More than 55,000 MW was outside the online fleet in CEA’s monitored snapshot - while generation still reached 98.2% of programme. India has certified 78 green-steel units and advanced specialty-steel incentives - but neither measure yet proves how much cleaner steel is being produced. BCCL put a new 2.0 MTPA washery into operation and monetised another - but profit collapsed nearly 90% as production and offtake weakened.

Premier Energies lifted profit 53% and opened 5.6 GW of module capacity - but the new factory must convert nameplate scale into sustained sales and margin. Hitachi Energy’s orders and revenue surged - while Rs. 1,841.66 crore of QIP money still sat unused. Amazon’s proposed Mumbai data-centre campus would demand 473 MW and install hundreds of backup generators - but it still lacks final environmental clearance. CESC’s 3 GW solar-cell plan won environmental clearance only for Phase I - leaving the second phase and construction approvals outside the gate. A Vemagiri bus fault cut about 1,150 MW of Andhra Pradesh load in 14 minutes - after overloaded transformers at another station also tripped. Gujarat’s renewable evacuation network suffered repeated single-path failures, including 800 MW and 540 MW losses - making redundancy the month’s unresolved risk. Two simultaneous line trips cut about 130 MW across six Assam load centres - after another 220 kV route was already shut. A Champa–Kurukshetra HVDC failure cut about 2,680 MW of transfer and triggered Punjab’s defence scheme - but Punjab’s recorded demand drop was about 252 MW. Thirty coal plants were critical even with 37 million tonnes on hand - because the fleet held only 60% of its normative stock. Contracting news for the day. Briefs - Signals to Watch.

Contracting news for the day
Aug 13:
8NPCIL's riser insulation package lists one set against four pipe sizes and 24 riser positions The bidder must fund detailed engineering, mock-ups, radiation qualification, five installation trials and site training before any payment falls due. ATC clause 13.0 ties 100% payment to final acceptance and completion of training, on a firm price held over 364 days. The GeM summary marks arbitration "No" while ATC clause 24.0 sets a three-arbitrator tribunal.
8NTPC Mining asks developers for indicative tariffs while holding the land lease rate back to the RFP The 50 MWp splits evenly across two mines, but one sits on an overburden dump and the other carries mandatory levelling plus a developer-scope 33 kV line on a shorter schedule. Penalties, payment security, deemed generation and curtailment treatment are all still open to market input. A later limited tender may be confined to those who respond now.
8WAPCOS's Rs 1 crore mandate says no pre-bid meeting will be held; GeM scheduled one with a Teams link The GeM field records 10:00 against a description reading 10:30-12:30, validity reads 90 days in one document and 120 in the other, and MSE relaxation is "No" in one and 50% in the other. Basic turnover eligibility starts at Rs 50 lakh while scored turnover starts at Rs 50 crore. Arbitration is expressly waived even though the 1996 Act appears in the same document's regulatory framework.
8AEGCL's Rs 6.72 lakh Narengi consultancy buys PLS CADD tower spotting and states no completion period Two lump-sum items cover bay feasibility and full route survey with profile drawings, with forest proposal and tree enumeration expressly carved out. Corridor width, accuracy tolerances, route alternatives and permitted iterations are undefined. The whole cycle from launch to close runs eight days.
8Tata Power's one-year final-checking agreement for a 765 kV line gives bidders 10 days and no quantities Tower counts, line length, inspection formats, acceptance authority, manpower and reporting protocol are all absent from the notice. So are EMD, PBG, payment cycle, LD and liability caps. For a year-long framework, minimum workload and call-off frequency are the terms that matter, and neither is stated.
8TGTRANSCO's Rs 60.71 crore package keeps negative escalation running after positive escalation stops Delay attributable to the contractor removes upward price protection while leaving downward adjustment enforceable, on top of milestone and post-completion penalties. Section 1.2 deems unlisted but necessary components into bidder supply, closing the variation route. A bid 20% below estimate draws additional security of 10% of the estimated cost by the document's own worked example.
8KPTCL's Rs 108.02 crore Ayyanahalli package deleted its 25% consortium floor after a pre-bid nobody attended The line qualification can now sit entirely with one partner, with a three-year electrical-works test replacing it for the other. The proceedings record nil bidder representatives; the queries that produced the change arrived by email. Underlying kilometre thresholds are unchanged.
8APGENCO reserves the right to amend its metering cubicle tender after its own submission window shuts Bids close at 14:00, technical opening is 15:00, and modifications are permitted up to 15:00. Validity reads 180 days in the NIT and 120 in the attached general conditions, while the covering enquiry gives a third set of times. Manufacturer-site QA inspection is marked "Not Required", moving conformity onto supplier certificates.
8NHPC's Sawalkot Lot-1 added Rs 287.91 crore, deleted a qualification route and moved its deadline eleven times The estimate reset from Rs 5,129.03 crore to Rs 5,416.94 crore carried turnover, working capital and bid capacity up with it, while the quantity-based dam alternative disappeared, leaving only an 80 m concrete dam. Project capacity was corrected from 1856 MW to 1800 MW without explanation. No reason is recorded against any of the 161 days of extensions.
8MPPGCL's 30 MWac solar tender moved its query-response date three times, ending seven days before bids close Responses now land after the deadline they were originally meant to precede, leaving one week to absorb them across engineering, vendor quotes, generation modelling and O&M pricing. Evaluation runs on Rs/kWh combining capex, discounted five-year O&M and accepted NEEGG. Omitted-but-necessary equipment is deemed included and prices stay firm.
8NHPC's Kamala amendment moved HM qualification into execution, then needed an errata to fix the clause it cited The same corrigendum cut muck disposal from four zones to two, removing both sites nearest the dam and leaving two shared 50/50 with the adjacent lot. Adverse climate moved from employer risk "Nil" to EOT, and earthquake gained express compensation. Grid power is tentative at two years out, with captive generation and compulsory later uptake both on the contractor.
8THDC's Kalai-II package moved 216 days and rewrote shotcrete from "no extra payment" to Rs 180 per kg Eight extensions ran alongside two substantive amendments and a notice refusing further queries — followed by another date revision. The 31.5-month clock now starts after a 30-day mobilisation period rather than on the seventh day from LOA. The road tunnel is carved out of the milestone-damage waiver every other milestone enjoys.
8AEGCL's Sonapur extension notice pushes bids to 2026 and schedules the opening for 2023 The same package records an NIT date in the pre-bid minutes that post-dates both the NIT and portal publication. A pre-bid meeting materialised where the portal fields read "NA", drawing nine firms. Prices stay fixed for 24 months and the request for conductor and cable escalation was refused.
8MPMKVVCL narrowed its type-test waiver to one rating and readmitted a disqualified bidder after opening The concession originally covered a new bidder lacking reports for any rating; it now covers only the 10 MVA unit. EMD is Rs 1 lakh against post-award security of 1% plus 9% on a 66-month instrument. A bidder rejected as a medium enterprise returned on the MSME notification preserving previous-category benefits for three years.
8NHPC's Salal award is 8.7% below estimate, or 1.5% above it, depending which estimate applies The benchmark rose 11.1% late in the cycle, taking experience, turnover, working capital and bid capacity up with it after an earlier corrigendum had widened technical eligibility. One of three bidders failed qualification, leaving a two-bid contest 3.4% apart. The NIT provides for reverse auction; the comparative statement shows only two values.
8WBSEDCL cut its retesting charge 90% and drew 188 bids in which L2 sits 44.0% above L1 EMD fell 30.0% and 16.7% across categories at pre-bid, while the charge per repeat inspection went from Rs 50,000 to Rs 5,000. Of 188 bids, 148 cleared technically, many only partially by capacity or transformer type. A bidder removed from the restricted-opening table after a corrigendum resurfaced in the price ranking at L22. Details

Contracting news for the day
Aug 12:
8KSEB's Rs 65.87 lakh 110 kV upgrade deleted its 5 km experience threshold and took a bid 9.91% below estimate Terms and conditions XVIII required 110 kV work "for at least 5km length of line completed in last 7years"; corrigendum-3 removed the length and applied the change to all clauses stating experience. Three bidders were admitted — L1 Rs 59,34,453.02, L2 16.4% above, L3 26.5% above and rejected on rate. Special condition 18 sets defects liability at 60 months while clauses 1.9, 1.18 and the payment language repeat 36.
8SECI's 45.6 MW Ramagiri wind package issued Corrigendum-1 nine minutes after queries closed and four hours before the pre-bid meeting Queries shut at 10:00 RTZ on 27 July, the corrigendum is timestamped 10:09, the pre-bid meeting sat at 14:30, and the amendment wording appears nowhere in the record. EMD is Rs 8.4368 crore for domestic and international bidders alike, against a Rs 25,000 processing fee. The tendering pattern reads "Single Stage Two Envelope followed by e-ReverseAuction" while the portal's evaluation-mechanism field reads "Not Applicable". PBG, bid validity, LD and maintenance duration sit outside the notice.
8RECPDCL's ERES-47 765 kV corridor turns a Rs 55.32 crore bid bond into a Rs 138.30 crore guarantee within ten days of LoI A 150% step-up lands on the winner the moment tariff competition ends. Qualification runs Rs 2,766 crore aggregate capex at Rs 553.20 crore per project and Rs 1,106.40 crore net worth. Clause 2.5.7 puts site, geology, transport and grid diligence on the bidder with no relief after deadline, while BSPTCL's Nawada–Guraru works and space at Jeerat stay outside TSP control. Assets, land, ROW and clearances transfer at zero cost 35 years after COD.
8RECPDCL's Solapur/Paranda GIS RFP moved its bid date 34 days and left the rest of Clause 2.7.2 behind Submission goes from 7 July to 10 August, stranding technical opening, qualification, initial offers, reverse auction, LoI and SPV transfer at their original July–August dates. CPG is Rs 30 crore, net worth Rs 250 crore, aggregate capex Rs 600 crore at Rs 120 crore per project. Three LILOs on HPC conductor and a Quad Moose link to Pune West carry a fallback obliging the TSP to buy adjacent land if utility space runs short. LD is 3.33% of monthly charges per day for 60 days then 5%, against a 24-month COD and 98% availability.
8OPTCL's Palaspanga–Barbil package states its estimate as Rs 3.15 crore in the narrative and Rs 315.27 crore in Table-A The smaller figure is exactly one-hundredth of the portal value and identical to the EMD. Table-A items 12–16 run a day behind the portal, while the IFB puts soft copies at 11 August, hard copies at 11 August 11:01 and EMD at 10 August 11:00. Lot-I and Lot-II are labelled separately but "shall be treated as a single contract" — two GIS upgrades plus 1.2 Rkm cable and 69.2 Rkm of 220 kV line. Both inside 24 months from LoA, with e-reverse auction reserved under ITB clause 29.
8NSPCL's Durgapur coal-mill R&M restored 24 mandatory pump assemblies eight days before closing, having cut them to three Amendment No. 2 made the reduction; Amendment No. 4, issued 10 August against an 18 August deadline, restored the original BOQ figure. Amendment No. 3 fixed instrumentation at one instrument for OLCS and two for CLCS and protection. Errata No. 01 corrected the tender ID to 2026_NSPCL_273894_1. The deadline moved 102 days across sixteen corrigenda while the technical baseline was still changing, with eight pulverisers to be replaced inside existing space without disturbing boiler performance.
8PSPCL's Ferozepur RDSS package went to the bidder that was 6.9% dearer before the auction and the only one that quoted in it The BOQ chart had SKS at Rs 84.95 crore against Nucon at Rs 90.84 crore; in the auction Nucon quoted Rs 84.87 crore and SKS was "Not Quoted". Final evaluation records Nucon Rs 83.80 crore at rank 1 and SKS Rs 84.95 crore at rank 2 — 1.4% apart, 31.0% and 32.8% above the Rs 63.97 crore published value. Corrigendum no. 3 reframes the tender from four packages to three and package 5 disappears unexplained. Financial opening was November 2024, final evaluation August 2026.
8RECPDCL's Barmer-II HVDC tender set a Rs 5,728 crore net-worth floor and five bidders cleared it Adani Energy Solutions, DRAIPL-CG Consortium, POWERGRID, Resonia and Terralight qualified; four are sole bidders, the fifth splits 26/74 between DRAIPL and Cube Grid Investments Pte. Ltd. The bid bond is Rs 286.40 crore and the CPG Rs 716 crore, due within ten days of LoI alongside full SPV acquisition. Scope covers two 6,000 MW ±800 kV LCC terminals, roughly 900 km of bipole and two synchronous condensers. Bipole-1 targets 48 months and Bipole-2 54, but the RFP requires simultaneous commissioning.
8BSUL's Rs 379.25 crore Jalaun evacuation package states EMD as Rs 3.80 crore in the NIT and Rs 38 lakh on the portal The tender ID shifts the same way, 913540_1 in the scanned NIT and Corrigendum-1 against 913570_1 across the CPPP record, clarification, Corrigendum-4 and opening report. Corrigendum-1 widened ITB 2.2.1 from "Sub-Station and/or Transmission line works" to "Sub-Station or any other electrical works" while holding the Rs 303.40/189.62/151.70 crore thresholds and the two 220 kV-plus bay test. SCC 3 keeps LD at 0.5% of total contract price per week where partial facilities cannot be beneficially used; SCC 3.1 and 4.0 read "Deleted" with substantive O&M text beneath, and the trial run reads "72 (Seventy-two) 24 (Twenty Four) hours continuously". Ten bidders were admitted on 10 August with the PGCIL Orai bay extension inside the contractor's scope.
8BHEL lets Talabira bidders borrow the ash-handling credentials they lack, then bills the prime bidder if a partner walks Vacuum conveying can substitute for pressure conveying where detailed engineering is vetted by an IIT or qualifying firm; missing water-impounded bottom-ash-hopper experience can be bridged by a design agency plus a performance-support undertaking; civil and structural gaps go to consortium partners. Clause 23.10 keeps the prime bidder accountable throughout. Clause 23.12 permits encashment of a departing partner's security, mandates replacement, and otherwise recovers the cost difference plus a 5% overhead factor. Clause 23.15 adds 1% consortium security, with reverse auction under clause 19.0 after technical qualification. Details

Contracting news for the day
Aug 11:
8Mahagenco's Rs 93.55 crore Koradi pipe tender asks a manufacturer for 100% turnover and a contractor for 30% Annexure A sets average annual turnover equal to the entire Rs 63.37 crore supply estimate; Annexure B sets its test at 30% of Rs 30.18 crore, or Rs 9.054 crore. The two rounded annexure values total Rs 93.55 crore against the NIT's Rs 93.552027 crore. Annexure B says the bidder or a consortium member should qualify both the works and supply conditions, while later provisions require only one member to meet the works QR — leaving unstated whether credentials can be split between two partners. Holding-company support runs five years from the last month of bidding or to the end of the defect-liability period.
8BHEL's Jharsuguda ash-handling EPC excludes civil and structural works, then makes the contractor responsible for them anyway TCC clause 3.14 keeps any additional item required for package completeness — mechanical, electrical, C&I, civil and structural — inside bidder scope unless specifically excluded. NIT clause 35.0 issues one LOA and then splits billing into supply, installation and five-year O&M, reserves BHEL's right to redistribute that split later, and makes a breach under one order a breach under the others. O&M starts at 5% of contract price and escalates 3% a year, aggregating roughly 26.5% over five years. Auxiliary power is capped at 3,173 kW with LD of Rs 14 lakh per additional kW. Bid issue to submission: eleven days.
8DVC's Rs 90.20 crore Chandrapura diversion names three different conductors for one package The high-level scope cites AAAC Panther 37/3.15 mm and AAAC Dog 19/2.89 mm; the detailed supply section calls for AAAC Zebra 61/3.31 mm plus underground cable, and the tender text does not map either set to a particular line. Corrigendum-I moved download, submission and opening each by seven days and states all other terms remain unaltered. Bid validity is 180 days while bid security must run 225. Price variation under SCC clause 8 stops rising past scheduled dates unless preserved in an extension letter; downward movement still accrues to the owner.
8OPGC's Rs 21.83 lakh protection audit carries two turnover thresholds, two experience windows and a handwritten voltage GeM shows minimum average annual turnover of Rs 7 lakh; the committee-approved QR clause 2.2.1 sets Rs 6.55 lakh. GeM states five years of past experience while QR clause 2.1.1 admits similar works completed in the preceding seven. The 40%/50%/80% ladder should read Rs 8.732, 10.915 and 17.464 lakh; the QR prints Rs 8.73, 10.90 and 17.50 lakh — 40.0%, 49.9% and 80.2%. The QR scan carries a handwritten "220KV" beside the printed 400 kV similar-work description. Payment is set at 30 days, expressly superseding the 10 days in GeM GTC clause 12.
8OPTCL's Rs 147.97 crore Balasore cable tender can't agree with itself on how many stages it has The IFB describes a "single stage two part system"; the portal field reads "Stage: Two Stages". Document availability differs the same way — the notice runs 06.06.2026 to 06.07.2026, the portal 11-06-2026 to 08-07-2026, with closing at 14:00 and techno-commercial opening at 15:00 on 8 July. The notice rounds the estimate to Rs 147.97 crore while the portal records Rs 1,47,97,02,728 and fixes EMD at Rs 1,47,97,027. No corrigendum in the package reconciles either. Cost-opening date is to be defined later.
8NTPC's Ramagundam transformer tender gives three different answers on price escalation The technical specification applies IEEMA escalation to the transformer price alone and keeps freight, insurance, spares, tests and erection firm; BDS marks price-adjustment data "Not Applicable"; Appendix-2 sets out a wider adjustment framework across equipment, erection, structural and civil components without a ceiling. The contract runs 30 months. BDS clause 13 confines installation pricing to 10–15% of the supply portion and retains amounts quoted outside that band without interest rather than rejecting the bid. BDS clause 31 carves 5% of the service portion out against quarterly safety certification. The NIT calls it single-stage two-envelope; the portal operates three covers.
8JPDCL's Rs 538.15 lakh "DPR" is a 33 kV line build, and its extension left bid opening six days before bid closing The SBD reduces scope to "As per BOQ", and the BOQ carries 420 11-metre poles, 40 13-metre poles, 42,000 kg of channel iron, 72 km of ACSR, 920 stay sets and 15 lattice-structure jobs. Extension Notice-1 moved the last date for bidding from 10 August to 17 August "due to low response" but left technical opening at 11 August and hard-copy EMD submission at 10 August. The performance-security clause is numbered 2 yet directs bidders to "clause 3.2", and the unbalanced-bid provision refers back to "clause 3.1". Clause 20.2 places jurisdiction by reference to Ramban in a Udhampur-Chenani package.
8HPSEBL's Rs 3.72 crore distribution-reform consultancy is gated on transmission turnover, then run through both QCBS and a reverse auction Eligibility requires Rs 70 crore average annual turnover in power-transmission consultancy at 66 kV and above for an assignment framed under a distribution-sector scheme; joint ventures are barred. ITC 25.1 sets 70:30 QCBS while the NIT adds an e-reverse auction with a 0.5% decrement, and no provision states how the auction price enters the financial score. The NIT and portal require Rs 7.44 lakh EMD; the RFP requires a bid-securing declaration in lieu of it. Validity is 180 days on the portal and 120 in Data Sheet ITC 12.1; one ITC provision bars subcontracting while ITC 12.8 permits it. Three corrigenda, 31 days, no substantive change.
8MPPMCL's 625 MW storage tender still shows its opening event six days before the bids come in The header applies 10 August for receipt of bids while the NIT table retains 4 August as the tender opening event and 30 July for document procurement. Corrigendum-1 issued 24 July and the record separately notes "Addendum #2 Issued", neither reproduced at NIT level. Bid security is Rs 2.20 lakh/MW rather than a flat sum, alongside a Rs 15 lakh processing fee plus GST and a Rs 30,000 ETS charge. Chemistry, cycle life, degradation, augmentation, availability and PBG terms sit outside the notice.
8NSPCL's Durgapur mill tender cut mandatory spare pump assemblies from 24 to three, then put them back to 24 Amendment no. 2 made the reduction; Amendment no. 4 restored the original figure, stating "As per the Original BOQ". The same amendment chain rewrote completion LD from a flat Rs 6,89,750 per day to 0.5% per week on the contract price attributable to uncommissioned mills, capped at 5%; deleted unburnt-carbon loss as a sizing criterion; disallowed YGP correction of wear life; and cut the wear-life demonstration population from three pulverisers to two. The shutdown-extension LD provision still reads "INR xxxxxx". Eleven closing-date revisions moved the deadline 102 days from 8 May to 18 August.
8NTPC's Rihand generator-transformer tender marks price adjustment applicable and the price-adjustment appendix "NOT APPLICABLE" BDS identifies Attachment 8P as applicable; Appendix-2 is headed "PRICE ADJUSTMENT (NOT APPLICABLE)" and then sets out uncapped escalation formulas for equipment, erection and other components. BDS item 13.0 states "Civil work Price Component: Not Applicable" and immediately requires that component to fall between 70% and 75% of the supply portion, against a BOQ built around supply, erection, freight, spares and tests. Installation pricing outside the 10–15% band draws interest-free retention. Contract period 36 months; LD 0.5% weekly capped at 5%.
8DVVNL's Rs 79.32 crore AB cable tender shows 5% performance security on the portal and 10% in the terms that override it GeM prescribes a 5% ePBG for 48 months; the ATC declares itself overriding and sets a 10% contract performance guarantee, with clause 36 rendering it as "Ten Percent (10%) plus GST@18% of the total Contract price". Guarantee duration is written three ways — 90 days after contract completion, 180 days after warranty expiry, and again 90 days beyond successful warranty completion. Corrigenda C5 and C6 carry identical substantive terms and differ only in identifier, yet C6 states it supersedes all existing buyer-added conditions. The portal permits splitting among 30 bidders while the ATC requires each bidder to offer at least 25% of quantity; the award went five ways at one rate, Rs 474.10 per metre.
8KSEB's transformer tender has two probable contract amounts, Rs 10.46 crore apart, and L1 and L2 separated by Rs 2.67 lakh The notice and portal record a PAC of Rs 72.16 crore; the 3 August pre-qualification minutes cite Rs 61.70 crore, with no reconciliation. Against the first figure L1 at Rs 84.65 crore is 17.3% high; against the second, 37.2%. L2 stood at Rs 84.68 crore — a 0.03% spread — while L5 came in 31.6% above L1. Clause 18.7.4 had specified a finishing coat as both "dark admiral gray conforming to No. 632" and "No. 541 (Light Brown)" until the corrigendum removed the second. Three of the five qualified bidders were admitted on undertakings to produce compliant type-test reports before supply.
8PSPCL's Faridkot RDSS package records an auction price of Rs 111.60 crore and an award value of Rs 111.71 crore The difference, about Rs 11.17 lakh, is almost exactly the single 0.1% decrement that produced the auction result; the comparative BOQ summary and award-facing record remain at the pre-auction figure. Only two bidders reached financial evaluation and only one entered a revised figure, the other recorded "Not Quoted". L1 finished 24.8% above the Rs 89.46 crore estimate, L2 42.0% above. SCC fixes performance security at 3% while the advance-payment condition refers to 10% of contract price, and the payment clause reads "sixty-five (60) days". Individual BOQ items may move ±50%.
8PFCCL's Fatehgarh-II synchronous condenser tender opened bids 76 days after the date the RFP set Clause 2.7.1 fixed 17 April 2026; the qualification notice records actual opening on 2 July and qualified bidders declared on 10 July. Exactly four bidders qualified against a rule advancing the higher of the top 50% of ranked initial offers or four — so the shortlist and the auction field are the same set. Qualification tests infrastructure capex of Rs 1,140 crore aggregate and Rs 456 crore net worth, not synchronous-condenser operating history, while performance is measured at the PCC with total losses below 2%, 97% availability and 1,200 MVA short-circuit contribution. Assets transfer at zero cost 35 years after COD.
8RECPDCL amended its Rs 55.32 crore-bond ERES-47 bid deadline the day before it fell due, and left COD where it was Amendment-IV, dated 10.08.2026, moved submission from 11 to 18 August, qualified-bidder announcement to 27 August, initial-offer opening to 31 August, the reverse auction to 1 September and SPV transfer from 10 to 21 September — an 11-day shift at the far end. Scheduled COD stays 31.03.2029, so the post-award runway shortens by the same amount. Technical qualification requires Rs 2,766 crore aggregate capex with Rs 553.20 crore per project and Rs 1,106.40 crore net worth. Execution depends on BSPTCL's matching Nawada–Guraru works and space at Jeerat from another entity.
8A 400 kV GIS switching-station RFP has now moved its bid date 48 days without touching a 24-month COD Amendment-III shifts submission from 10 to 24 August, 14 days, against an original RFP date of 7 July; qualification announcement, initial-offer opening and reverse auction all move to 1, 2 and 3 September, and document signing to 21 September. Initial offers and the auction remain one day apart. The bid bond is Rs 12 crore and the performance guarantee Rs 30 crore, with net worth of Rs 250 crore and Rs 600 crore aggregate capex required. LILO conductor, OPGW and earth wire must match existing-line parameters, and bay-extension work may add roads, drainage, trenches and levelling identified only at site inspection. The amendment states the revised timetable and no reason for it. Details
8BHEL's Jharsuguda ash-handling EPC excludes civil and structural works, then makes the contractor responsible for them anyway TCC clause 3.14 keeps any additional item required for package completeness — mechanical, electrical, C&I, civil and structural — inside bidder scope unless specifically excluded. NIT clause 35.0 issues one LOA and then splits billing into supply, installation and five-year O&M, reserves BHEL's right to redistribute that split later, and makes a breach under one order a breach under the others. O&M starts at 5% of contract price and escalates 3% a year, aggregating roughly 26.5% over five years. Auxiliary power is capped at 3,173 kW with LD of Rs 14 lakh per additional kW. Bid issue to submission: eleven days.
8DVC's Rs 90.20 crore Chandrapura diversion names three different conductors for one package The high-level scope cites AAAC Panther 37/3.15 mm and AAAC Dog 19/2.89 mm; the detailed supply section calls for AAAC Zebra 61/3.31 mm plus underground cable, and the tender text does not map either set to a particular line.

The QR scan carries a handwritten "220KV" beside the printed 400 kV similar-work description. Payment is set at 30 days, expressly superseding the 10 days in GeM GTC clause 12.

The same amendment chain rewrote completion LD from a flat Rs 6,89,750 per day to 0.5% per week on the contract price attributable to uncommissioned mills, capped at 5%; deleted unburnt-carbon loss as a sizing criterion; disallowed YGP correction of wear life; and cut the wear-life demonstration population from three pulverisers to two. The shutdown-extension LD provision still reads "INR xxxxxx". Eleven closing-date revisions moved the deadline 102 days from 8 May to 18 August.
8NTPC's Rihand generator-transformer tender marks price adjustment applicable and the price-adjustment appendix "NOT APPLICABLE" BDS identifies Attachment 8P as applicable; Appendix-2 is headed "PRICE ADJUSTMENT (NOT APPLICABLE)" and then sets out uncapped escalation formulas for equipment, erection and other components. BDS item 13.0 states "Civil work Price Component: Not Applicable" and immediately requires that component to fall between 70% and 75% of the supply portion, against a BOQ built around supply, erection, freight, spares and tests. Installation pricing outside the 10–15% band draws interest-free retention. Contract period 36 months; LD 0.5% weekly capped at 5%.
8DVVNL's Rs 79.32 crore AB cable tender shows 5% performance security on the portal and 10% in the terms that override it GeM prescribes a 5% ePBG for 48 months; the ATC declares itself overriding and sets a 10% contract performance guarantee, with clause 36 rendering it as "Ten Percent (10%) plus GST@18% of the total Contract price". Guarantee duration is written three ways — 90 days after contract completion, 180 days after warranty expiry, and again 90 days beyond successful warranty completion. Corrigenda C5 and C6 carry identical substantive terms and differ only in identifier, yet C6 states it supersedes all existing buyer-added conditions. The portal permits splitting among 30 bidders while the ATC requires each bidder to offer at least 25% of quantity; the award went five ways at one rate, Rs 474.10 per metre.
8KSEB's transformer tender has two probable contract amounts, Rs 10.46 crore apart, and L1 and L2 separated by Rs 2.67 lakh The notice and portal record a PAC of Rs 72.16 crore; the 3 August pre-qualification minutes cite Rs 61.70 crore, with no reconciliation. Against the first figure L1 at Rs 84.65 crore is 17.3% high; against the second, 37.2%. L2 stood at Rs 84.68 crore — a 0.03% spread — while L5 came in 31.6% above L1. Clause 18.7.4 had specified a finishing coat as both "dark admiral gray conforming to No. 632" and "No. 541 (Light Brown)" until the corrigendum removed the second. Three of the five qualified bidders were admitted on undertakings to produce compliant type-test reports before supply.
8PSPCL's Faridkot RDSS package records an auction price of Rs 111.60 crore and an award value of Rs 111.71 crore The difference, about Rs 11.17 lakh, is almost exactly the single 0.1% decrement that produced the auction result; the comparative BOQ summary and award-facing record remain at the pre-auction figure. Only two bidders reached financial evaluation and only one entered a revised figure, the other recorded "Not Quoted". L1 finished 24.8% above the Rs 89.46 crore estimate, L2 42.0% above. SCC fixes performance security at 3% while the advance-payment condition refers to 10% of contract price, and the payment clause reads "sixty-five (60) days". Individual BOQ items may move ±50%.
8PFCCL's Fatehgarh-II synchronous condenser tender opened bids 76 days after the date the RFP set Clause 2.7.1 fixed 17 April 2026; the qualification notice records actual opening on 2 July and qualified bidders declared on 10 July. Exactly four bidders qualified against a rule advancing the higher of the top 50% of ranked initial offers or four — so the shortlist and the auction field are the same set. Qualification tests infrastructure capex of Rs 1,140 crore aggregate and Rs 456 crore net worth, not synchronous-condenser operating history, while performance is measured at the PCC with total losses below 2%, 97% availability and 1,200 MVA short-circuit contribution. Assets transfer at zero cost 35 years after COD.
8RECPDCL amended its Rs 55.32 crore-bond ERES-47 bid deadline the day before it fell due, and left COD where it was Amendment-IV, dated 10.08.2026, moved submission from 11 to 18 August, qualified-bidder announcement to 27 August, initial-offer opening to 31 August, the reverse auction to 1 September and SPV transfer from 10 to 21 September — an 11-day shift at the far end. Scheduled COD stays 31.03.2029, so the post-award runway shortens by the same amount. Technical qualification requires Rs 2,766 crore aggregate capex with Rs 553.20 crore per project and Rs 1,106.40 crore net worth. Execution depends on BSPTCL's matching Nawada–Guraru works and space at Jeerat from another entity.
8A 400 kV GIS switching-station RFP has now moved its bid date 48 days without touching a 24-month COD Amendment-III shifts submission from 10 to 24 August, 14 days, against an original RFP date of 7 July; qualification announcement, initial-offer opening and reverse auction all move to 1, 2 and 3 September, and document signing to 21 September. Initial offers and the auction remain one day apart. The bid bond is Rs 12 crore and the performance guarantee Rs 30 crore, with net worth of Rs 250 crore and Rs 600 crore aggregate capex required. LILO conductor, OPGW and earth wire must match existing-line parameters, and bay-extension work may add roads, drainage, trenches and levelling identified only at site inspection. The amendment states the revised timetable and no reason for it. Details

More than 55,000 MW was outside the online fleet in CEA’s monitored snapshot - while generation still reached 98.2% of programme
Aug 10:
8CEA counted 55,674 MW unavailable across planned, forced and other outage categories while monitored stations still produced 98.2% of programme. The near-target output shows that the remaining fleet carried the day, but the outage burden narrowed the buffer against another large failure.

India has certified 78 green-steel units and advanced specialty-steel incentives - but neither measure yet proves how much cleaner steel is being produced
Aug 10:
8India has certified 78 green-steel units and advanced production-linked incentives for specialty steel, creating formal routes for cleaner and higher-value output. The policy architecture is moving, but the disclosed record still does not quantify how much certified low-emission steel has actually been produced or sold.

BCCL put a new 2.0 MTPA washery into operation and monetised another - but profit collapsed nearly 90% as production and offtake weakened
Aug 10:
8BCCL started commercial operation of the 2.0 MTPA Bhojudih washery and monetised the 2.0 MTPA Dugda washery through a long-term operating agreement. Those projects could lift domestic washed-coking-coal supply, but profit after tax fell from Rs. 1,240.19 crore to Rs. 128.28 crore as production, offtake and costs moved against the company.
Details
Coal India spent Rs. 19,607 crore and added 100 MW of solar - but coal output fell to 768.19 million tonnes, 168.81 million tonnes below its own target
Aug 10:
8Coal India spent Rs. 19,607 crore and commissioned the 100 MW Patan solar project while expanding into critical minerals and a proposed 1,600 MW thermal venture. The diversification advanced, but coal production slipped to 768.19 million tonnes and missed the company’s 937 million-tonne target by 168.81 million tonnes.

PFC’s loan book reached Rs. 5.80 lakh crore and net NPAs fell to 0.15% - but annual sanctions dropped Rs. 75,094 crore as fresh commitments slowed
Aug 10:
8PFC ended 2025–26 with Rs. 5.80 lakh crore of loan assets, Rs. 20,051 crore of standalone profit and a net NPA ratio of 0.15%. Asset quality strengthened, but sanctions fell to Rs. 2.86 lakh crore from Rs. 3.61 lakh crore, making the pace and quality of new commitments the next growth test.
Details
Inox Wind’s order book reached about 4.4 GW - but quarterly profit fell 34% as its shift toward equipment sales held income growth to 1%
Aug 10:
8Inox Wind reported an order book of about 4.4 GW in July, including a 500 MW firm group order and a 200 MW NLC award. The pipeline is large, but first-quarter profit fell 34% and management’s equipment-sales pivot has yet to show the promised improvement in later quarters.
Details
Premier Energies lifted profit 53% and opened 5.6 GW of module capacity - but the new factory must convert nameplate scale into sustained sales and margin
Aug 10:
8Premier Energies raised quarterly profit by 53% and opened 5.6 GW of module capacity, expanding the manufacturing base behind its order pipeline. The new factory changes the company’s scale immediately, but earnings quality depends on utilisation, cell supply, pricing and sustained conversion of capacity into sales.
Details
Hitachi Energy’s orders and revenue surged - while Rs. 1,841.66 crore of QIP money still sat unused
Aug 10:
8Hitachi Energy India reported sharp growth in orders and revenue while retaining Rs. 1,841.66 crore of QIP proceeds as unutilised at quarter end. The balance sheet can fund expansion, but the investment case now depends on converting record demand and idle capital into delivered capacity, cash and margins.

Amazon’s proposed Mumbai data-centre campus would demand 473 MW and install hundreds of backup generators - but it still lacks final environmental clearance
Aug 10:
8Amazon Data Services’ proposed Mumbai campus would require 473 MW of power and a large diesel-backup fleet across a multi-building development. The scale makes it a major new load, but the committee recommendation is not final clearance, grid sanction or proof of a contracted cleaner supply.

CESC’s 3 GW solar-cell plan won environmental clearance only for Phase I - leaving the second phase and construction approvals outside the gate

8CESC Green Power’s 3 GW solar-cell proposal has environmental clearance for its first phase at Jewar, not for the entire factory. The approval moves a major manufacturing investment forward, but Phase II, construction permissions and operating execution still sit outside the cleared gate.

A Vemagiri bus fault cut about 1,150 MW of Andhra Pradesh load in 14 minutes - after overloaded transformers at another station also tripped
Aug 10:
8A Vemagiri bus fault removed about 1,150 MW of Andhra Pradesh demand for 14 minutes while overloaded transformers at another station also tripped. Supply returned quickly, but the scale of the loss shows how a local fault and stressed parallel equipment can combine into a statewide reliability event.

Gujarat’s renewable evacuation network suffered repeated single-path failures, including 800 MW and 540 MW losses - making redundancy the month’s unresolved risk
Aug 10:
8Gujarat’s renewable network recorded repeated single-path events, including losses of about 800 MW and 540 MW, across the month’s grid-event register. Individual protection operations may have worked, but the recurrence shows that several generation pockets still depended on evacuation arrangements that did not survive one credible failure.

Two simultaneous line trips cut about 130 MW across six Assam load centres - after another 220 kV route was already shut
Aug 10:
8During an approved shutdown of the BTPS–Rangia-I line, all six affected load centres were being supplied through the Sonabil–Depota and Sonabil–Ghoramari paths. Both lines tripped at 15:04, cutting about 130 MW until the network was restored, and turning a planned outage into a direct redundancy failure.

A Champa–Kurukshetra HVDC failure cut about 2,680 MW of transfer and triggered Punjab’s defence scheme - but Punjab’s recorded demand drop was about 252 MW
Aug 10:
8A measuring-card failure blocked two poles carrying about 2,680 MW and triggered Punjab’s feeder defence scheme, while the state’s recorded demand changed by about 252 MW. Protection limited the disturbance, but the gap between transfer loss and demand response shows why the event cannot be described as 2,680 MW of consumer load shedding.

Thirty coal plants were critical even with 37 million tonnes on hand - because the fleet held only 60% of its normative stock
Aug 10:
8Thirty plants were at critical stock even though total coal holdings reached 37 million tonnes, because the monitored fleet held only 60% of its normative requirement. The national pile therefore concealed plant-level exposure where location and delivery, not aggregate tonnes, determined security.

Contracting news for the day
Aug 10:
8Arunachal's Pathar Camp award carries two prices for the same bid, 19.0% apart Financial-opening proceedings record Techno Power at Rs 98.75 crore and Shyam Steel at Rs 119.57 crore; the BOQ comparative chart records Rs 82.98 crore and Rs 100.48 crore — the same 19.0% gap for both bidders. The award settles on the lower BOQ figure. Three of five bidders never reached price opening, falling on unsigned pages, missing OEM authorisations and EHV-licence gaps, leaving a 21.1% spread between the only two survivors. The portal and committee proceedings also cite two different NIT numbers for one tender ID.
8AVVNL's 110 MW rooftop tender now allocates a multi-lot winner's cheapest circle first, not its biggest Corrigendum No. 2 replaces descending lot quantity with ascending quoted price per unit as the allocation sequence — so a bidder that is L1 across several circles can have its highest-priced win displaced once the 20,000-consumer cap is reached. Turnover is tested at 30% of the total value quoted, making a five-lot bid a balance-sheet decision. Nineteen of the 25 technically admitted bids arrived only after the original deadline.
8Ukwa mine tender sets quantity variation at ±20% in one document and 25% in another The technical specification says "+/- 20%"; the GeM option clause permits 25% at issue and a further 25% post-award — a five-point gap across a four-year contract committing nine LHDs, 36 face drills and nine shotcrete machines. The GeM summary also reads "Arbitration Clause: No" while clause 48 sets out a sole-arbitrator regime with Nagpur jurisdiction. Corrigendum C5 declares itself to supersede all prior buyer-added terms.
8PVVNL's conductor tender qualified one bidder "as trial" while simultaneously coding it rejected The evaluation record shows "Rejected-Technical" alongside the remark "Techno Commercially qualified as trial" for the same participant — a status distinct from the seven bidders marked qualified as regular. What trial standing entitles that bidder to, whether its price bid opens, and how trial converts to regular are nowhere defined. Seven of nine reached the 6 August price opening on regular terms.
8JdVVNL's 110 MW rooftop tender makes MNRE guidelines override its own specification Clarification No. 1 states that where the tender's material specification conflicts with MNRE requirements, MNRE prevails — a compliance baseline that can move during a ten-year O&M term. The same package flips lot allocation from quantity-first to lowest-unit-price-first, swaps meter standard IS 14697 for IS 13779, and holds half the 10% performance security to year five and the balance to year ten.
8JVVNL's 18-lot rooftop tender lets a bidder's own price ladder decide which circles it loses Corrigendum No. 1 allocates successful lots in ascending order of quoted unit price, with a lottery in the Chief Engineer's chamber where price and lot quantity tie. Turnover is now tested against the lots actually quoted rather than the full Rs 627.50 crore estimate. The e-procurement record and the specification also carried different original technical-opening times — 3:00 pm against 5:00 pm — before the seven-day extension overrode both.
8NTPC's Rs 200 crore Kaniha ash contract ended with five identical contracts at 10.58% of base value All five awardees hold contracts of Rs 21.156 crore — a 0.0% spread across L1, L2 and L3 — because ranked bidders were invited to match the L1 price. The panel includes L1 through L4 and, unexplained, L9; L5 to L8 do not appear. Clause C's formula for calculating each bidder's cumulative cap against a five-member panel doesn't reconcile with the identical full-value contracts actually issued. Corrigendum C2 fixed a penalty clause that cross-referenced a nonexistent "Clause 16."
8UPNEDA's 40,000-light tender can extinguish a quarterly AMC payment if district verification doesn't happen in time The amended Clause 8.18 requires live RMS data to be verified by the district project officer each quarter and uploaded to RESIMS; failure causes that quarter's payment to lapse with no later claim — against a 15% retention released at 3% a year over five years. Corrigendum-1 separately disabled equalisation charging, which the original spec had mandated every 30±2 days on an LFP battery. Sixteen of 22 bidders cleared technical evaluation.
8BHEL's Bandhabal ASU tender doubled the power baseline used to load bids, from 400 kW to 800 kW The same amendment nets turbine-generated electricity against consumption before applying NPV loading over a 25-year life — so integration, not gross demand, decides evaluated L1. Qualification was cut in the opposite direction: the reference threshold fell from 1,000 TPD oxygen to 500 TPD, the window widened from 10 to 15 years, and required operating history halved to one year. Five closing-date extensions. A bidder's warning that simultaneous LOX and LIN vaporisation would breach the 10 TPH steam cap drew a request for figures, not a ruling.
8NHPC raised the generator performance coefficients on its Rs 641.11 crore Uri-I tender by 20.6% Both the bid-equalisation rate and the shortfall deduction moved from Rs 21.642 lakh to Rs 26.099 lakh and Rs 86.565 lakh to Rs 104.396 lakh — turbine figures rose 5.0%. Corrigendum No. 4 also replaced the cooling-water and HVAC chapters outright, rebased escalation indices from 2011-12 to 2022-23, added partial acceptance, and introduced a contractor-change route that pays nothing for rejected proposals. Deadlines have moved 32 days.
8JVVNL's 25,000-transformer tender withdrew the bid-security relaxation its own registered vendors previously enjoyed Appendix-A removes the Nigam-registration concession and resets performance security at 5%, with additional security where a bid falls more than 15% under estimate. L1 gets only 20% of the volume under the allocation ladder; 50% can go to firms outside the top four. Prior execution acts as a gate — a supplier under 50% delivered on an earlier order may find its bid unopened. Schedule-X prints a June 1 submission deadline for a tender published in August and closing 1 September.
8GETCO's Rs 94.87 crore HTLS tender pays more to bidders who refuse its advance Amended Clause 86.0 splits payment by financing choice: 90% progressive supply payment without the advance, less with it, and 80% versus 70% on erection RA bills — the advance carrying SBI MCLR interest against a 110% BG. Conductor losses are capitalised at Rs 1,60,000 per kW before reverse bidding starts, so the lowest percentage isn't automatically L1. RoW compensation moved to GETCO; RoW fieldwork stayed with the contractor. Security validity is written as "25 Months (60 Months + 01 Month)."
8CSPDCL's Atal Nagar batch bars Class III contractors from its Rs 1.37 lakh package while admitting them to the Rs 1.76 lakh one Only the 33KV isolator replacement at Mungi substation carries the tighter classification — the gate is voltage and operational risk, not value. All five packages share one deadline, one completion figure recorded simply as "30" with no unit stated, and a stated opening time identical to the closing time.
8TANTRANSCO's Rs 271.79 crore GEC-II substation limits escalation to transformers and reactors, and only on 90% of their cost Everything else — civil works, erection, freight, insurance, switchgear installation — stays firm across 24 months that expressly include rainy seasons, with the transformer adjustment itself capped at ±30%. Delay damages start softer than usual at 0.10% weekly, but can be calculated on the entire contract price where partial works can't be beneficially used. Unresolved level-3 ESHS non-conformity cuts interim certificates 33.3%, then 66.6%, then 100%. Guarantee obligations appear as 36 months in the payment documents, 60 months in the technical requirements and five years for ICTs in the Particular Conditions.
8APEPDCL called a hybrid pre-bid meeting for its Rs 143.32 crore SCADA tender one day before queries close Corrigendum-1 fixes the meeting for 18 August; the RFP keeps 19 August at 17:00 as the query cut-off, leaving roughly a working day to convert answers into formal clarifications on OEM responsibilities, field interfaces and FMS economics. The portal describes the meeting as offline while the corrigendum provides hybrid attendance. The BOQ separately requires five-year FMS charges to be at least 20% of SCADA project cost, with the annual figure identical across all five years.
8UPPTCL's conductor tender demands 10% performance security in the SBD and 5% on GeM — and says the SBD wins ITB 41.2 requires a CPBG of 10% of contract price including GST; the GeM page shows a 5% ePBG for 30 months, while BDS ITB 30 expressly gives the SBD precedence over GeM. The turnover threshold diverges the same way: Rs 224.82 crore in the BDS against Rs 56.20 crore on the portal. Positive IEEMA variation stops once supply runs past schedule even with an extension granted; negative variation continues.
8TPCODL halved its own GCC delay penalty on a Rs 44 crore substation conversion, then extended the liability tail to a decade Tender clause 7.1.7 sets LD at 0.5% weekly on unfinished work capped at 5%; the GCC position is 1% weekly on executed value capped at 10%. In exchange, the CPBG stays alive across a 78-month architecture and a five-year latent-defect warranty starts only after the 60-month guarantee ends. Clause 2.2 states there is no guarantee on quantity of job, with release orders issued only after substation-wise joint survey. Turnover requirement: Rs 100 crore against a Rs 44 crore estimate.
8OPTCL's Rs 102.39 crore Narendrapur cable tender can't agree with itself on how many stages it has The IFB describes a "single stage two part system"; the portal field reads "Stage: Two Stages" — a distinction that changes submission and evaluation mechanics for a bidder committing Rs 1.02 crore of EMD. The document-availability window also differs: the IFB closes it 6 July, the portal 8 July at 12:00, with tender closing at 14:00 the same day. The package bundles 132 kV underground cable with bay extensions at two live substations.
8JVVNL's 37-substation RDSS tender states nine months for completion in one part and 12 in another Part 1 gives one month for survey plus eight for execution; SCC GCC 8.1 and 8.2 give three months for commencement inside a 12-month total — and the contract hierarchy puts Part 3 above Part 1. The second 30% supply payment is conditioned on commissioning "a minimum one cluster," defined by electrification of rural households, inside a package that procures 33/11 kV substations. The technical specification also refers to supervision at substations "in state of Uttar Pradesh."
8RVPN's Dholpur line tender lists a bid amount of Rs 1.00 against a Rs 94.48 crore turnover requirement The portal field is economically meaningless beside a Rs 31.49 crore liquidity threshold and a 50 km single-order 400 kV execution test. Subsidiary, associate and subcontractor credentials don't count, and JV bidding is marked not applicable. OPGW installation runs predominantly live-line, with tower structural analysis and any resulting strengthening at no additional cost to the employer, plus a 99.9% availability target requiring a seven-person certified gang, a jeep and a Tata 407.
8NTPC REL extended its 540 MW Anantapur wind tender a day after the original deadline had passed Corrigendum-2 carries a 5 August timestamp; the original bid receipt closed 4 August, and the applicable deadline now reads 17 August. A WTG manufacturer may use only one qualifying route and, under the association route, back only one bidder — multiple participation can void all affected bids. Land acquisition, ROW, the external EHV line to the ISTS substation and ten years of comprehensive O&M all sit inside contractor scope. A 540 MW quote requires Rs 714.04 crore of average annual turnover.
8MPPMCL's 625 MW storage tender now closes six days after the opening date printed in its own schedule The portal header applies 10 August for bid receipt while the NIT table still shows the tender opening event on 4 August and document procurement closing 30 July — an 11-day extension layered over legacy dates never rewritten. Corrigendum-1 and Addendum #2 have both issued. Bid security runs Rs 2.20 lakh/MW across a BOO structure with VGF support and a reverse auction at the end.
8SJVN's 265 MW Haryana storage tender shows an addendum issued and no corrigenda at the same time Addendum #1 is flagged on the tender page while the portal separately records "No Corrigenda Issued," and the clauses it supplements aren't identified anywhere at NIT level. EMD scales with capacity at Rs 2.40 lakh per MWh rather than sitting as a fixed sum, and the Rs 15 lakh processing fee plus GST applies to each project. Degradation, augmentation, availability guarantees and PBG terms all sit outside the published notice. Details
8AVVNL's 110 MW rooftop tender now allocates a multi-lot winner's cheapest circle first, not its biggest Corrigendum No. 2 replaces descending lot quantity with ascending quoted price per unit as the allocation sequence — so a bidder that is L1 across several circles can have its highest-priced win displaced once the 20,000-consumer cap is reached.

Contracting news for the day
Aug 13:
8NPCIL's riser insulation package lists one set against four pipe sizes and 24 riser positions The bidder must fund detailed engineering, mock-ups, radiation qualification, five installation trials and site training before any payment falls due. ATC clause 13.0 ties 100% payment to final acceptance and completion of training, on a firm price held over 364 days. The GeM summary marks arbitration "No" while ATC clause 24.0 sets a three-arbitrator tribunal.
8NTPC Mining asks developers for indicative tariffs while holding the land lease rate back to the RFP The 50 MWp splits evenly across two mines, but one sits on an overburden dump and the other carries mandatory levelling plus a developer-scope 33 kV line on a shorter schedule. Penalties, payment security, deemed generation and curtailment treatment are all still open to market input. A later limited tender may be confined to those who respond now.
8WAPCOS's Rs 1 crore mandate says no pre-bid meeting will be held; GeM scheduled one with a Teams link The GeM field records 10:00 against a description reading 10:30-12:30, validity reads 90 days in one document and 120 in the other, and MSE relaxation is "No" in one and 50% in the other. Basic turnover eligibility starts at Rs 50 lakh while scored turnover starts at Rs 50 crore. Arbitration is expressly waived even though the 1996 Act appears in the same document's regulatory framework.
8AEGCL's Rs 6.72 lakh Narengi consultancy buys PLS CADD tower spotting and states no completion period Two lump-sum items cover bay feasibility and full route survey with profile drawings, with forest proposal and tree enumeration expressly carved out. Corridor width, accuracy tolerances, route alternatives and permitted iterations are undefined. The whole cycle from launch to close runs eight days.
8Tata Power's one-year final-checking agreement for a 765 kV line gives bidders 10 days and no quantities Tower counts, line length, inspection formats, acceptance authority, manpower and reporting protocol are all absent from the notice. So are EMD, PBG, payment cycle, LD and liability caps. For a year-long framework, minimum workload and call-off frequency are the terms that matter, and neither is stated.
8TGTRANSCO's Rs 60.71 crore package keeps negative escalation running after positive escalation stops Delay attributable to the contractor removes upward price protection while leaving downward adjustment enforceable, on top of milestone and post-completion penalties. Section 1.2 deems unlisted but necessary components into bidder supply, closing the variation route. A bid 20% below estimate draws additional security of 10% of the estimated cost by the document's own worked example.
8KPTCL's Rs 108.02 crore Ayyanahalli package deleted its 25% consortium floor after a pre-bid nobody attended The line qualification can now sit entirely with one partner, with a three-year electrical-works test replacing it for the other. The proceedings record nil bidder representatives; the queries that produced the change arrived by email. Underlying kilometre thresholds are unchanged.
8APGENCO reserves the right to amend its metering cubicle tender after its own submission window shuts Bids close at 14:00, technical opening is 15:00, and modifications are permitted up to 15:00. Validity reads 180 days in the NIT and 120 in the attached general conditions, while the covering enquiry gives a third set of times. Manufacturer-site QA inspection is marked "Not Required", moving conformity onto supplier certificates.
8NHPC's Sawalkot Lot-1 added Rs 287.91 crore, deleted a qualification route and moved its deadline eleven times The estimate reset from Rs 5,129.03 crore to Rs 5,416.94 crore carried turnover, working capital and bid capacity up with it, while the quantity-based dam alternative disappeared, leaving only an 80 m concrete dam. Project capacity was corrected from 1856 MW to 1800 MW without explanation. No reason is recorded against any of the 161 days of extensions.
8MPPGCL's 30 MWac solar tender moved its query-response date three times, ending seven days before bids close Responses now land after the deadline they were originally meant to precede, leaving one week to absorb them across engineering, vendor quotes, generation modelling and O&M pricing. Evaluation runs on Rs/kWh combining capex, discounted five-year O&M and accepted NEEGG. Omitted-but-necessary equipment is deemed included and prices stay firm.
8NHPC's Kamala amendment moved HM qualification into execution, then needed an errata to fix the clause it cited The same corrigendum cut muck disposal from four zones to two, removing both sites nearest the dam and leaving two shared 50/50 with the adjacent lot. Adverse climate moved from employer risk "Nil" to EOT, and earthquake gained express compensation. Grid power is tentative at two years out, with captive generation and compulsory later uptake both on the contractor.
8THDC's Kalai-II package moved 216 days and rewrote shotcrete from "no extra payment" to Rs 180 per kg Eight extensions ran alongside two substantive amendments and a notice refusing further queries — followed by another date revision. The 31.5-month clock now starts after a 30-day mobilisation period rather than on the seventh day from LOA. The road tunnel is carved out of the milestone-damage waiver every other milestone enjoys.
8AEGCL's Sonapur extension notice pushes bids to 2026 and schedules the opening for 2023 The same package records an NIT date in the pre-bid minutes that post-dates both the NIT and portal publication. A pre-bid meeting materialised where the portal fields read "NA", drawing nine firms. Prices stay fixed for 24 months and the request for conductor and cable escalation was refused.
8MPMKVVCL narrowed its type-test waiver to one rating and readmitted a disqualified bidder after opening The concession originally covered a new bidder lacking reports for any rating; it now covers only the 10 MVA unit. EMD is Rs 1 lakh against post-award security of 1% plus 9% on a 66-month instrument. A bidder rejected as a medium enterprise returned on the MSME notification preserving previous-category benefits for three years.
8NHPC's Salal award is 8.7% below estimate, or 1.5% above it, depending which estimate applies The benchmark rose 11.1% late in the cycle, taking experience, turnover, working capital and bid capacity up with it after an earlier corrigendum had widened technical eligibility. One of three bidders failed qualification, leaving a two-bid contest 3.4% apart. The NIT provides for reverse auction; the comparative statement shows only two values.
8WBSEDCL cut its retesting charge 90% and drew 188 bids in which L2 sits 44.0% above L1 EMD fell 30.0% and 16.7% across categories at pre-bid, while the charge per repeat inspection went from Rs 50,000 to Rs 5,000. Of 188 bids, 148 cleared technically, many only partially by capacity or transformer type. A bidder removed from the restricted-opening table after a corrigendum resurfaced in the price ranking at L22. Details

Contracting news for the day
Aug 12:
8KSEB's Rs 65.87 lakh 110 kV upgrade deleted its 5 km experience threshold and took a bid 9.91% below estimate Terms and conditions XVIII required 110 kV work "for at least 5km length of line completed in last 7years"; corrigendum-3 removed the length and applied the change to all clauses stating experience. Three bidders were admitted — L1 Rs 59,34,453.02, L2 16.4% above, L3 26.5% above and rejected on rate. Special condition 18 sets defects liability at 60 months while clauses 1.9, 1.18 and the payment language repeat 36.
8SECI's 45.6 MW Ramagiri wind package issued Corrigendum-1 nine minutes after queries closed and four hours before the pre-bid meeting Queries shut at 10:00 RTZ on 27 July, the corrigendum is timestamped 10:09, the pre-bid meeting sat at 14:30, and the amendment wording appears nowhere in the record. EMD is Rs 8.4368 crore for domestic and international bidders alike, against a Rs 25,000 processing fee. The tendering pattern reads "Single Stage Two Envelope followed by e-ReverseAuction" while the portal's evaluation-mechanism field reads "Not Applicable". PBG, bid validity, LD and maintenance duration sit outside the notice.
8RECPDCL's ERES-47 765 kV corridor turns a Rs 55.32 crore bid bond into a Rs 138.30 crore guarantee within ten days of LoI A 150% step-up lands on the winner the moment tariff competition ends. Qualification runs Rs 2,766 crore aggregate capex at Rs 553.20 crore per project and Rs 1,106.40 crore net worth. Clause 2.5.7 puts site, geology, transport and grid diligence on the bidder with no relief after deadline, while BSPTCL's Nawada–Guraru works and space at Jeerat stay outside TSP control. Assets, land, ROW and clearances transfer at zero cost 35 years after COD.
8RECPDCL's Solapur/Paranda GIS RFP moved its bid date 34 days and left the rest of Clause 2.7.2 behind Submission goes from 7 July to 10 August, stranding technical opening, qualification, initial offers, reverse auction, LoI and SPV transfer at their original July–August dates. CPG is Rs 30 crore, net worth Rs 250 crore, aggregate capex Rs 600 crore at Rs 120 crore per project. Three LILOs on HPC conductor and a Quad Moose link to Pune West carry a fallback obliging the TSP to buy adjacent land if utility space runs short. LD is 3.33% of monthly charges per day for 60 days then 5%, against a 24-month COD and 98% availability.
8OPTCL's Palaspanga–Barbil package states its estimate as Rs 3.15 crore in the narrative and Rs 315.27 crore in Table-A The smaller figure is exactly one-hundredth of the portal value and identical to the EMD. Table-A items 12–16 run a day behind the portal, while the IFB puts soft copies at 11 August, hard copies at 11 August 11:01 and EMD at 10 August 11:00. Lot-I and Lot-II are labelled separately but "shall be treated as a single contract" — two GIS upgrades plus 1.2 Rkm cable and 69.2 Rkm of 220 kV line. Both inside 24 months from LoA, with e-reverse auction reserved under ITB clause 29.
8NSPCL's Durgapur coal-mill R&M restored 24 mandatory pump assemblies eight days before closing, having cut them to three Amendment No. 2 made the reduction; Amendment No. 4, issued 10 August against an 18 August deadline, restored the original BOQ figure. Amendment No. 3 fixed instrumentation at one instrument for OLCS and two for CLCS and protection. Errata No. 01 corrected the tender ID to 2026_NSPCL_273894_1. The deadline moved 102 days across sixteen corrigenda while the technical baseline was still changing, with eight pulverisers to be replaced inside existing space without disturbing boiler performance.
8PSPCL's Ferozepur RDSS package went to the bidder that was 6.9% dearer before the auction and the only one that quoted in it The BOQ chart had SKS at Rs 84.95 crore against Nucon at Rs 90.84 crore; in the auction Nucon quoted Rs 84.87 crore and SKS was "Not Quoted". Final evaluation records Nucon Rs 83.80 crore at rank 1 and SKS Rs 84.95 crore at rank 2 — 1.4% apart, 31.0% and 32.8% above the Rs 63.97 crore published value. Corrigendum no. 3 reframes the tender from four packages to three and package 5 disappears unexplained. Financial opening was November 2024, final evaluation August 2026.
8RECPDCL's Barmer-II HVDC tender set a Rs 5,728 crore net-worth floor and five bidders cleared it Adani Energy Solutions, DRAIPL-CG Consortium, POWERGRID, Resonia and Terralight qualified; four are sole bidders, the fifth splits 26/74 between DRAIPL and Cube Grid Investments Pte. Ltd. The bid bond is Rs 286.40 crore and the CPG Rs 716 crore, due within ten days of LoI alongside full SPV acquisition. Scope covers two 6,000 MW ±800 kV LCC terminals, roughly 900 km of bipole and two synchronous condensers. Bipole-1 targets 48 months and Bipole-2 54, but the RFP requires simultaneous commissioning.
8BSUL's Rs 379.25 crore Jalaun evacuation package states EMD as Rs 3.80 crore in the NIT and Rs 38 lakh on the portal The tender ID shifts the same way, 913540_1 in the scanned NIT and Corrigendum-1 against 913570_1 across the CPPP record, clarification, Corrigendum-4 and opening report. Corrigendum-1 widened ITB 2.2.1 from "Sub-Station and/or Transmission line works" to "Sub-Station or any other electrical works" while holding the Rs 303.40/189.62/151.70 crore thresholds and the two 220 kV-plus bay test. SCC 3 keeps LD at 0.5% of total contract price per week where partial facilities cannot be beneficially used; SCC 3.1 and 4.0 read "Deleted" with substantive O&M text beneath, and the trial run reads "72 (Seventy-two) 24 (Twenty Four) hours continuously". Ten bidders were admitted on 10 August with the PGCIL Orai bay extension inside the contractor's scope.
8BHEL lets Talabira bidders borrow the ash-handling credentials they lack, then bills the prime bidder if a partner walks Vacuum conveying can substitute for pressure conveying where detailed engineering is vetted by an IIT or qualifying firm; missing water-impounded bottom-ash-hopper experience can be bridged by a design agency plus a performance-support undertaking; civil and structural gaps go to consortium partners. Clause 23.10 keeps the prime bidder accountable throughout. Clause 23.12 permits encashment of a departing partner's security, mandates replacement, and otherwise recovers the cost difference plus a 5% overhead factor. Clause 23.15 adds 1% consortium security, with reverse auction under clause 19.0 after technical qualification. Details

Contracting news for the day
Aug 11:
8Mahagenco's Rs 93.55 crore Koradi pipe tender asks a manufacturer for 100% turnover and a contractor for 30% Annexure A sets average annual turnover equal to the entire Rs 63.37 crore supply estimate; Annexure B sets its test at 30% of Rs 30.18 crore, or Rs 9.054 crore. The two rounded annexure values total Rs 93.55 crore against the NIT's Rs 93.552027 crore. Annexure B says the bidder or a consortium member should qualify both the works and supply conditions, while later provisions require only one member to meet the works QR — leaving unstated whether credentials can be split between two partners. Holding-company support runs five years from the last month of bidding or to the end of the defect-liability period.
8BHEL's Jharsuguda ash-handling EPC excludes civil and structural works, then makes the contractor responsible for them anyway TCC clause 3.14 keeps any additional item required for package completeness — mechanical, electrical, C&I, civil and structural — inside bidder scope unless specifically excluded. NIT clause 35.0 issues one LOA and then splits billing into supply, installation and five-year O&M, reserves BHEL's right to redistribute that split later, and makes a breach under one order a breach under the others. O&M starts at 5% of contract price and escalates 3% a year, aggregating roughly 26.5% over five years. Auxiliary power is capped at 3,173 kW with LD of Rs 14 lakh per additional kW. Bid issue to submission: eleven days.
8DVC's Rs 90.20 crore Chandrapura diversion names three different conductors for one package The high-level scope cites AAAC Panther 37/3.15 mm and AAAC Dog 19/2.89 mm; the detailed supply section calls for AAAC Zebra 61/3.31 mm plus underground cable, and the tender text does not map either set to a particular line. Corrigendum-I moved download, submission and opening each by seven days and states all other terms remain unaltered. Bid validity is 180 days while bid security must run 225. Price variation under SCC clause 8 stops rising past scheduled dates unless preserved in an extension letter; downward movement still accrues to the owner.
8OPGC's Rs 21.83 lakh protection audit carries two turnover thresholds, two experience windows and a handwritten voltage GeM shows minimum average annual turnover of Rs 7 lakh; the committee-approved QR clause 2.2.1 sets Rs 6.55 lakh. GeM states five years of past experience while QR clause 2.1.1 admits similar works completed in the preceding seven. The 40%/50%/80% ladder should read Rs 8.732, 10.915 and 17.464 lakh; the QR prints Rs 8.73, 10.90 and 17.50 lakh — 40.0%, 49.9% and 80.2%. The QR scan carries a handwritten "220KV" beside the printed 400 kV similar-work description. Payment is set at 30 days, expressly superseding the 10 days in GeM GTC clause 12.
8OPTCL's Rs 147.97 crore Balasore cable tender can't agree with itself on how many stages it has The IFB describes a "single stage two part system"; the portal field reads "Stage: Two Stages". Document availability differs the same way — the notice runs 06.06.2026 to 06.07.2026, the portal 11-06-2026 to 08-07-2026, with closing at 14:00 and techno-commercial opening at 15:00 on 8 July. The notice rounds the estimate to Rs 147.97 crore while the portal records Rs 1,47,97,02,728 and fixes EMD at Rs 1,47,97,027. No corrigendum in the package reconciles either. Cost-opening date is to be defined later.
8NTPC's Ramagundam transformer tender gives three different answers on price escalation The technical specification applies IEEMA escalation to the transformer price alone and keeps freight, insurance, spares, tests and erection firm; BDS marks price-adjustment data "Not Applicable"; Appendix-2 sets out a wider adjustment framework across equipment, erection, structural and civil components without a ceiling. The contract runs 30 months. BDS clause 13 confines installation pricing to 10–15% of the supply portion and retains amounts quoted outside that band without interest rather than rejecting the bid. BDS clause 31 carves 5% of the service portion out against quarterly safety certification. The NIT calls it single-stage two-envelope; the portal operates three covers.
8JPDCL's Rs 538.15 lakh "DPR" is a 33 kV line build, and its extension left bid opening six days before bid closing The SBD reduces scope to "As per BOQ", and the BOQ carries 420 11-metre poles, 40 13-metre poles, 42,000 kg of channel iron, 72 km of ACSR, 920 stay sets and 15 lattice-structure jobs. Extension Notice-1 moved the last date for bidding from 10 August to 17 August "due to low response" but left technical opening at 11 August and hard-copy EMD submission at 10 August. The performance-security clause is numbered 2 yet directs bidders to "clause 3.2", and the unbalanced-bid provision refers back to "clause 3.1". Clause 20.2 places jurisdiction by reference to Ramban in a Udhampur-Chenani package.
8HPSEBL's Rs 3.72 crore distribution-reform consultancy is gated on transmission turnover, then run through both QCBS and a reverse auction Eligibility requires Rs 70 crore average annual turnover in power-transmission consultancy at 66 kV and above for an assignment framed under a distribution-sector scheme; joint ventures are barred. ITC 25.1 sets 70:30 QCBS while the NIT adds an e-reverse auction with a 0.5% decrement, and no provision states how the auction price enters the financial score. The NIT and portal require Rs 7.44 lakh EMD; the RFP requires a bid-securing declaration in lieu of it. Validity is 180 days on the portal and 120 in Data Sheet ITC 12.1; one ITC provision bars subcontracting while ITC 12.8 permits it. Three corrigenda, 31 days, no substantive change.
8MPPMCL's 625 MW storage tender still shows its opening event six days before the bids come in The header applies 10 August for receipt of bids while the NIT table retains 4 August as the tender opening event and 30 July for document procurement. Corrigendum-1 issued 24 July and the record separately notes "Addendum #2 Issued", neither reproduced at NIT level. Bid security is Rs 2.20 lakh/MW rather than a flat sum, alongside a Rs 15 lakh processing fee plus GST and a Rs 30,000 ETS charge. Chemistry, cycle life, degradation, augmentation, availability and PBG terms sit outside the notice.
8NSPCL's Durgapur mill tender cut mandatory spare pump assemblies from 24 to three, then put them back to 24 Amendment no. 2 made the reduction; Amendment no. 4 restored the original figure, stating "As per the Original BOQ". The same amendment chain rewrote completion LD from a flat Rs 6,89,750 per day to 0.5% per week on the contract price attributable to uncommissioned mills, capped at 5%; deleted unburnt-carbon loss as a sizing criterion; disallowed YGP correction of wear life; and cut the wear-life demonstration population from three pulverisers to two. The shutdown-extension LD provision still reads "INR xxxxxx". Eleven closing-date revisions moved the deadline 102 days from 8 May to 18 August.
8NTPC's Rihand generator-transformer tender marks price adjustment applicable and the price-adjustment appendix "NOT APPLICABLE" BDS identifies Attachment 8P as applicable; Appendix-2 is headed "PRICE ADJUSTMENT (NOT APPLICABLE)" and then sets out uncapped escalation formulas for equipment, erection and other components. BDS item 13.0 states "Civil work Price Component: Not Applicable" and immediately requires that component to fall between 70% and 75% of the supply portion, against a BOQ built around supply, erection, freight, spares and tests. Installation pricing outside the 10–15% band draws interest-free retention. Contract period 36 months; LD 0.5% weekly capped at 5%.
8DVVNL's Rs 79.32 crore AB cable tender shows 5% performance security on the portal and 10% in the terms that override it GeM prescribes a 5% ePBG for 48 months; the ATC declares itself overriding and sets a 10% contract performance guarantee, with clause 36 rendering it as "Ten Percent (10%) plus GST@18% of the total Contract price". Guarantee duration is written three ways — 90 days after contract completion, 180 days after warranty expiry, and again 90 days beyond successful warranty completion. Corrigenda C5 and C6 carry identical substantive terms and differ only in identifier, yet C6 states it supersedes all existing buyer-added conditions. The portal permits splitting among 30 bidders while the ATC requires each bidder to offer at least 25% of quantity; the award went five ways at one rate, Rs 474.10 per metre.
8KSEB's transformer tender has two probable contract amounts, Rs 10.46 crore apart, and L1 and L2 separated by Rs 2.67 lakh The notice and portal record a PAC of Rs 72.16 crore; the 3 August pre-qualification minutes cite Rs 61.70 crore, with no reconciliation. Against the first figure L1 at Rs 84.65 crore is 17.3% high; against the second, 37.2%. L2 stood at Rs 84.68 crore — a 0.03% spread — while L5 came in 31.6% above L1. Clause 18.7.4 had specified a finishing coat as both "dark admiral gray conforming to No. 632" and "No. 541 (Light Brown)" until the corrigendum removed the second. Three of the five qualified bidders were admitted on undertakings to produce compliant type-test reports before supply.
8PSPCL's Faridkot RDSS package records an auction price of Rs 111.60 crore and an award value of Rs 111.71 crore The difference, about Rs 11.17 lakh, is almost exactly the single 0.1% decrement that produced the auction result; the comparative BOQ summary and award-facing record remain at the pre-auction figure. Only two bidders reached financial evaluation and only one entered a revised figure, the other recorded "Not Quoted". L1 finished 24.8% above the Rs 89.46 crore estimate, L2 42.0% above. SCC fixes performance security at 3% while the advance-payment condition refers to 10% of contract price, and the payment clause reads "sixty-five (60) days". Individual BOQ items may move ±50%.
8PFCCL's Fatehgarh-II synchronous condenser tender opened bids 76 days after the date the RFP set Clause 2.7.1 fixed 17 April 2026; the qualification notice records actual opening on 2 July and qualified bidders declared on 10 July. Exactly four bidders qualified against a rule advancing the higher of the top 50% of ranked initial offers or four — so the shortlist and the auction field are the same set. Qualification tests infrastructure capex of Rs 1,140 crore aggregate and Rs 456 crore net worth, not synchronous-condenser operating history, while performance is measured at the PCC with total losses below 2%, 97% availability and 1,200 MVA short-circuit contribution. Assets transfer at zero cost 35 years after COD.
8RECPDCL amended its Rs 55.32 crore-bond ERES-47 bid deadline the day before it fell due, and left COD where it was Amendment-IV, dated 10.08.2026, moved submission from 11 to 18 August, qualified-bidder announcement to 27 August, initial-offer opening to 31 August, the reverse auction to 1 September and SPV transfer from 10 to 21 September — an 11-day shift at the far end. Scheduled COD stays 31.03.2029, so the post-award runway shortens by the same amount. Technical qualification requires Rs 2,766 crore aggregate capex with Rs 553.20 crore per project and Rs 1,106.40 crore net worth. Execution depends on BSPTCL's matching Nawada–Guraru works and space at Jeerat from another entity.
8A 400 kV GIS switching-station RFP has now moved its bid date 48 days without touching a 24-month COD Amendment-III shifts submission from 10 to 24 August, 14 days, against an original RFP date of 7 July; qualification announcement, initial-offer opening and reverse auction all move to 1, 2 and 3 September, and document signing to 21 September. Initial offers and the auction remain one day apart. The bid bond is Rs 12 crore and the performance guarantee Rs 30 crore, with net worth of Rs 250 crore and Rs 600 crore aggregate capex required. LILO conductor, OPGW and earth wire must match existing-line parameters, and bay-extension work may add roads, drainage, trenches and levelling identified only at site inspection. The amendment states the revised timetable and no reason for it. Details
8BHEL's Jharsuguda ash-handling EPC excludes civil and structural works, then makes the contractor responsible for them anyway TCC clause 3.14 keeps any additional item required for package completeness — mechanical, electrical, C&I, civil and structural — inside bidder scope unless specifically excluded. NIT clause 35.0 issues one LOA and then splits billing into supply, installation and five-year O&M, reserves BHEL's right to redistribute that split later, and makes a breach under one order a breach under the others. O&M starts at 5% of contract price and escalates 3% a year, aggregating roughly 26.5% over five years. Auxiliary power is capped at 3,173 kW with LD of Rs 14 lakh per additional kW. Bid issue to submission: eleven days.
8DVC's Rs 90.20 crore Chandrapura diversion names three different conductors for one package The high-level scope cites AAAC Panther 37/3.15 mm and AAAC Dog 19/2.89 mm; the detailed supply section calls for AAAC Zebra 61/3.31 mm plus underground cable, and the tender text does not map either set to a particular line. Corrigendum-I moved download, submission and opening each by seven days and states all other terms remain unaltered. Bid validity is 180 days while bid security must run 225. Price variation under SCC clause 8 stops rising past scheduled dates unless preserved in an extension letter; downward movement still accrues to the owner.
8OPGC's Rs 21.83 lakh protection audit carries two turnover thresholds, two experience windows and a handwritten voltage GeM shows minimum average annual turnover of Rs 7 lakh; the committee-approved QR clause 2.2.1 sets Rs 6.55 lakh. GeM states five years of past experience while QR clause 2.1.1 admits similar works completed in the preceding seven. The 40%/50%/80% ladder should read Rs 8.732, 10.915 and 17.464 lakh; the QR prints Rs 8.73, 10.90 and 17.50 lakh — 40.0%, 49.9% and 80.2%. The QR scan carries a handwritten "220KV" beside the printed 400 kV similar-work description. Payment is set at 30 days, expressly superseding the 10 days in GeM GTC clause 12.
8OPTCL's Rs 147.97 crore Balasore cable tender can't agree with itself on how many stages it has The IFB describes a "single stage two part system"; the portal field reads "Stage: Two Stages". Document availability differs the same way — the notice runs 06.06.2026 to 06.07.2026, the portal 11-06-2026 to 08-07-2026, with closing at 14:00 and techno-commercial opening at 15:00 on 8 July. The notice rounds the estimate to Rs 147.97 crore while the portal records Rs 1,47,97,02,728 and fixes EMD at Rs 1,47,97,027. No corrigendum in the package reconciles either. Cost-opening date is to be defined later.
8NTPC's Ramagundam transformer tender gives three different answers on price escalation The technical specification applies IEEMA escalation to the transformer price alone and keeps freight, insurance, spares, tests and erection firm; BDS marks price-adjustment data "Not Applicable"; Appendix-2 sets out a wider adjustment framework across equipment, erection, structural and civil components without a ceiling. The contract runs 30 months. BDS clause 13 confines installation pricing to 10–15% of the supply portion and retains amounts quoted outside that band without interest rather than rejecting the bid. BDS clause 31 carves 5% of the service portion out against quarterly safety certification. The NIT calls it single-stage two-envelope; the portal operates three covers.
8JPDCL's Rs 538.15 lakh "DPR" is a 33 kV line build, and its extension left bid opening six days before bid closing The SBD reduces scope to "As per BOQ", and the BOQ carries 420 11-metre poles, 40 13-metre poles, 42,000 kg of channel iron, 72 km of ACSR, 920 stay sets and 15 lattice-structure jobs. Extension Notice-1 moved the last date for bidding from 10 August to 17 August "due to low response" but left technical opening at 11 August and hard-copy EMD submission at 10 August. The performance-security clause is numbered 2 yet directs bidders to "clause 3.2", and the unbalanced-bid provision refers back to "clause 3.1". Clause 20.2 places jurisdiction by reference to Ramban in a Udhampur-Chenani package.
8HPSEBL's Rs 3.72 crore distribution-reform consultancy is gated on transmission turnover, then run through both QCBS and a reverse auction Eligibility requires Rs 70 crore average annual turnover in power-transmission consultancy at 66 kV and above for an assignment framed under a distribution-sector scheme; joint ventures are barred. ITC 25.1 sets 70:30 QCBS while the NIT adds an e-reverse auction with a 0.5% decrement, and no provision states how the auction price enters the financial score. The NIT and portal require Rs 7.44 lakh EMD; the RFP requires a bid-securing declaration in lieu of it. Validity is 180 days on the portal and 120 in Data Sheet ITC 12.1; one ITC provision bars subcontracting while ITC 12.8 permits it. Three corrigenda, 31 days, no substantive change.
8MPPMCL's 625 MW storage tender still shows its opening event six days before the bids come in The header applies 10 August for receipt of bids while the NIT table retains 4 August as the tender opening event and 30 July for document procurement. Corrigendum-1 issued 24 July and the record separately notes "Addendum #2 Issued", neither reproduced at NIT level. Bid security is Rs 2.20 lakh/MW rather than a flat sum, alongside a Rs 15 lakh processing fee plus GST and a Rs 30,000 ETS charge. Chemistry, cycle life, degradation, augmentation, availability and PBG terms sit outside the notice.
8NSPCL's Durgapur mill tender cut mandatory spare pump assemblies from 24 to three, then put them back to 24 Amendment no. 2 made the reduction; Amendment no. 4 restored the original figure, stating "As per the Original BOQ". The same amendment chain rewrote completion LD from a flat Rs 6,89,750 per day to 0.5% per week on the contract price attributable to uncommissioned mills, capped at 5%; deleted unburnt-carbon loss as a sizing criterion; disallowed YGP correction of wear life; and cut the wear-life demonstration population from three pulverisers to two. The shutdown-extension LD provision still reads "INR xxxxxx". Eleven closing-date revisions moved the deadline 102 days from 8 May to 18 August.
8NTPC's Rihand generator-transformer tender marks price adjustment applicable and the price-adjustment appendix "NOT APPLICABLE" BDS identifies Attachment 8P as applicable; Appendix-2 is headed "PRICE ADJUSTMENT (NOT APPLICABLE)" and then sets out uncapped escalation formulas for equipment, erection and other components. BDS item 13.0 states "Civil work Price Component: Not Applicable" and immediately requires that component to fall between 70% and 75% of the supply portion, against a BOQ built around supply, erection, freight, spares and tests. Installation pricing outside the 10–15% band draws interest-free retention. Contract period 36 months; LD 0.5% weekly capped at 5%.
8DVVNL's Rs 79.32 crore AB cable tender shows 5% performance security on the portal and 10% in the terms that override it GeM prescribes a 5% ePBG for 48 months; the ATC declares itself overriding and sets a 10% contract performance guarantee, with clause 36 rendering it as "Ten Percent (10%) plus GST@18% of the total Contract price". Guarantee duration is written three ways — 90 days after contract completion, 180 days after warranty expiry, and again 90 days beyond successful warranty completion. Corrigenda C5 and C6 carry identical substantive terms and differ only in identifier, yet C6 states it supersedes all existing buyer-added conditions. The portal permits splitting among 30 bidders while the ATC requires each bidder to offer at least 25% of quantity; the award went five ways at one rate, Rs 474.10 per metre.
8KSEB's transformer tender has two probable contract amounts, Rs 10.46 crore apart, and L1 and L2 separated by Rs 2.67 lakh The notice and portal record a PAC of Rs 72.16 crore; the 3 August pre-qualification minutes cite Rs 61.70 crore, with no reconciliation. Against the first figure L1 at Rs 84.65 crore is 17.3% high; against the second, 37.2%. L2 stood at Rs 84.68 crore — a 0.03% spread — while L5 came in 31.6% above L1. Clause 18.7.4 had specified a finishing coat as both "dark admiral gray conforming to No. 632" and "No. 541 (Light Brown)" until the corrigendum removed the second. Three of the five qualified bidders were admitted on undertakings to produce compliant type-test reports before supply.
8PSPCL's Faridkot RDSS package records an auction price of Rs 111.60 crore and an award value of Rs 111.71 crore The difference, about Rs 11.17 lakh, is almost exactly the single 0.1% decrement that produced the auction result; the comparative BOQ summary and award-facing record remain at the pre-auction figure. Only two bidders reached financial evaluation and only one entered a revised figure, the other recorded "Not Quoted". L1 finished 24.8% above the Rs 89.46 crore estimate, L2 42.0% above. SCC fixes performance security at 3% while the advance-payment condition refers to 10% of contract price, and the payment clause reads "sixty-five (60) days". Individual BOQ items may move ±50%.
8PFCCL's Fatehgarh-II synchronous condenser tender opened bids 76 days after the date the RFP set Clause 2.7.1 fixed 17 April 2026; the qualification notice records actual opening on 2 July and qualified bidders declared on 10 July. Exactly four bidders qualified against a rule advancing the higher of the top 50% of ranked initial offers or four — so the shortlist and the auction field are the same set. Qualification tests infrastructure capex of Rs 1,140 crore aggregate and Rs 456 crore net worth, not synchronous-condenser operating history, while performance is measured at the PCC with total losses below 2%, 97% availability and 1,200 MVA short-circuit contribution. Assets transfer at zero cost 35 years after COD.
8RECPDCL amended its Rs 55.32 crore-bond ERES-47 bid deadline the day before it fell due, and left COD where it was Amendment-IV, dated 10.08.2026, moved submission from 11 to 18 August, qualified-bidder announcement to 27 August, initial-offer opening to 31 August, the reverse auction to 1 September and SPV transfer from 10 to 21 September — an 11-day shift at the far end. Scheduled COD stays 31.03.2029, so the post-award runway shortens by the same amount. Technical qualification requires Rs 2,766 crore aggregate capex with Rs 553.20 crore per project and Rs 1,106.40 crore net worth. Execution depends on BSPTCL's matching Nawada–Guraru works and space at Jeerat from another entity.
8A 400 kV GIS switching-station RFP has now moved its bid date 48 days without touching a 24-month COD Amendment-III shifts submission from 10 to 24 August, 14 days, against an original RFP date of 7 July; qualification announcement, initial-offer opening and reverse auction all move to 1, 2 and 3 September, and document signing to 21 September. Initial offers and the auction remain one day apart. The bid bond is Rs 12 crore and the performance guarantee Rs 30 crore, with net worth of Rs 250 crore and Rs 600 crore aggregate capex required. LILO conductor, OPGW and earth wire must match existing-line parameters, and bay-extension work may add roads, drainage, trenches and levelling identified only at site inspection. The amendment states the revised timetable and no reason for it. Details

More than 55,000 MW was outside the online fleet in CEA’s monitored snapshot - while generation still reached 98.2% of programme
Aug 10:
8CEA counted 55,674 MW unavailable across planned, forced and other outage categories while monitored stations still produced 98.2% of programme. The near-target output shows that the remaining fleet carried the day, but the outage burden narrowed the buffer against another large failure.

India has certified 78 green-steel units and advanced specialty-steel incentives - but neither measure yet proves how much cleaner steel is being produced
Aug 10:
8India has certified 78 green-steel units and advanced production-linked incentives for specialty steel, creating formal routes for cleaner and higher-value output. The policy architecture is moving, but the disclosed record still does not quantify how much certified low-emission steel has actually been produced or sold.

BCCL put a new 2.0 MTPA washery into operation and monetised another - but profit collapsed nearly 90% as production and offtake weakened
Aug 10:
8BCCL started commercial operation of the 2.0 MTPA Bhojudih washery and monetised the 2.0 MTPA Dugda washery through a long-term operating agreement. Those projects could lift domestic washed-coking-coal supply, but profit after tax fell from Rs. 1,240.19 crore to Rs. 128.28 crore as production, offtake and costs moved against the company.

Coal India spent Rs. 19,607 crore and added 100 MW of solar - but coal output fell to 768.19 million tonnes, 168.81 million tonnes below its own target
Aug 10:
8Coal India spent Rs. 19,607 crore and commissioned the 100 MW Patan solar project while expanding into critical minerals and a proposed 1,600 MW thermal venture. The diversification advanced, but coal production slipped to 768.19 million tonnes and missed the company’s 937 million-tonne target by 168.81 million tonnes.

PFC’s loan book reached Rs. 5.80 lakh crore and net NPAs fell to 0.15% - but annual sanctions dropped Rs. 75,094 crore as fresh commitments slowed
Aug 10:
8PFC ended 2025–26 with Rs. 5.80 lakh crore of loan assets, Rs. 20,051 crore of standalone profit and a net NPA ratio of 0.15%. Asset quality strengthened, but sanctions fell to Rs. 2.86 lakh crore from Rs. 3.61 lakh crore, making the pace and quality of new commitments the next growth test.

Inox Wind’s order book reached about 4.4 GW - but quarterly profit fell 34% as its shift toward equipment sales held income growth to 1%
Aug 10:
8Inox Wind reported an order book of about 4.4 GW in July, including a 500 MW firm group order and a 200 MW NLC award. The pipeline is large, but first-quarter profit fell 34% and management’s equipment-sales pivot has yet to show the promised improvement in later quarters.

Premier Energies lifted profit 53% and opened 5.6 GW of module capacity - but the new factory must convert nameplate scale into sustained sales and margin
Aug 10:
8Premier Energies raised quarterly profit by 53% and opened 5.6 GW of module capacity, expanding the manufacturing base behind its order pipeline. The new factory changes the company’s scale immediately, but earnings quality depends on utilisation, cell supply, pricing and sustained conversion of capacity into sales.

Hitachi Energy’s orders and revenue surged - while Rs. 1,841.66 crore of QIP money still sat unused
Aug 10:
8Hitachi Energy India reported sharp growth in orders and revenue while retaining Rs. 1,841.66 crore of QIP proceeds as unutilised at quarter end. The balance sheet can fund expansion, but the investment case now depends on converting record demand and idle capital into delivered capacity, cash and margins.

Amazon’s proposed Mumbai data-centre campus would demand 473 MW and install hundreds of backup generators - but it still lacks final environmental clearance
Aug 10:
8Amazon Data Services’ proposed Mumbai campus would require 473 MW of power and a large diesel-backup fleet across a multi-building development. The scale makes it a major new load, but the committee recommendation is not final clearance, grid sanction or proof of a contracted cleaner supply.
Details
CESC’s 3 GW solar-cell plan won environmental clearance only for Phase I - leaving the second phase and construction approvals outside the gate
Aug 10:
8CESC Green Power’s 3 GW solar-cell proposal has environmental clearance for its first phase at Jewar, not for the entire factory. The approval moves a major manufacturing investment forward, but Phase II, construction permissions and operating execution still sit outside the cleared gate.

A Vemagiri bus fault cut about 1,150 MW of Andhra Pradesh load in 14 minutes - after overloaded transformers at another station also tripped
Aug 10:
8A Vemagiri bus fault removed about 1,150 MW of Andhra Pradesh demand for 14 minutes while overloaded transformers at another station also tripped. Supply returned quickly, but the scale of the loss shows how a local fault and stressed parallel equipment can combine into a statewide reliability event.
Details
Gujarat’s renewable evacuation network suffered repeated single-path failures, including 800 MW and 540 MW losses - making redundancy the month’s unresolved risk
Aug 10:
8Gujarat’s renewable network recorded repeated single-path events, including losses of about 800 MW and 540 MW, across the month’s grid-event register. Individual protection operations may have worked, but the recurrence shows that several generation pockets still depended on evacuation arrangements that did not survive one credible failure.
Details
Two simultaneous line trips cut about 130 MW across six Assam load centres - after another 220 kV route was already shut
Aug 10:
8During an approved shutdown of the BTPS–Rangia-I line, all six affected load centres were being supplied through the Sonabil–Depota and Sonabil–Ghoramari paths. Both lines tripped at 15:04, cutting about 130 MW until the network was restored, and turning a planned outage into a direct redundancy failure.
Details
A Champa–Kurukshetra HVDC failure cut about 2,680 MW of transfer and triggered Punjab’s defence scheme - but Punjab’s recorded demand drop was about 252 MW
Aug 10:
8A measuring-card failure blocked two poles carrying about 2,680 MW and triggered Punjab’s feeder defence scheme, while the state’s recorded demand changed by about 252 MW. Protection limited the disturbance, but the gap between transfer loss and demand response shows why the event cannot be described as 2,680 MW of consumer load shedding.

Thirty coal plants were critical even with 37 million tonnes on hand - because the fleet held only 60% of its normative stock
Aug 10:
8Thirty plants were at critical stock even though total coal holdings reached 37 million tonnes, because the monitored fleet held only 60% of its normative requirement. The national pile therefore concealed plant-level exposure where location and delivery, not aggregate tonnes, determined security.

Contracting news for the day
Aug 10:
8Arunachal's Pathar Camp award carries two prices for the same bid, 19.0% apart Financial-opening proceedings record Techno Power at Rs 98.75 crore and Shyam Steel at Rs 119.57 crore; the BOQ comparative chart records Rs 82.98 crore and Rs 100.48 crore — the same 19.0% gap for both bidders. The award settles on the lower BOQ figure. Three of five bidders never reached price opening, falling on unsigned pages, missing OEM authorisations and EHV-licence gaps, leaving a 21.1% spread between the only two survivors. The portal and committee proceedings also cite two different NIT numbers for one tender ID.
8AVVNL's 110 MW rooftop tender now allocates a multi-lot winner's cheapest circle first, not its biggest Corrigendum No. 2 replaces descending lot quantity with ascending quoted price per unit as the allocation sequence — so a bidder that is L1 across several circles can have its highest-priced win displaced once the 20,000-consumer cap is reached. Turnover is tested at 30% of the total value quoted, making a five-lot bid a balance-sheet decision. Nineteen of the 25 technically admitted bids arrived only after the original deadline.
8Ukwa mine tender sets quantity variation at ±20% in one document and 25% in another The technical specification says "+/- 20%"; the GeM option clause permits 25% at issue and a further 25% post-award — a five-point gap across a four-year contract committing nine LHDs, 36 face drills and nine shotcrete machines. The GeM summary also reads "Arbitration Clause: No" while clause 48 sets out a sole-arbitrator regime with Nagpur jurisdiction. Corrigendum C5 declares itself to supersede all prior buyer-added terms.
8PVVNL's conductor tender qualified one bidder "as trial" while simultaneously coding it rejected The evaluation record shows "Rejected-Technical" alongside the remark "Techno Commercially qualified as trial" for the same participant — a status distinct from the seven bidders marked qualified as regular. What trial standing entitles that bidder to, whether its price bid opens, and how trial converts to regular are nowhere defined. Seven of nine reached the 6 August price opening on regular terms.
8JdVVNL's 110 MW rooftop tender makes MNRE guidelines override its own specification Clarification No. 1 states that where the tender's material specification conflicts with MNRE requirements, MNRE prevails — a compliance baseline that can move during a ten-year O&M term. The same package flips lot allocation from quantity-first to lowest-unit-price-first, swaps meter standard IS 14697 for IS 13779, and holds half the 10% performance security to year five and the balance to year ten.
8JVVNL's 18-lot rooftop tender lets a bidder's own price ladder decide which circles it loses Corrigendum No. 1 allocates successful lots in ascending order of quoted unit price, with a lottery in the Chief Engineer's chamber where price and lot quantity tie. Turnover is now tested against the lots actually quoted rather than the full Rs 627.50 crore estimate. The e-procurement record and the specification also carried different original technical-opening times — 3:00 pm against 5:00 pm — before the seven-day extension overrode both.
8NTPC's Rs 200 crore Kaniha ash contract ended with five identical contracts at 10.58% of base value All five awardees hold contracts of Rs 21.156 crore — a 0.0% spread across L1, L2 and L3 — because ranked bidders were invited to match the L1 price. The panel includes L1 through L4 and, unexplained, L9; L5 to L8 do not appear. Clause C's formula for calculating each bidder's cumulative cap against a five-member panel doesn't reconcile with the identical full-value contracts actually issued. Corrigendum C2 fixed a penalty clause that cross-referenced a nonexistent "Clause 16."
8UPNEDA's 40,000-light tender can extinguish a quarterly AMC payment if district verification doesn't happen in time The amended Clause 8.18 requires live RMS data to be verified by the district project officer each quarter and uploaded to RESIMS; failure causes that quarter's payment to lapse with no later claim — against a 15% retention released at 3% a year over five years. Corrigendum-1 separately disabled equalisation charging, which the original spec had mandated every 30±2 days on an LFP battery. Sixteen of 22 bidders cleared technical evaluation.
8BHEL's Bandhabal ASU tender doubled the power baseline used to load bids, from 400 kW to 800 kW The same amendment nets turbine-generated electricity against consumption before applying NPV loading over a 25-year life — so integration, not gross demand, decides evaluated L1. Qualification was cut in the opposite direction: the reference threshold fell from 1,000 TPD oxygen to 500 TPD, the window widened from 10 to 15 years, and required operating history halved to one year. Five closing-date extensions. A bidder's warning that simultaneous LOX and LIN vaporisation would breach the 10 TPH steam cap drew a request for figures, not a ruling.
8NHPC raised the generator performance coefficients on its Rs 641.11 crore Uri-I tender by 20.6% Both the bid-equalisation rate and the shortfall deduction moved from Rs 21.642 lakh to Rs 26.099 lakh and Rs 86.565 lakh to Rs 104.396 lakh — turbine figures rose 5.0%. Corrigendum No. 4 also replaced the cooling-water and HVAC chapters outright, rebased escalation indices from 2011-12 to 2022-23, added partial acceptance, and introduced a contractor-change route that pays nothing for rejected proposals. Deadlines have moved 32 days.
8JVVNL's 25,000-transformer tender withdrew the bid-security relaxation its own registered vendors previously enjoyed Appendix-A removes the Nigam-registration concession and resets performance security at 5%, with additional security where a bid falls more than 15% under estimate. L1 gets only 20% of the volume under the allocation ladder; 50% can go to firms outside the top four. Prior execution acts as a gate — a supplier under 50% delivered on an earlier order may find its bid unopened. Schedule-X prints a June 1 submission deadline for a tender published in August and closing 1 September.
8GETCO's Rs 94.87 crore HTLS tender pays more to bidders who refuse its advance Amended Clause 86.0 splits payment by financing choice: 90% progressive supply payment without the advance, less with it, and 80% versus 70% on erection RA bills — the advance carrying SBI MCLR interest against a 110% BG. Conductor losses are capitalised at Rs 1,60,000 per kW before reverse bidding starts, so the lowest percentage isn't automatically L1. RoW compensation moved to GETCO; RoW fieldwork stayed with the contractor. Security validity is written as "25 Months (60 Months + 01 Month)."
8CSPDCL's Atal Nagar batch bars Class III contractors from its Rs 1.37 lakh package while admitting them to the Rs 1.76 lakh one Only the 33KV isolator replacement at Mungi substation carries the tighter classification — the gate is voltage and operational risk, not value. All five packages share one deadline, one completion figure recorded simply as "30" with no unit stated, and a stated opening time identical to the closing time.
8TANTRANSCO's Rs 271.79 crore GEC-II substation limits escalation to transformers and reactors, and only on 90% of their cost Everything else — civil works, erection, freight, insurance, switchgear installation — stays firm across 24 months that expressly include rainy seasons, with the transformer adjustment itself capped at ±30%. Delay damages start softer than usual at 0.10% weekly, but can be calculated on the entire contract price where partial works can't be beneficially used. Unresolved level-3 ESHS non-conformity cuts interim certificates 33.3%, then 66.6%, then 100%. Guarantee obligations appear as 36 months in the payment documents, 60 months in the technical requirements and five years for ICTs in the Particular Conditions.
8APEPDCL called a hybrid pre-bid meeting for its Rs 143.32 crore SCADA tender one day before queries close Corrigendum-1 fixes the meeting for 18 August; the RFP keeps 19 August at 17:00 as the query cut-off, leaving roughly a working day to convert answers into formal clarifications on OEM responsibilities, field interfaces and FMS economics. The portal describes the meeting as offline while the corrigendum provides hybrid attendance. The BOQ separately requires five-year FMS charges to be at least 20% of SCADA project cost, with the annual figure identical across all five years.
8UPPTCL's conductor tender demands 10% performance security in the SBD and 5% on GeM — and says the SBD wins ITB 41.2 requires a CPBG of 10% of contract price including GST; the GeM page shows a 5% ePBG for 30 months, while BDS ITB 30 expressly gives the SBD precedence over GeM. The turnover threshold diverges the same way: Rs 224.82 crore in the BDS against Rs 56.20 crore on the portal. Positive IEEMA variation stops once supply runs past schedule even with an extension granted; negative variation continues.
8TPCODL halved its own GCC delay penalty on a Rs 44 crore substation conversion, then extended the liability tail to a decade Tender clause 7.1.7 sets LD at 0.5% weekly on unfinished work capped at 5%; the GCC position is 1% weekly on executed value capped at 10%. In exchange, the CPBG stays alive across a 78-month architecture and a five-year latent-defect warranty starts only after the 60-month guarantee ends. Clause 2.2 states there is no guarantee on quantity of job, with release orders issued only after substation-wise joint survey. Turnover requirement: Rs 100 crore against a Rs 44 crore estimate.
8OPTCL's Rs 102.39 crore Narendrapur cable tender can't agree with itself on how many stages it has The IFB describes a "single stage two part system"; the portal field reads "Stage: Two Stages" — a distinction that changes submission and evaluation mechanics for a bidder committing Rs 1.02 crore of EMD. The document-availability window also differs: the IFB closes it 6 July, the portal 8 July at 12:00, with tender closing at 14:00 the same day. The package bundles 132 kV underground cable with bay extensions at two live substations.
8JVVNL's 37-substation RDSS tender states nine months for completion in one part and 12 in another Part 1 gives one month for survey plus eight for execution; SCC GCC 8.1 and 8.2 give three months for commencement inside a 12-month total — and the contract hierarchy puts Part 3 above Part 1. The second 30% supply payment is conditioned on commissioning "a minimum one cluster," defined by electrification of rural households, inside a package that procures 33/11 kV substations. The technical specification also refers to supervision at substations "in state of Uttar Pradesh."
8RVPN's Dholpur line tender lists a bid amount of Rs 1.00 against a Rs 94.48 crore turnover requirement The portal field is economically meaningless beside a Rs 31.49 crore liquidity threshold and a 50 km single-order 400 kV execution test. Subsidiary, associate and subcontractor credentials don't count, and JV bidding is marked not applicable. OPGW installation runs predominantly live-line, with tower structural analysis and any resulting strengthening at no additional cost to the employer, plus a 99.9% availability target requiring a seven-person certified gang, a jeep and a Tata 407.
8NTPC REL extended its 540 MW Anantapur wind tender a day after the original deadline had passed Corrigendum-2 carries a 5 August timestamp; the original bid receipt closed 4 August, and the applicable deadline now reads 17 August. A WTG manufacturer may use only one qualifying route and, under the association route, back only one bidder — multiple participation can void all affected bids. Land acquisition, ROW, the external EHV line to the ISTS substation and ten years of comprehensive O&M all sit inside contractor scope. A 540 MW quote requires Rs 714.04 crore of average annual turnover.
8MPPMCL's 625 MW storage tender now closes six days after the opening date printed in its own schedule The portal header applies 10 August for bid receipt while the NIT table still shows the tender opening event on 4 August and document procurement closing 30 July — an 11-day extension layered over legacy dates never rewritten. Corrigendum-1 and Addendum #2 have both issued. Bid security runs Rs 2.20 lakh/MW across a BOO structure with VGF support and a reverse auction at the end.
8SJVN's 265 MW Haryana storage tender shows an addendum issued and no corrigenda at the same time Addendum #1 is flagged on the tender page while the portal separately records "No Corrigenda Issued," and the clauses it supplements aren't identified anywhere at NIT level. EMD scales with capacity at Rs 2.40 lakh per MWh rather than sitting as a fixed sum, and the Rs 15 lakh processing fee plus GST applies to each project. Degradation, augmentation, availability guarantees and PBG terms all sit outside the published notice. Details
8AVVNL's 110 MW rooftop tender now allocates a multi-lot winner's cheapest circle first, not its biggest Corrigendum No. 2 replaces descending lot quantity with ascending quoted price per unit as the allocation sequence — so a bidder that is L1 across several circles can have its highest-priced win displaced once the 20,000-consumer cap is reached. Turnover is tested at 30% of the total value quoted, making a five-lot bid a balance-sheet decision. Nineteen of the 25 technically admitted bids arrived only after the original deadline.
8Ukwa mine tender sets quantity variation at ±20% in one document and 25% in another The technical specification says "+/- 20%"; the GeM option clause permits 25% at issue and a further 25% post-award — a five-point gap across a four-year contract committing nine LHDs, 36 face drills and nine shotcrete machines. The GeM summary also reads "Arbitration Clause: No" while clause 48 sets out a sole-arbitrator regime with Nagpur jurisdiction. Corrigendum C5 declares itself to supersede all prior buyer-added terms.

8TPCODL halved its own GCC delay penalty on a Rs 44 crore substation conversion, then extended the liability tail to a decade Tender clause 7.1.7 sets LD at 0.5% weekly on unfinished work capped at 5%; the GCC position is 1% weekly on executed value capped at 10%. In exchange, the CPBG stays alive across a 78-month architecture and a five-year latent-defect warranty starts only after the 60-month guarantee ends. Clause 2.2 states there is no guarantee on quantity of job, with release orders issued only after substation-wise joint survey. Turnover requirement: Rs 100 crore against a Rs 44 crore estimate.
8OPTCL's Rs 102.39 crore Narendrapur cable tender can't agree with itself on how many stages it has The IFB describes a "single stage two part system"; the portal field reads "Stage: Two Stages" — a distinction that changes submission and evaluation mechanics for a bidder committing Rs 1.02 crore of EMD. The document-availability window also differs: the IFB closes it 6 July, the portal 8 July at 12:00, with tender closing at 14:00 the same day. The package bundles 132 kV underground cable with bay extensions at two live substations.
8JVVNL's 37-substation RDSS tender states nine months for completion in one part and 12 in another Part 1 gives one month for survey plus eight for execution; SCC GCC 8.1 and 8.2 give three months for commencement inside a 12-month total — and the contract hierarchy puts Part 3 above Part 1. The second 30% supply payment is conditioned on commissioning "a minimum one cluster," defined by electrification of rural households, inside a package that procures 33/11 kV substations. The technical specification also refers to supervision at substations "in state of Uttar Pradesh."
8RVPN's Dholpur line tender lists a bid amount of Rs 1.00 against a Rs 94.48 crore turnover requirement The portal field is economically meaningless beside a Rs 31.49 crore liquidity threshold and a 50 km single-order 400 kV execution test. Subsidiary, associate and subcontractor credentials don't count, and JV bidding is marked not applicable. OPGW installation runs predominantly live-line, with tower structural analysis and any resulting strengthening at no additional cost to the employer, plus a 99.9% availability target requiring a seven-person certified gang, a jeep and a Tata 407.
8NTPC REL extended its 540 MW Anantapur wind tender a day after the original deadline had passed Corrigendum-2 carries a 5 August timestamp; the original bid receipt closed 4 August, and the applicable deadline now reads 17 August. A WTG manufacturer may use only one qualifying route and, under the association route, back only one bidder — multiple participation can void all affected bids. Land acquisition, ROW, the external EHV line to the ISTS substation and ten years of comprehensive O&M all sit inside contractor scope. A 540 MW quote requires Rs 714.04 crore of average annual turnover.
8MPPMCL's 625 MW storage tender now closes six days after the opening date printed in its own schedule The portal header applies 10 August for bid receipt while the NIT table still shows the tender opening event on 4 August and document procurement closing 30 July — an 11-day extension layered over legacy dates never rewritten. Corrigendum-1 and Addendum #2 have both issued. Bid security runs Rs 2.20 lakh/MW across a BOO structure with VGF support and a reverse auction at the end.
8SJVN's 265 MW Haryana storage tender shows an addendum issued and no corrigenda at the same time Addendum #1 is flagged on the tender page while the portal separately records "No Corrigenda Issued," and the clauses it supplements aren't identified anywhere at NIT level. EMD scales with capacity at Rs 2.40 lakh per MWh rather than sitting as a fixed sum, and the Rs 15 lakh processing fee plus GST applies to each project. Degradation, augmentation, availability guarantees and PBG terms all sit outside the published notice. Details
