kV band for 4.03% of the time on 2025-11-10 (max 801 kV, min 764 kV; avg 785 kV).
Inference: A low but persistent tail outside the band suggests local reactive support margins were occasionally tight even without region-wide stress flags.
Why it matters: Recurrent small breaches raise equipment stress and losses; targeted VAR interventions could cut hidden Rs/kWh costs for connected loads.
5) Frequency held near 50 Hz but excursion count was non-trivial
8Average frequency was 49.994 Hz with FDI 0.0631 and 135 excursions above 50.03 Hz on 2025-11-10 (peak 50.342 Hz at 15:05:30; trough 49.613 Hz at 06:28:10).
Inference: Tight average with many short excursions points to frequent small balancing actions rather than prolonged scarcity or surplus.
Why it matters: High excursion counts drive ancillary mileage and balancing costs that ultimately feed into delivered Rs/kWh.
6) Western thermal under-ran its daily program by ~252 MU on 2025-11-08
8Western Region thermal “Today’s Program” was 1,451.41 MU against “Today’s Actual” 1,199.45 MU (deviation −251.96 MU).
Inference: The shortfall (vs program) likely shifted marginal procurement into markets/ancillary the next day unless offset by hydro or imports.
Why it matters: A ~252 MU thermal miss can translate to several crores of incremental purchase cost if bridged at higher Rs/kWh.
7) Forced outages summed to ~4.18 GW on 2025-11-10
8“Generating Unit Outage Report” lists Total Forced Outage (coal+state sector) at 4,181.71 MW for 2025-11-10.
Inference: Concentrated forced unavailability at this scale meaningfully narrows real-time flexibility even when inter-regional ATC shows no bind.
Why it matters: Each lost GW during peak translates to higher MCPs or ancillary procurement; outage reduction has a direct Rs/kWh pay-off.
8) DAM stayed dearer than RTM on a weekly weighted basis (2025-11-04 to 2025-11-10)
8Weighted average DAM MCP printed Rs 3.23/kWh for the week, while RTM’s weighted average MCP was Rs 2.62/kWh over the same dates.
Inference: Participants who leaned on RTM for flexible cover likely saved vs week-ahead DAM baseload, barring peak blocks; the basis favoured intraday hedging.
Why it matters: System operators and large buyers can clip weekly energy costs by shaping more into RTM when the weekly weighted basis is this wide.

Market Round-up
Nov 10:
1) Midday DAM briefly floored under Rs 1.00/kWh
8DAM MCP printed Rs 0.89/kWh at 10:00 on 2025-11-07.
Inference: A deep daytime soft patch coincided with stable transfer conditions; short-term buyers could have leaned on DAM instead of intraday hedges.
Why it matters: Sub-Re 1.00/kWh prints materially cut average purchase cost for portfolios able to re-profile schedules around these blocks.
2) Price cap blocks clustered in evening on both markets
8DAM hit the Rs 10.00/kWh cap at 19:00 on 2025-11-07; RTM hit the cap at 18:00.
Inference: Peak scarcity was sharp enough to max out MCPs sequentially across DAM then RTM, suggesting short-lived tightness rather than a corridor bind.
Why it matters: Cap blocks spike balancing costs; a single capped hour at 1,000 MWh is Rs 10.00 crore of gross exposure.
3) DAM–RTM basis flipped direction intraday
8At 10:00 on 2025-11-07, RTM priced +Rs 0.74/kWh above DAM; by 19:00, RTM priced –Rs 7.18/kWh below DAM.
Inference: Participants paid up for RTM midday flexibility but shifted to DAM cover by peak, pointing to changing risk premia across the day.
Why it matters: Basis volatility creates P&L swing for portfolios that routinely roll between DAM and RTM without hour-level guardrails.
4) GDAM delivered a flat Rs 5.00/kWh daytime hedge
8Multiple early-day hours on 2025-11-07 cleared at Rs 5.00/kWh on GDAM with steady MCV around ~4,000 MWh.
Inference: GDAM provided a predictable mid-tier price anchor against highly variable DAM prints in adjacent hours.
Why it matters: Portfolios with intermittent exposure can use GDAM to cap daytime costs without over-paying for peak insurance.
5) Ancillary stack was sizable even with modest day frequency
8On 2025-11-06, SRAS up 7,585 MWh / down 4,280 MWh; TRAS up 4,773 MWh / down 85,670 MWh; combined max swing ±18,635 MW.
Inference: Considerable tertiary actions (down) point to sustained surplus-to-balance conditions despite only short frequency excursions.
Why it matters: Ancillary spend scales with these volumes; aligning unit commitment could trim Rs/kWh adders embedded in retail tariffs.
6) Southern Region met peak without shortages at near-nominal frequency
8On 2025-11-07 at 19:00, SR demand met 49,330 MW with zero shortage and frequency 50.02 Hz; off-peak 03:00 met 38,474 MW at 49.99 Hz.
Inference: Adequate hydro/thermal positioning plus imports scheduled ahead likely smoothed the peak without deviation flags.
Why it matters: Demonstrates that disciplined pre-positioning can suppress both shortage headlines and deviation charges.
7) Hydro materially out-performed program in the South
8Southern Region hydro delivered 161.62 MU vs program 92.66 MU on 2025-11-06 (today’s actual).
Inference: Extra hydro energy reduced thermal burn and market dependency during shoulders.
Why it matters: Over-performance of ~68.96 MU in a day can shave Rs-crore-scale purchase costs if scheduled optimally.
8) Haryana showed full-fleet forced maintenance on the day
8On 2025-11-06, Haryana listed 1,660 MW under forced maintenance and 0 MW planned, with sizable under-realisation vs program.
Inference: Concentrated unplanned outages, rather than corridor limits, drove the state’s shortfall risk that day.
Why it matters: Prolonged forced maintenance raises reliance on market purchases and ancillary interventions, inflating Rs/kWh delivered.

Market Round-up
Nov 07:
1) RTM evening jump outpaced midday by Rs 1.76/kWh
8RTM MCP rose from Rs 0.75/kWh at 11:00 to Rs 2.50/kWh at 15:00 on 2025-11-06.
Inference: Intraday demand tightness amplified price discovery in RTM’s afternoon blocks relative to noon.
Why it matters: A Rs 1.76/kWh swing within four hours raises balancing costs for utilities exposed to intraday purchases.
2) DAM midday trough contrasted with morning firmness
8DAM MCP printed Rs 1.14/kWh at 10:00 versus Rs 3.48/kWh at 07:00 on 2025-11-06.
Inference: Day-time surplus tightened less than morning ramp needs, compressing midday MCPs.
Why it matters: Scheduling that leans on midday purchases can shave portfolio average by over Rs 2.34/kWh across these hours.
3) HPX RTM stayed idle while IEX remained active
8HPX RTM showed zero cleared volume and zero MCP across 2025-10-31 to 2025-11-06, including 2025-11-06.
Inference: Participants concentrated real-time liquidity on IEX for the target day, leaving HPX inactive.
Why it matters: Exchange choice risk is real—dual-listing alone won’t secure fill in RTM when one book is dry.
4) Voltage band breaches surfaced at Ajmer 765 kV
8Ajmer recorded voltage above IEGC band for 2.99% of the day on 2025-11-06.
Inference: Local reactive conditions tightened despite no concurrent ATC/TTC breach flags.
Why it matters: Even when transfers look “OK”, pockets of over-voltage can raise equipment stress and losses.
5) Coal stock–PLF mismatch flagged at Rajiv Gandhi TPS
8Rajiv Gandhi TPS held coal stocks at 177% of normative with 0% PLF on 2025-11-05.
Inference: Inventory build against zero output points to outage/economic shutdown decoupling fuel logistics from dispatch.
Why it matters: Carrying excess stock at idle units ties up working capital and rail slots.
6) HPGCL fleet carried 182% of normative coal at 23% PLF
8Haryana’s HPGCL total showed PLF 23% with coal stock at 182% of normative on 2025-11-05.
Inference: System-level fuel buffers ran high relative to low utilisation, hinting at conservative stocking.
Why it matters: Excess buffers increase financing and storage costs without proportional generation benefit.
7) Northern hydro outperformed program on 2025-11-04
8Northern Region hydro generated 150.31 MU against a 134.16 MU program on 2025-11-04.
Inference: Flexible hydro met a larger share of daily energy than planned despite thermal under-realisation.
Why it matters: Over-performance here gives schedulers headroom to reduce peak-hour market exposure.
8) ATC breaches were zero across major corridors
8On 2025-11-06, System Reliability Indices reported 0 hours violated for WR↔NR, ER↔NR, NEW↔SR and NER import.
Inference: Transfer limits did not bind system-wide even as local voltage deviations appeared at select nodes.
Why it matters: With ATC headroom intact, price signals likely reflected generation-mix dynamics more than corridor constraints.

Inference: Flexible hydro met a larger share of daily energy than planned despite thermal under-realisation.
Why it matters: Over-performance here gives schedulers headroom to reduce peak-hour market exposure.
8) ATC breaches were zero across major corridors
8On 2025-11-06, System Reliability Indices reported 0 hours violated for WR↔NR, ER↔NR, NEW↔SR and NER import.
Inference: Transfer limits did not bind system-wide even as local voltage deviations appeared at select nodes.
Why it matters: With ATC headroom intact, price signals likely reflected generation-mix dynamics more than corridor constraints.
