329 MW extension from Farakka STPP sought for monsoon quarter
8The petition also seeks to extend a 329.36 MW allocation from Farakka Stage I & II till September 2025. This extension continues an existing supply arrangement, essential for meeting base-load demand post-summer.
Centre clears fresh 250 MW from western pool, petitioner seeks adjournment
8Following the Ministry of Power’s approval of a new 250 MW allocation from the Western Region (w.e.f. July–Sept 2025), the petitioner has asked BERC to defer the current hearing to include this in its revised prayer.
Southern region power supply extended till Q2 FY26
8MoP’s latest notification prolongs the 250 MW southern region allocation till 30 September 2025 providing continuity in Bihar’s inter-regional supply strategy during a transition to monsoon stability.
Regulatory hearing deferred to 17 July for updated submissions
8Bihar State Power Holding Company Limited has been granted time till 17 July 2025 to revise its submission to reflect recent allocations. BERC’s flexibility indicates regulatory support for dynamic short-term power balancing needs.

Northern grid faces rising July stress: A comparative study

Jul 09: Summer forecasts signal worsening supply gap across Northern region
8Despite temporary improvement in May due to rainfall, the Northern Region now faces a 1,604 MU shortfall in July 2025. Delhi and Rajasthan remain surplus, but Punjab and Haryana show worrying deficits. States like Chandigarh and Himachal also post negative balances.
Punjab warned for dismantling Pathankot islanding without clearance
8The OCC has again raised serious concerns over Punjab SLDC’s unilateral dismantling of the Pathankot-RSD islanding scheme. Restoration timelines are still pending, and the NRPC warned against such unapproved actions that risk grid security.
Real-time market flagged as unreliable for shortfall management
8Despite widespread reliance on power exchanges to bridge demand gaps, NRPC reiterated that states must not depend on Real-Time or Day-Ahead Markets. Long-term tie-ups are necessary to maintain resource adequacy amid volatile grid conditions.
SPS proposed at 400 kV Panki to contain overloading risks
8To mitigate N-1 non-compliance at Panki substation, Uttar Pradesh State Load Despatch Centre proposed a System Protection Scheme that trips lower-priority feeders in sequence. The OCC found the logic sound but flagged the need for reviewing overcurrent protection thresholds.
Khurja STPP flags safety risks from ramp rate mismatch
8Khurja Supercritical plant raised operational stress concerns over ramping schedules set by Uttar Pradesh State Load Despatch Centre. Current block-level ramp targets are nearly double the sustainable threshold, risking turbine and boiler fatigue, prompting OCC to reassess feasibility norms.
Rain-dampened demand in May delays pressure but sets up July surge
8Unseasonal rain in May helped suppress peak demand across Delhi, Rajasthan, and Punjab. However, the July forecast shows sharp increases with Punjab expected to hit 16,950?MW and Haryana crossing 15,500 MW, testing the region’s resource buffer.

Coal stock gaps widen across regions

Jul 09: Northern region sees moderate coal security, but UP flags early-stage risk
8Despite stable stock levels across most Haryana and Punjab plants, key stations in Uttar Pradesh like Anpara C and Barkhera are operating with only 9 days and 81 days of stock respectively. Barkhera’s unusually high stock appears as an anomaly in a region otherwise averaging around 30–45 days.
Western region faces extremes: Some plants dip to critical, others hoard surplus
8Chhattisgarh’s Akaltara and Adani Raigarh units reflect criticality with only 5–9 days of stock, while Uchpinda Thermal Power Plant has piled up over 93 days. Maharashtra too shows divergence Adani Tirora has just 1 day of coal left, flagged for IR issues, whereas Chandrapur and Bhusawal hold over 20 days’ supply.
Southern region presents sharp contrasts in coal logistics
8Andhra Pradesh's Rayalaseema and Damodaram units show critical stock levels with 5–6 days buffer, despite instructions to lift from MCL. Meanwhile, Karnataka’s Kudgi and Raichur units display healthy inventory buffers of 35 and 37 days respectively, underlining state-level disparity.
Coal import share negligible despite low stock alerts in key plants
8Even among plants with less than 10 days of coal, imports remain absent or negligible. Of 141 plants listed, less than a dozen show any imported coal presence indicating continued reliance on domestic linkage and logistical bottlenecks for international sourcing.
Eastern region battles mid-level risk, Jharkhand stays mostly stable
8Bihar and Odisha plants hover between 17–35 days of coal stock, with Kahalgaon and IB Valley barely above the 10-day mark. Jharkhand, while constrained on daily requirements, reports stable inventory at Bokaro, Tenughat, and Chandrapura units.
National average coal stock stable at 25 days, but 13 plants under 10-day threshold
8While the total coal stock across all CIL-linked plants stands at 52.7 million tonnes equating to a 25-day average multiple plants such as Pathadi (8 days), Damodaram (6 days), Adani Raipur (5 days), and Rayalaseema (5 days) remain on the brink of supercriticality under CEA norms.

Jul 08: RS. 75 CRORE-PLUS RURAL DISTRIBUTION UPGRADE SEES FIVE-WAY BID COMPETITION
8A large-scale capex package for a northern DISCOM’s rural zone drew five technically qualified bidders, indicating healthy interest under stable qualification norms. Competitive bidding narrowed the financial spread, with the L1 margin appearing modest
8While five bidders cleared technical evaluation, the financial bids suggest a tightly contested race. The L1 bid emerged around Rs. 77 crore, with others not far behind, hinting at margin-squeezed execution
8The majority of supply and installation items revolve around AB cable network reconfigurations and installation of 11/0.433 kV transformers a signal of focus on improving last-mile reliability Details

Jul 08: BID ELIGIBILITY TIGHTENED FOR HYDRO-MECHANICAL GATE EXPERIENCE IN 700 MW HYDRO PROJECT
8The owner has refused all requests to dilute the qualification requirement for vertical gate works. Bidders must prove experience with large-capacity fixed wheel gates using rope drum hoists, a clear barrier for less-proven players in hydropower projects in India.
8The technical bar has been set at a minimum 3000 m³ for gate capacity, eliminating proposals seeking marginal relaxation. Lower-capacity gate experience was not accepted underscoring strict prequalification norms across large hydropower projects in India.
8The 3000 m³ minimum gate capacity points to a potentially high-risk river diversion strategy. This sizing ensures full gate operability under peak Himalayan flows, reflecting the engineering rigor now being seen in critical hydropower projects in India.
8Since the experience clause applies even to JV/consortium members or subcontractors, only OEMs with vertical gate credentials will qualify. Civil contractors alone cannot leverage their credentials—tightening entry barriers in high-value hydropower projects in India.

DEVELOPER DEMANDS FULL ROPE DRUM HOIST CREDENTIALS FOR TUNNEL GATE PACKAGE
8Despite suggestions to allow hydraulic hoist systems, the owner insists that bidders must have commissioned rope drum hoists specifically—signaling a zero-compromise approach on operational reliability for tunnel diversion.
8The clarification asserts that fixed wheel type gates and rope drum hoists must both be part of the bidder’s executed portfolio—not either/or. This blocks firms with partial or alternate experience.
8By reiterating a strict 20-year execution record tied to specific hoist and gate configurations, the tender practically filters in only the most experienced EPC contractors or OEM-joint ventures.
8No substitution allowed: Only fixed wheel vertical gates with specified sizing and rope drum hoists in hydro/water resource settings will count. That closes the door on players offering only radial gate or hydraulic hoist credentials.

Tariff freeze and capex caution mark early years of SEZ power licensee: GERC

Jul 08: Truing up for FY 2023-24 reveals Rs. 18.11 crore gap
8TPL-Dholera’s operations in its formative year resulted in a sharp revenue shortfall of Rs. 18.11 crore, driven by high fixed costs on a nascent consumer base. The Commission has, however, deferred final truing up, citing lack of demand stabilization and partial network utilization.
ARR for FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30 pegged at Rs. 1,345 crore
8Projected Aggregate Revenue Requirement for the five-year MYT period indicates aggressive infrastructure rollout, with cumulative ARR touching Rs. 1,345 crore. Power purchase alone accounts for nearly Rs. 1,145 crore, reflecting growing supply-side commitments.
FY 2025-26 shows Rs. 22.22 crore revenue gap at existing tariff
8Even with Dahej SEZ tariffs and revised FPPPA of Rs. 2.83/unit, a revenue deficit of Rs. 22.22 crore is projected for FY 2025-26. TPL-Dholera seeks recovery via tariff alignment and defers the remainder to future truing-up.
Commission rejects new tariff proposal, extends Dahej SEZ rates
8Invoking inherent powers under Regulation 7, the Commission declined to approve fresh tariffs for FY 2025-26, citing underutilized network and uncertain load patterns. Existing Dahej SEZ tariff structure has been extended to Dholera SIR consumers until further notice.
Rs. 138 crore capex cleared for next 5 years, but with caution
8TPL-Dholera’s capital expenditure plan of Rs. 138.33 crore for FY 2025–30 was noted but not directly endorsed. The Commission flagged concerns over initial underutilization and cautioned that burdening a small consumer base with high fixed cost recovery may be premature.

PXIL: Daily review

Jul 08: IDAS markets show scattered activity amid broad non-participation
8Out of the nine uploaded regional IDAS/RTM reports, most show no recorded MCV, scheduled volumes, or MCPs indicating either data blackout, transmission issues, or market inactivity. Only two zones reflected active bidding behavior with visible patterns.
Southern region sees demand buildup but no transactions recorded
8In the southern IDAS file (px15d), while sell bids surged sharply post 6:00 hrs to a peak of 162 MWh in afternoon hours, no market clearing or scheduling took place. Purchase interest only sporadically appeared, mostly around evening ramps.
Western region bids rise from 100 MWh to over 600 MWh, but no clearing
8The pxdh report revealed aggressive sell bidding from early morning (100 MWh) to a high of 637.5 MWh by 16:00 hrs, pointing to surplus generation or must-run pressure. However, MCV and scheduled volume stayed at zero across all hours.
Real-time market (RTM) returns zero clearing across both reports
8Both RTM files (px15RTM, pxhrRTM) reported zero scheduled volume, zero MCV, and no MCPs for the entire 24-hour block. This reflects either complete non-submission or failed matching, raising questions on liquidity for 08 July.
Eastern and northern reports reveal dormant market footprint
8Reports from px15h, pxhg, and pxg15 show blank trading data across every block no purchase or sell bids, MCVs, or price discovery. Such extended silence indicates either technical disruption or extremely thin participation in those regions.
Evening ramp bids emerge in isolated blocks in some zones
8Zones like pxhg and pxg15 showed slight pick-up in buy-side bidding between 17:00–20:00 hrs, with 2.5–10 MWh entries, but no counter sell bids or matching occurred. This mismatch prevented any market clearing.
Hourly vs. 15-minute block data fails to trigger volume formation
8Both hourly and 15-min block structured reports failed to register actual trading. Notably, hourly files like px15h and pxhrRTM had zero weighted MCPs and scheduled volumes, highlighting ineffectiveness in real-time and intra-day settlements.
Absence of MCP values across all reports flags deeper market issue
8Every uploaded report whether IDAS or RTM shows missing MCPs for 08 July 2025. This blanket absence could stem from clearing failures, price cap issues, or procedural defaults in bid evaluation across regions.

IEX: Daily update

Jul 08: Day-ahead market sees late-morning price crash amid record solar overhang
8In the conventional DAM, clearing prices collapsed to as low as Rs. 1.75/kWh by noon as solar-heavy sell bids surged past 35 GW. The mismatch between rising sell-side liquidity and muted demand led to suppressed MCPs throughout late morning blocks.
Green DAM volumes rise, but MCPs drop sharply during solar peak
8The GDAM recorded high final scheduled volumes for solar blocks, but MCPs hovered near Rs. 3.00/kWh and dropped further below Rs. 2.00/kWh during key solar hours, reflecting oversupply despite strong bids.
Hydro-dedicated HP-DAM logs zero clearance across all 24 blocks
8Despite consistent hydro sell offers exceeding 5 GW in morning blocks, the HP-DAM market saw zero MCV or final scheduled volume on 08 July highlighting weak demand or incompatibility of offer prices.
RTM shows early morning firmness, but loses steam by sunrise
8Real-time market MCPs remained above Rs. 4.00/kWh till around 03:00 hrs, but slipped to Rs. 2.49–3.00/kWh during sunrise and post-peak intervals. Scheduled volumes remained high, indicating strong balancing activity.
Solar-heavy hourly GDAM clears more volume than non-solar forenoon blocks
8Hourly GDAM snapshots show solar FSV exceeding non-solar across multiple blocks, with solar MCPs often matching or exceeding hydro. High procurement at Rs. 4.00/kWh and above suggests strong RE compliance or RPO-linked demand.
Evening DAM blocks mark steep price recovery led by conventional demand
8After a slump through noon, DAM MCPs rebounded to Rs. 3.5–5.9/kWh during evening hours. Conventional demand recovery and tapering solar sell bids appear to have tightened MCVs, lifting prices.
RTM hourly data reveals consistent demand-side interest despite mid-day dips
8RTM block-level data confirms high MCVs throughout the day, with volumes rarely falling below 4.6 GW. Even as MCPs dipped post-sunrise, scheduled volumes remained robust, suggesting sustained intra-day flexibility demand.
HP-DAM remains buyer-starved despite near-universal hydro availability
8Both 15-min and hourly versions of HP-DAM failed to attract any purchase bids on 08 July 2025. Despite increasing sell offers from 1.9 GW to over 5.5 GW across the day, the product remained commercially inactive.

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Jul 07: OVER 100 BIDDERS QUALIFY IN RAJASTHAN DISCOM’S DEMAND-SIDE EFFICIENCY TENDER
8A large-scale DSM procurement by a northern DISCOM sees over 110 bidders technically qualified indicating exceptionally high participation levels for this category of demand-side projects. 
8The unusually high number of technically accepted bidders points toward either liberal eligibility conditions or post pre-bid amendments that eased entry barriers. 
8This pattern, combined with the absence of any disqualifications in the technical round, suggests a possible shift in strategy to attract a broader vendor base. It also strongly implies that the award structure may follow an item-wise or zonal distribution model rather than a single-package award. Compared to previous DSM tenders, this phase appears to prioritize wider outreach and faster deployment potentially in response to regulatory or financial year-end timelines. Details

PXIL daily prices: An update

Jul 07: Spot blackout continues across all short-term electricity markets
8Not a single megawatt-hour was scheduled across RTM, DAM, and IDAS formats on 07 July. Despite rising sell bids, especially in green and conventional IDAS segments, no transactions cleared.
RTM records zero activity throughout the day
8Real-Time Market (RTM) data for both 15-minute and hourly blocks show zero scheduled volume or market clearing prices for all time slots, indicating absolute absence of demand-side interest.
Day-ahead solar and hydro blocks fail to attract buyers again
8Reports from pxg15 and pxgh IDAS formats confirm a complete dry run, with all delivery blocks showing nil bids and scheduled volumes, despite the availability of sell-side capacity.
Green-heavy hourly IDAS shows high sell interest, but zero clearance
8The pxdh hourly report displayed massive sell bidsup to 745.75 MWh per block but no matching purchase volume emerged, leaving the scheduled volume at zero across all 24 blocks.
Conventional IDAS sees rising sell bids up to 193 MWh with no takers
8The pxd15 daily report showed sell offers increasing sharply during morning and afternoon blocks, peaking near 193.50 MWh, but still couldn’t clear any transaction due to lack of buyers.
Night-time green markets showed modest buyer entry, still zero dispatch
8Buy-side bids of 200 MWh appeared in evening blocks of pxdh (hourly green IDAS), but no scheduled energy was transacted, indicating persistent liquidity mismatch.
Even parity bids fail to clear in select late-hour blocks
8Several late-hour slots in pxd15 and pxdh formats had equal purchase and sell bids (e.g., 25 MWh each), yet failed to transact implying systemic absence of clearing volume logic.
DAM-linked green and hydro 15-min blocks show complete inactivity
8All pxg15, pxh15, and pxhh 15-min IDAS formats recorded blank trading books no bids, no volume, no price discovery continuing the slump observed in short-term green trading.

Daily round up: IEX

Jul 07: Renewables push GDAM clearing volumes but price dips highlight supply overhang
8Solar and hydro-heavy sell bids dominated early morning slots in the green market, yet clearing prices stayed below Rs. 4.80/kWh until 06:30. High sell-side liquidity kept MCPs from spiking despite strong solar purchase bids.
Evening RTM price spike aligns with post-peak ramp-up imbalance
8The real-time market saw MCPs rebound to Rs. 3.5/kWh by 06:00–07:00 block, echoing system ramping needs and limited flexible capacity. The sharp jump followed a low of Rs. 2.2/kWh earlier in the night.
Zero clearing continues in HP-DAM despite robust sell bids across 24 blocks
8The high-price day-ahead market for hydro once again recorded zero purchase interest, with 5,200+ MW on sell side remaining entirely unscheduled for all blocks. This marks another day of poor traction for the product.
DAM sees midday collapse in MCPs with bids falling to Rs. 1.2/kWh
8Between 09:15 and 10:00, the DAM experienced one of the steepest price drops, with MCPs crashing as low as Rs. 1.2/kWh amid aggressive solar and non-peak sell bidding. Final scheduled volumes, however, remained high.
Hydro’s role strengthens in green DAM but pricing stays moderate
8Hydro accounted for over 150 MW in several morning GDAM blocks, yet average MCPs hovered near Rs. 4.2–4.5/kWh, suggesting the market still treats hydro as a marginal balancer rather than price-setter.
RTM hourly volumes breach 9,000 MWh during solar ramp-down slots
8In the national hourly-resolution RTM, final scheduled volume peaked at 9,732 MWh between 10:00 and 10:15, pointing to system-wide balancing efforts during solar generation transitions.
Convergence visible between weighted MCPs across DAM and RTM by mid-day
8By 12:00, weighted prices in DAM and RTM hovered between Rs. 1.6–1.8/kWh, showing a strong midday alignment across markets due to heavy sell pressure and muted short-term demand.
Mismatch persists in HP-DAM: full-day sell offers, zero buyer interest
8Despite consistent sell interest topping 100,000 MWh across 24 hourly blocks, not a single unit cleared in the high-price hydro segment reinforcing questions about product design or buyer alignment.

DERC rejects steep PPAC hike, flags short-term sourcing and data gaps

Jul 07: Regulator blocks steep PPAC hike for Delhi’s municipal utility
8NDMC’s attempt to levy a 50.29% Power Purchase Cost Adjustment Charge (PPAC) on consumer bills for Q2 FY25 was rejected by DERC, citing consumer tariff impact and disproportionate use of short-term power purchases.
NDMC’s 8.75% PPAC recovery continues, but no further hike allowed
8The utility will be permitted to continue collecting a suo motu PPAC of 8.75% for Q2 FY25, but DERC refused any additional surcharge, flagging lack of justification on overall power procurement mix.
Over 80% short- and medium-term power flagged as cost-efficient
8DERC pointed out that NDMC sourced over 80% of its power this quarter from short and medium-term contracts cheaper than long-term PPAs undermining its case for a high PPAC claim.
Auditor’s delay hampers approval of PPAC surcharge
DERC criticized NDMC’s late submission of auditor-certified plant-wise cost data, which arrived only a day before the order, weakening the case for retrospective PPAC escalation.
8Commission warns on misuse of blended cost for PPAC claims
By using total power cost (short + long term) as the PPAC base, NDMC risked inflating tariffs without reflecting actual long-term cost trends prompting DERC to deny further increase.
Future adjustments possible through true-up with carrying cost
8While denying the extra PPAC now, DERC left the door open for recovery through the year-end true-up, provided NDMC proves its claim via detailed prudence checks.

PXIL: Daily review

Jul 04: Spot trade blackout persists: IDAS fails to transact any volume across all platforms
8For 04 July 2025, not a single megawatt-hour was scheduled in any of the IDAS market reports, including both 15-minute and hourly formats. Despite substantial sell bids, the lack of purchase interest resulted in zero Market Clearing Volumes or Prices across all time blocks
Rising sell bids hint at latent capacity, but demand remains absent
8Some segments like pxd15 and pxdh IDAS reports showed increasing sell bids up to 172.75 MWh per block by the 17th delivery hour. However, not a single MWh of purchase bids matched, indicating a clear demand deficit, possibly due to cheaper bilateral or day-ahead market alternatives
Price discovery failure across IDAS and RTM: zero MCPs reported
8No Market Clearing Price (MCP) or Weighted MCP was discovered on any exchange across 15-minute, hourly, or RTM reports. The complete absence of scheduled volumes made price signaling impossible, rendering July 4th a blank slate for short-term price analytics
RTM market mirrors IDAS inactivity with zero volumes and bids
8Both pxr15 and pxhRTM reports showed total inactivity no purchase bids, no sell bids, and no scheduled volumes for any hour block. This mirrored the IDAS market stagnation, extending the market-wide inertia into the real-time corridor
Selective injection of marginal purchase bids post 5 PM fails to revive trade
8In pxd15 and pxdh, purchase bids of 2.5–10 MWh appeared in evening blocks (17:00 to 20:00), hinting at late attempts to stimulate volume. However, these were far below the corresponding sell bids and failed to trigger any scheduling
Data uniformity, but no utility: multiple platforms show identical zero trade
8Despite parallel reporting across at least five IDAS and two RTM documents, the results were consistently null. This reinforces structural issues beyond data platform variation either policy, price expectations, or external transaction channels may have diverted volume flow.

Daily round up: IEX

Jul 04: Price volatility in market dynamics
8The 4th July market data reveals a significant range in Market Clearing Prices (MCP), fluctuating between Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 5,000 per MWh, indicating volatile trading conditions driven by differing energy sources and varying supply-demand balances.
Hydro power's strong contribution to market stability
8Hydro power continues to contribute substantially to the market’s volume, especially during periods of peak demand, helping stabilize price fluctuations seen during high-competition periods, such as from 04:00 AM to 06:00 AM.
Solar bidding dominance in early morning hours
8Early morning hours saw a dominant solar power bidding presence, with peak sell bids reaching as high as 5,000 MW. This trend heavily influenced price formation between Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 4,500 per MWh across multiple time slots.
 Increased sell bids and market stress
8An increase in sell bids across the day, particularly after 6 AM, led to a gradual rise in the MCP, peaking at Rs. 9,000 per MWh. This period reflects stress on the market with a significant imbalance between high bid volumes and available purchase capacities.
Heavy bidding on non-solar sources
8Non-solar sources contributed heavily to sell bids in the evening, with peaks at over 8,000 MW, often influencing the MCP to remain above Rs. 4,500 per MWh, suggesting a shift in energy sourcing preferences as the day progresses.
Maximal purchase and sell bids achieved in peak hours
8The market reached its maximum purchase and sell bids in the late evening (7 PM to 8 PM), where both purchase and sell bids hit above 16,000 MW. This correlates with the highest MCP of Rs. 10,000 per MWh during this period.
A 24-hour analysis of power market behavior
8The market behavior analysis across 24 hours on 04-07-2025 reveals a consistent shift towards higher prices as the day progresses, peaking with higher bids in both solar and non-solar categories during evening hours, reflecting robust demand.
Impact of solar and non-solar energy on price formation
8Solar and non-solar energy continue to be pivotal in shaping price formation, particularly in the daytime. Solar energy has a profound impact during the early morning hours, while non-solar energy drives up prices during the evening peak.

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Jul 03: KHAVDA RE PARK INFRA TENDER EXPANDS SCOPE BEYOND CONVENTIONAL SPPD NORMS
8The 4750 MW Khavda RE park tender significantly expands the EPC contractor’s scope beyond traditional SPPD norms by including permanent administrative buildings, gate complexes, integrated drainage systems, and full responsibility for utilities marking a shift toward full-site turnkey delivery and raising both execution complexity and bid preparation risk.
8Although tender drawings are declared indicative, the EPC contractor cannot modify layouts or facility placement even marginally without formal NTPC approval, tightening execution-phase controls.
8This major shift in scope is expected to impact Indian renewable projects, particularly for EPC contractors preparing for large-scale turnkey projects. The additional responsibilities for utilities and infrastructure could set new standards for Indian renewable projects' execution models. With utilities and drainage systems added to the scope, future Indian renewable projects may experience higher complexity in their bidding and execution processes. Indian renewable projects like the Khavda RE park signal a growing trend in turnkey deliveries for the sector, influencing future developments. Details

Jul 03: FROM SPOT BILLING TO SYSTEM OWNERSHIP: TWO STATES, TWO APPROACHES TO SMART METERING
8
SBPDCL outsources billing and collection, while MPPKVCL outsources infrastructure rollout itself. The differing approaches hint at varied regulatory and funding preferences.
8
The SBPDCL tender (NIT-53) is a service contract focused on field-level operations like spot billing, revenue collection, and limited prepaid meter support, where the DISCOM owns the infrastructure and pays the agency per task; in contrast, the MPPKVCL tender follows a DBFOOT model for a full AMI rollout, with the vendor financing, owning, and operating the system for a longer duration, transferring both financial and operational risks to the vendor, and using performance-based annuity payments rather than activity-based compensation

PRE-BID TIE-UP FLOATED FOR 765 KV SUBSTATION EXTENSION AT ANGUL AND SRIKAKULAM

SINGLE BIDDER WINS RS. 568 CRORE BULK TRANSFORMER PACKAGE FOR 400 KV GRID
8Only one vendor submitted a bid for a high-value 20-unit transformer supply under a centrally funded 400 kV transmission build. The L1 price crosses Rs. 568 crore, highlighting a rare single-player sweep in an otherwise competitive space.
8The package requires all units including 500 MVA and 315 MVA transformers to comply with both Zone-V seismic and coastal deployment norms. This significantly ups the engineering complexity and insulation design expectations.
 The awarded value of Rs. 5,686.7 million across 20 units implies a unit price exceeding Rs. 28 crore. This bulk rate would typically include enhanced bushings, advanced monitoring, and custom transport. All units must be certified for both highest seismic zone and coastal humidity/salinity.
8This is a prime example of Transformer Supply Contracts in India with stringent requirements for engineering design and certification. The high-value contract illustrates the competitive dynamics within Transformer Supply Contracts in India, especially in the context of large-scale transmission infrastructure projects. The demand for compliance with Zone-V seismic and coastal deployment norms further underscores the complexity of Transformer Supply Contracts in India, making it a key area for vendors targeting critical infrastructure projects. The inclusion of advanced monitoring and insulation for coastal conditions highlights the growing sophistication in Transformer Supply Contracts in India as market expectations evolve.

POWER TRANSFER BOOST FOR MMR: 765 KV DOUBLE CIRCUIT LINE IN FAST-TRACK MODE

Northern grid faces rising July stress: A comparative study

Jul 09: Summer forecasts signal worsening supply gap across Northern region
8Despite temporary improvement in May due to rainfall, the Northern Region now faces a 1,604 MU shortfall in July 2025. Delhi and Rajasthan remain surplus, but Punjab and Haryana show worrying deficits. States like Chandigarh and Himachal also post negative balances.
Punjab warned for dismantling Pathankot islanding without clearance
8The OCC has again raised serious concerns over Punjab SLDC’s unilateral dismantling of the Pathankot-RSD islanding scheme. Restoration timelines are still pending, and the NRPC warned against such unapproved actions that risk grid security.
Real-time market flagged as unreliable for shortfall management
8Despite widespread reliance on power exchanges to bridge demand gaps, NRPC reiterated that states must not depend on Real-Time or Day-Ahead Markets. Long-term tie-ups are necessary to maintain resource adequacy amid volatile grid conditions.
SPS proposed at 400 kV Panki to contain overloading risks
8To mitigate N-1 non-compliance at Panki substation, Uttar Pradesh State Load Despatch Centre proposed a System Protection Scheme that trips lower-priority feeders in sequence. The OCC found the logic sound but flagged the need for reviewing overcurrent protection thresholds.
Khurja STPP flags safety risks from ramp rate mismatch
8Khurja Supercritical plant raised operational stress concerns over ramping schedules set by Uttar Pradesh State Load Despatch Centre. Current block-level ramp targets are nearly double the sustainable threshold, risking turbine and boiler fatigue, prompting OCC to reassess feasibility norms.

Coal stock gaps widen across regions

Jul 09: Northern region sees moderate coal security, but UP flags early-stage risk
8Despite stable stock levels across most Haryana and Punjab plants, key stations in Uttar Pradesh like Anpara C and Barkhera are operating with only 9 days and 81 days of stock respectively. Barkhera’s unusually high stock appears as an anomaly in a region otherwise averaging around 30–45 days.
Western region faces extremes: Some plants dip to critical, others hoard surplus
8Chhattisgarh’s Akaltara and Adani Raigarh units reflect criticality with only 5–9 days of stock, while Uchpinda Thermal Power Plant has piled up over 93 days. Maharashtra too shows divergence Adani Tirora has just 1 day of coal left, flagged for IR issues, whereas Chandrapur and Bhusawal hold over 20 days’ supply.
Southern region presents sharp contrasts in coal logistics
8Andhra Pradesh's Rayalaseema and Damodaram units show critical stock levels with 5–6 days buffer, despite instructions to lift from MCL. Meanwhile, Karnataka’s Kudgi and Raichur units display healthy inventory buffers of 35 and 37 days respectively, underlining state-level disparity.
Coal import share negligible despite low stock alerts in key plants
8Even among plants with less than 10 days of coal, imports remain absent or negligible. Of 141 plants listed, less than a dozen show any imported coal presence indicating continued reliance on domestic linkage and logistical bottlenecks for international sourcing.
Eastern region battles mid-level risk, Jharkhand stays mostly stable
8Bihar and Odisha plants hover between 17–35 days of coal stock, with Kahalgaon and IB Valley barely above the 10-day mark. Jharkhand, while constrained on daily requirements, reports stable inventory at Bokaro, Tenughat, and Chandrapura units.
National average coal stock stable at 25 days, but 13 plants under 10-day threshold
8While the total coal stock across all CIL-linked plants stands at 52.7 million tonnes equating to a 25-day average multiple plants such as Pathadi (8 days), Damodaram (6 days), Adani Raipur (5 days), and Rayalaseema (5 days) remain on the brink of supercriticality under CEA norms.

Jul 08: TURNKEY SUBSTATION PROJECT UNDER RDSS DRAWS MULTIPLE BID EXTENSIONS
8A central DISCOM's infrastructure package for 33/11kV substations has seen four bid deadline extensions from 4 June to 8 July signaling deeper bidder queries and possible technical or eligibility clarifications.
8Delays in transformer installation or 33kV line commissioning now attract per-day penalties, a clear deviation from older tenders that only levied slab-based liquidated damages.
8The tender marks a policy tightening by imposing daily penalties on delays in transformer and 33 kV line commissioning, replacing earlier slab-based LDs. This shifts execution risk more squarely onto contractors and suggests rising urgency in RDSS project timelines.
8The tender reflects evolving norms in transmission equipment tenders in India, with stricter penalty structures indicating rising accountability expectations under RDSS. Such transmission equipment tenders in India are now more execution-oriented, especially in turnkey substation rollouts.
8This shift in transmission equipment tenders in India also reflects DISCOMs’ push for adherence to RDSS timelines. The move may shape bidding behavior across similar transmission equipment tenders in India going forward.

RURAL DISTRIBUTION UPGRADE TENDER SEES AWARD AT Rs. 80 CRORE

Contracting news for the day: Part-6

Jul 08: BID ELIGIBILITY TIGHTENED FOR HYDRO-MECHANICAL GATE EXPERIENCE IN 700 MW HYDRO PROJECT
8The owner has refused all requests to dilute the qualification requirement for vertical gate works. Bidders must prove experience with large-capacity fixed wheel gates using rope drum hoists, a clear barrier for less-proven players in hydropower projects in India.
8The technical bar has been set at a minimum 3000 m³ for gate capacity, eliminating proposals seeking marginal relaxation. Lower-capacity gate experience was not accepted underscoring strict prequalification norms across large hydropower projects in India.
8The 3000 m³ minimum gate capacity points to a potentially high-risk river diversion strategy. This sizing ensures full gate operability under peak Himalayan flows, reflecting the engineering rigor now being seen in critical hydropower projects in India.
8Since the experience clause applies even to JV/consortium members or subcontractors, only OEMs with vertical gate credentials will qualify. Civil contractors alone cannot leverage their credentials—tightening entry barriers in high-value hydropower projects in India.

DEVELOPER DEMANDS FULL ROPE DRUM HOIST CREDENTIALS FOR TUNNEL GATE PACKAGE
8Despite suggestions to allow hydraulic hoist systems, the owner insists that bidders must have commissioned rope drum hoists specifically—signaling a zero-compromise approach on operational reliability for tunnel diversion.
8The clarification asserts that fixed wheel type gates and rope drum hoists must both be part of the bidder’s executed portfolio—not either/or. This blocks firms with partial or alternate experience.
8By reiterating a strict 20-year execution record tied to specific hoist and gate configurations, the tender practically filters in only the most experienced EPC contractors or OEM-joint ventures.
8No substitution allowed: Only fixed wheel vertical gates with specified sizing and rope drum hoists in hydro/water resource settings will count. That closes the door on players offering only radial gate or hydraulic hoist credentials.

Tariff freeze and capex caution mark early years of SEZ power licensee: GERC

Jul 08: Truing up for FY 2023-24 reveals Rs. 18.11 crore gap
8TPL-Dholera’s operations in its formative year resulted in a sharp revenue shortfall of Rs. 18.11 crore, driven by high fixed costs on a nascent consumer base. The Commission has, however, deferred final truing up, citing lack of demand stabilization and partial network utilization.
ARR for FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30 pegged at Rs. 1,345 crore
8Projected Aggregate Revenue Requirement for the five-year MYT period indicates aggressive infrastructure rollout, with cumulative ARR touching Rs. 1,345 crore. Power purchase alone accounts for nearly Rs. 1,145 crore, reflecting growing supply-side commitments.
FY 2025-26 shows Rs. 22.22 crore revenue gap at existing tariff
8Even with Dahej SEZ tariffs and revised FPPPA of Rs. 2.83/unit, a revenue deficit of Rs. 22.22 crore is projected for FY 2025-26. TPL-Dholera seeks recovery via tariff alignment and defers the remainder to future truing-up.
Commission rejects new tariff proposal, extends Dahej SEZ rates
8Invoking inherent powers under Regulation 7, the Commission declined to approve fresh tariffs for FY 2025-26, citing underutilized network and uncertain load patterns. Existing Dahej SEZ tariff structure has been extended to Dholera SIR consumers until further notice.
Rs. 138 crore capex cleared for next 5 years, but with caution
8TPL-Dholera’s capital expenditure plan of Rs. 138.33 crore for FY 2025–30 was noted but not directly endorsed. The Commission flagged concerns over initial underutilization and cautioned that burdening a small consumer base with high fixed cost recovery may be premature.

CEA issues strict AWS norms for large RE projects to boost grid stability

Jul 08: CEA mandates real-time AWS for RE projects to boost grid predictability
8New guidelines from the central authority require Automatic Weather Stations at all RE sites above 50?MW, emphasizing granular meteorological monitoring to improve forecasting and dispatch planning.
Guidelines set strict fencing, mast, and earthing norms for AWS setup
8Detailed specifications around fencing height, mast structure, lightning arrestor, and earthing aim to ensure AWS installations are secure, stable, and weather-resilient.
Sensor and DAS specs upgraded to align with CERC and WMO standards
8Only thermopile-based pyranometers and ultrasonic wind sensors with IP65+ enclosures are allowed; DAS units must follow satellite-synced clocking and include quality control algorithms.
CEA enforces encrypted, unidirectional data protocols for AWS transmission
8The DAS must transmit encrypted data only to pre-authorized IPs, with cybersecurity rules requiring IDS firewalls, signature-based detection, and 180-day log retention.
SCADA integration allowed, but needs cyber risk approval and filtering firewalls
8Interfacing AWS with plant SCADA systems is permitted but only post risk assessment and with advanced cybersecurity like OT protocol inspection and geo-fenced access.
Power and enclosure systems tailored for remote, off-grid AWS uptime
8Guidelines require solar-charged MF battery packs with 20-day autonomy and IP66 FRP enclosures, designed to survive harsh field conditions without manual intervention.

PXIL: Daily review

Jul 08: IDAS markets show scattered activity amid broad non-participation
8Out of the nine uploaded regional IDAS/RTM reports, most show no recorded MCV, scheduled volumes, or MCPs indicating either data blackout, transmission issues, or market inactivity. Only two zones reflected active bidding behavior with visible patterns.
Southern region sees demand buildup but no transactions recorded
8In the southern IDAS file (px15d), while sell bids surged sharply post 6:00 hrs to a peak of 162 MWh in afternoon hours, no market clearing or scheduling took place. Purchase interest only sporadically appeared, mostly around evening ramps.
Western region bids rise from 100 MWh to over 600 MWh, but no clearing
8The pxdh report revealed aggressive sell bidding from early morning (100 MWh) to a high of 637.5 MWh by 16:00 hrs, pointing to surplus generation or must-run pressure. However, MCV and scheduled volume stayed at zero across all hours.
Real-time market (RTM) returns zero clearing across both reports
8Both RTM files (px15RTM, pxhrRTM) reported zero scheduled volume, zero MCV, and no MCPs for the entire 24-hour block. This reflects either complete non-submission or failed matching, raising questions on liquidity for 08 July.
Eastern and northern reports reveal dormant market footprint
8Reports from px15h, pxhg, and pxg15 show blank trading data across every block no purchase or sell bids, MCVs, or price discovery. Such extended silence indicates either technical disruption or extremely thin participation in those regions.
Evening ramp bids emerge in isolated blocks in some zones
8Zones like pxhg and pxg15 showed slight pick-up in buy-side bidding between 17:00–20:00 hrs, with 2.5–10 MWh entries, but no counter sell bids or matching occurred. This mismatch prevented any market clearing.
Hourly vs. 15-minute block data fails to trigger volume formation
8Both hourly and 15-min block structured reports failed to register actual trading. Notably, hourly files like px15h and pxhrRTM had zero weighted MCPs and scheduled volumes, highlighting ineffectiveness in real-time and intra-day settlements.
Absence of MCP values across all reports flags deeper market issue
8Every uploaded report whether IDAS or RTM shows missing MCPs for 08 July 2025. This blanket absence could stem from clearing failures, price cap issues, or procedural defaults in bid evaluation across regions.

IEX: Daily update

Jul 08: Day-ahead market sees late-morning price crash amid record solar overhang
8In the conventional DAM, clearing prices collapsed to as low as Rs. 1.75/kWh by noon as solar-heavy sell bids surged past 35 GW. The mismatch between rising sell-side liquidity and muted demand led to suppressed MCPs throughout late morning blocks.
Green DAM volumes rise, but MCPs drop sharply during solar peak
8The GDAM recorded high final scheduled volumes for solar blocks, but MCPs hovered near Rs. 3.00/kWh and dropped further below Rs. 2.00/kWh during key solar hours, reflecting oversupply despite strong bids.
Hydro-dedicated HP-DAM logs zero clearance across all 24 blocks
8Despite consistent hydro sell offers exceeding 5 GW in morning blocks, the HP-DAM market saw zero MCV or final scheduled volume on 08 July highlighting weak demand or incompatibility of offer prices.
RTM shows early morning firmness, but loses steam by sunrise
8Real-time market MCPs remained above Rs. 4.00/kWh till around 03:00 hrs, but slipped to Rs. 2.49–3.00/kWh during sunrise and post-peak intervals. Scheduled volumes remained high, indicating strong balancing activity.
Solar-heavy hourly GDAM clears more volume than non-solar forenoon blocks
8Hourly GDAM snapshots show solar FSV exceeding non-solar across multiple blocks, with solar MCPs often matching or exceeding hydro. High procurement at Rs. 4.00/kWh and above suggests strong RE compliance or RPO-linked demand.
Evening DAM blocks mark steep price recovery led by conventional demand
8After a slump through noon, DAM MCPs rebounded to Rs. 3.5–5.9/kWh during evening hours. Conventional demand recovery and tapering solar sell bids appear to have tightened MCVs, lifting prices.
RTM hourly data reveals consistent demand-side interest despite mid-day dips
8RTM block-level data confirms high MCVs throughout the day, with volumes rarely falling below 4.6 GW. Even as MCPs dipped post-sunrise, scheduled volumes remained robust, suggesting sustained intra-day flexibility demand.
HP-DAM remains buyer-starved despite near-universal hydro availability
8Both 15-min and hourly versions of HP-DAM failed to attract any purchase bids on 08 July 2025. Despite increasing sell offers from 1.9 GW to over 5.5 GW across the day, the product remained commercially inactive.

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Jul 07: OVER 100 BIDDERS QUALIFY IN RAJASTHAN DISCOM’S DEMAND-SIDE EFFICIENCY TENDER
8A large-scale DSM procurement by a northern DISCOM sees over 110 bidders technically qualified indicating exceptionally high participation levels for this category of demand-side projects. 
8The unusually high number of technically accepted bidders points toward either liberal eligibility conditions or post pre-bid amendments that eased entry barriers. 
8This pattern, combined with the absence of any disqualifications in the technical round, suggests a possible shift in strategy to attract a broader vendor base. It also strongly implies that the award structure may follow an item-wise or zonal distribution model rather than a single-package award. Compared to previous DSM tenders, this phase appears to prioritize wider outreach and faster deployment potentially in response to regulatory or financial year-end timelines. Details

PXIL daily prices: An update

Jul 07: Spot blackout continues across all short-term electricity markets
8Not a single megawatt-hour was scheduled across RTM, DAM, and IDAS formats on 07 July. Despite rising sell bids, especially in green and conventional IDAS segments, no transactions cleared.
RTM records zero activity throughout the day
8Real-Time Market (RTM) data for both 15-minute and hourly blocks show zero scheduled volume or market clearing prices for all time slots, indicating absolute absence of demand-side interest.
Day-ahead solar and hydro blocks fail to attract buyers again
8Reports from pxg15 and pxgh IDAS formats confirm a complete dry run, with all delivery blocks showing nil bids and scheduled volumes, despite the availability of sell-side capacity.
Green-heavy hourly IDAS shows high sell interest, but zero clearance
8The pxdh hourly report displayed massive sell bidsup to 745.75 MWh per block but no matching purchase volume emerged, leaving the scheduled volume at zero across all 24 blocks.
Conventional IDAS sees rising sell bids up to 193 MWh with no takers
8The pxd15 daily report showed sell offers increasing sharply during morning and afternoon blocks, peaking near 193.50 MWh, but still couldn’t clear any transaction due to lack of buyers.
Night-time green markets showed modest buyer entry, still zero dispatch
8Buy-side bids of 200 MWh appeared in evening blocks of pxdh (hourly green IDAS), but no scheduled energy was transacted, indicating persistent liquidity mismatch.
Even parity bids fail to clear in select late-hour blocks
8Several late-hour slots in pxd15 and pxdh formats had equal purchase and sell bids (e.g., 25 MWh each), yet failed to transact implying systemic absence of clearing volume logic.
DAM-linked green and hydro 15-min blocks show complete inactivity
8All pxg15, pxh15, and pxhh 15-min IDAS formats recorded blank trading books no bids, no volume, no price discovery continuing the slump observed in short-term green trading.

Daily round up: IEX

Jul 07: Renewables push GDAM clearing volumes but price dips highlight supply overhang
8Solar and hydro-heavy sell bids dominated early morning slots in the green market, yet clearing prices stayed below Rs. 4.80/kWh until 06:30. High sell-side liquidity kept MCPs from spiking despite strong solar purchase bids.
Evening RTM price spike aligns with post-peak ramp-up imbalance
8The real-time market saw MCPs rebound to Rs. 3.5/kWh by 06:00–07:00 block, echoing system ramping needs and limited flexible capacity. The sharp jump followed a low of Rs. 2.2/kWh earlier in the night.
Zero clearing continues in HP-DAM despite robust sell bids across 24 blocks
8The high-price day-ahead market for hydro once again recorded zero purchase interest, with 5,200+ MW on sell side remaining entirely unscheduled for all blocks. This marks another day of poor traction for the product.
DAM sees midday collapse in MCPs with bids falling to Rs. 1.2/kWh
8Between 09:15 and 10:00, the DAM experienced one of the steepest price drops, with MCPs crashing as low as Rs. 1.2/kWh amid aggressive solar and non-peak sell bidding. Final scheduled volumes, however, remained high.
Hydro’s role strengthens in green DAM but pricing stays moderate
8Hydro accounted for over 150 MW in several morning GDAM blocks, yet average MCPs hovered near Rs. 4.2–4.5/kWh, suggesting the market still treats hydro as a marginal balancer rather than price-setter.
RTM hourly volumes breach 9,000 MWh during solar ramp-down slots
8In the national hourly-resolution RTM, final scheduled volume peaked at 9,732 MWh between 10:00 and 10:15, pointing to system-wide balancing efforts during solar generation transitions.
Convergence visible between weighted MCPs across DAM and RTM by mid-day
8By 12:00, weighted prices in DAM and RTM hovered between Rs. 1.6–1.8/kWh, showing a strong midday alignment across markets due to heavy sell pressure and muted short-term demand.
Mismatch persists in HP-DAM: full-day sell offers, zero buyer interest
8Despite consistent sell interest topping 100,000 MWh across 24 hourly blocks, not a single unit cleared in the high-price hydro segment reinforcing questions about product design or buyer alignment.

DERC rejects steep PPAC hike, flags short-term sourcing and data gaps

Jul 07: Regulator blocks steep PPAC hike for Delhi’s municipal utility
8NDMC’s attempt to levy a 50.29% Power Purchase Cost Adjustment Charge (PPAC) on consumer bills for Q2 FY25 was rejected by DERC, citing consumer tariff impact and disproportionate use of short-term power purchases.
NDMC’s 8.75% PPAC recovery continues, but no further hike allowed
8The utility will be permitted to continue collecting a suo motu PPAC of 8.75% for Q2 FY25, but DERC refused any additional surcharge, flagging lack of justification on overall power procurement mix.
Over 80% short- and medium-term power flagged as cost-efficient
8DERC pointed out that NDMC sourced over 80% of its power this quarter from short and medium-term contracts cheaper than long-term PPAs undermining its case for a high PPAC claim.
Auditor’s delay hampers approval of PPAC surcharge
DERC criticized NDMC’s late submission of auditor-certified plant-wise cost data, which arrived only a day before the order, weakening the case for retrospective PPAC escalation.
8Commission warns on misuse of blended cost for PPAC claims
By using total power cost (short + long term) as the PPAC base, NDMC risked inflating tariffs without reflecting actual long-term cost trends prompting DERC to deny further increase.
Future adjustments possible through true-up with carrying cost
8While denying the extra PPAC now, DERC left the door open for recovery through the year-end true-up, provided NDMC proves its claim via detailed prudence checks.

PXIL: Daily review

Jul 04: Spot trade blackout persists: IDAS fails to transact any volume across all platforms
8For 04 July 2025, not a single megawatt-hour was scheduled in any of the IDAS market reports, including both 15-minute and hourly formats. Despite substantial sell bids, the lack of purchase interest resulted in zero Market Clearing Volumes or Prices across all time blocks
Rising sell bids hint at latent capacity, but demand remains absent
8Some segments like pxd15 and pxdh IDAS reports showed increasing sell bids up to 172.75 MWh per block by the 17th delivery hour. However, not a single MWh of purchase bids matched, indicating a clear demand deficit, possibly due to cheaper bilateral or day-ahead market alternatives
Price discovery failure across IDAS and RTM: zero MCPs reported
8No Market Clearing Price (MCP) or Weighted MCP was discovered on any exchange across 15-minute, hourly, or RTM reports. The complete absence of scheduled volumes made price signaling impossible, rendering July 4th a blank slate for short-term price analytics
RTM market mirrors IDAS inactivity with zero volumes and bids
8Both pxr15 and pxhRTM reports showed total inactivity no purchase bids, no sell bids, and no scheduled volumes for any hour block. This mirrored the IDAS market stagnation, extending the market-wide inertia into the real-time corridor
Selective injection of marginal purchase bids post 5 PM fails to revive trade
8In pxd15 and pxdh, purchase bids of 2.5–10 MWh appeared in evening blocks (17:00 to 20:00), hinting at late attempts to stimulate volume. However, these were far below the corresponding sell bids and failed to trigger any scheduling
Data uniformity, but no utility: multiple platforms show identical zero trade
8Despite parallel reporting across at least five IDAS and two RTM documents, the results were consistently null. This reinforces structural issues beyond data platform variation either policy, price expectations, or external transaction channels may have diverted volume flow.

Daily round up: IEX

Jul 04: Price volatility in market dynamics
8The 4th July market data reveals a significant range in Market Clearing Prices (MCP), fluctuating between Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 5,000 per MWh, indicating volatile trading conditions driven by differing energy sources and varying supply-demand balances.
Hydro power's strong contribution to market stability
8Hydro power continues to contribute substantially to the market’s volume, especially during periods of peak demand, helping stabilize price fluctuations seen during high-competition periods, such as from 04:00 AM to 06:00 AM.
Solar bidding dominance in early morning hours
8Early morning hours saw a dominant solar power bidding presence, with peak sell bids reaching as high as 5,000 MW. This trend heavily influenced price formation between Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 4,500 per MWh across multiple time slots.
 Increased sell bids and market stress
8An increase in sell bids across the day, particularly after 6 AM, led to a gradual rise in the MCP, peaking at Rs. 9,000 per MWh. This period reflects stress on the market with a significant imbalance between high bid volumes and available purchase capacities.
Heavy bidding on non-solar sources
8Non-solar sources contributed heavily to sell bids in the evening, with peaks at over 8,000 MW, often influencing the MCP to remain above Rs. 4,500 per MWh, suggesting a shift in energy sourcing preferences as the day progresses.
Maximal purchase and sell bids achieved in peak hours
8The market reached its maximum purchase and sell bids in the late evening (7 PM to 8 PM), where both purchase and sell bids hit above 16,000 MW. This correlates with the highest MCP of Rs. 10,000 per MWh during this period.
A 24-hour analysis of power market behavior
8The market behavior analysis across 24 hours on 04-07-2025 reveals a consistent shift towards higher prices as the day progresses, peaking with higher bids in both solar and non-solar categories during evening hours, reflecting robust demand.
Impact of solar and non-solar energy on price formation
8Solar and non-solar energy continue to be pivotal in shaping price formation, particularly in the daytime. Solar energy has a profound impact during the early morning hours, while non-solar energy drives up prices during the evening peak.

Contracting news for the day: Part-1

Jul 03: KHAVDA RE PARK INFRA TENDER EXPANDS SCOPE BEYOND CONVENTIONAL SPPD NORMS
8The 4750 MW Khavda RE park tender significantly expands the EPC contractor’s scope beyond traditional SPPD norms by including permanent administrative buildings, gate complexes, integrated drainage systems, and full responsibility for utilities marking a shift toward full-site turnkey delivery and raising both execution complexity and bid preparation risk.
8Although tender drawings are declared indicative, the EPC contractor cannot modify layouts or facility placement even marginally without formal NTPC approval, tightening execution-phase controls.
8This major shift in scope is expected to impact Indian renewable projects, particularly for EPC contractors preparing for large-scale turnkey projects. The additional responsibilities for utilities and infrastructure could set new standards for Indian renewable projects' execution models. With utilities and drainage systems added to the scope, future Indian renewable projects may experience higher complexity in their bidding and execution processes. Indian renewable projects like the Khavda RE park signal a growing trend in turnkey deliveries for the sector, influencing future developments. Details

 The awarded value of Rs. 5,686.7 million across 20 units implies a unit price exceeding Rs. 28 crore. This bulk rate would typically include enhanced bushings, advanced monitoring, and custom transport. All units must be certified for both highest seismic zone and coastal humidity/salinity.
8This is a prime example of Transformer Supply Contracts in India with stringent requirements for engineering design and certification. The high-value contract illustrates the competitive dynamics within Transformer Supply Contracts in India, especially in the context of large-scale transmission infrastructure projects. The demand for compliance with Zone-V seismic and coastal deployment norms further underscores the complexity of Transformer Supply Contracts in India, making it a key area for vendors targeting critical infrastructure projects. The inclusion of advanced monitoring and insulation for coastal conditions highlights the growing sophistication in Transformer Supply Contracts in India as market expectations evolve.
