Massive 400 kV switchyard expansion moves forward for a central utility’s 3x800 MW thermal plant
8A detailed EPC scope has been floated for a greenfield 400 kV AIS switchyard designed under the one-and-a-half breaker scheme. This expansion, part of ongoing transmission equipment tenders in India, will integrate with existing systems, handling generator evacuation and grid interfacing for a large thermal project in Bihar.
8In a key shift from past norms, the civil works price component for this large-scale thermal project has been reduced from a 61–71% range to 33–43% of the total equipment value. This sharp revision, now visible in many transmission equipment tenders in India, directly impacts bid structuring and payment retention for the contractor.
8An important technical challenge in this bid is integrating new 400 kV bays with the Stage-I switchyard’s existing GE-made busbar protection panels. As seen in similar transmission equipment tenders in India, this demands bidders ensure seamless cross-stage compatibility.
8This tender continues the central sector trend of mandating full HVAC systems for control rooms, with 2x100% redundancy in air-cooled DX units, reflecting operational expectations for temperature-controlled environments. Similar specifications are now standard in large transmission equipment tenders in India.

New 132/33 kV substation project links dual corridors across southern Bihar
8A turnkey transmission scheme has been floated to develop a 2x80 MVA grid substation with twin 132 kV lines feeding into separate substations. The dual evacuation model with over 65 Rkm of line construction signals a grid reinforcement strategy in power-deficient belts.
8The proposed scope includes GIS bay installation in an externally owned substation a rare move for the state utility. This cross-agency technical integration at 132 kV voltage class will require tight coordination and advanced protection interface design.
8The project spans an AIS-based substation, a GIS-based remote bay, and two separate lines all requiring synchronized protection schemes. This will require careful relay coordination, earthing strategy, and inter-substation communication planning.

Revised bid deadlines point to delayed tender closure for large thermal balance package
8Bid submission for this 1600 MW central-sector thermal BOP package has been extended multiple times, now closing on 6 August 2025. The series of extensions underline the typical complexity seen in thermal power plant tenders in India, reflecting this package’s scale, intricate clarifications, and evolving commercial scope.
8The entire sewage collection system for Stage-II, excluding the BTG area, is now placed under the BOP contractor’s scope. This aligns with recent trends in thermal power plant tenders in India, where comprehensive site infrastructure responsibilities are increasingly shifted to the balance contractor. Soil disposal is mandated to the ash dyke located 5 km away, tightening logistics for site execution.
8In a key shift from past norms, the civil works price component for this large-scale thermal project has been reduced from a 61–71% range to 33–43% of the total equipment value. This sharp revision will directly impact both bid structuring and payment retention for the contractor, marking a significant change in how thermal power plant tenders in India are financially framed.
8Such adjustments are likely to influence how EPC players approach thermal power plant tenders in India, as contractors recalibrate their bidding strategies in response to evolving cost structures and risk allocations.
8The scope and commercial changes seen here may set a new precedent for future thermal power plant tenders in India, particularly for central-sector projects of this size and complexity. Details

8The technical bid stage has attracted only two players BHEL and Voith Hydro for the 186 MW hydro project. Both firms are bidding for supply and erection of high-head vertical Francis turbines, a standard for large hydropower projects India.
8The bid process reflects stringent eligibility criteria, focusing on prior experience in supplying hydro turbines and generators of similar capacity. This has likely limited participation to established OEMs, underlining the competitive nature of hydropower projects India.

Tunnel works for 700 MW hydel project attract mix of veterans and new entrants
8Six bidders vie for a high-altitude diversion tunnel package, with experienced hydro players competing alongside smaller infra firms. Complex Himalayan terrain and hydro-mechanical scope may test execution mettle.
8IRCON and Angelique enter the fray alongside established tunneling players, indicating wider interest in high-altitude civil hydro packages. Technical qualification outcomes may reshape market expectations.
8Unlike some earlier tunnel-only packages, this tender adds embedded parts and gate systems into civil works indicating a preference for bundled EPC delivery. Will bidders price in that risk?
8With environmental sensitivities and geological unpredictability, this package holds strategic value. Bidder selection could influence pace of downstream works, especially power house and penstock scheduling.
8A diversified bidder list hints at aggressive price plays, but execution complexity in the Northeast may tilt advantage to players with prior hydropower tunneling experience.

Revised SHAKTI 2025 Introduces Dual Coal Linkage Streams for Power Sector
8The revised SHAKTI (Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating Koyala Transparently in India) Policy, 2025 establishes two distinct channels Window I and Window II to distribute coal to the power sector. Window I offers coal at notified prices to Central and State Government-owned generating companies (GENCOs), while Window II provides linkages to all power generators through a premium-based auction mechanism. The differentiation reflects a calibrated approach to support both regulated public utilities and market-facing independent producers. Notably, Greenfield thermal plants situated near pitheads are preferred, though exemptions can be granted case-by-case.
Allocation Under Window I Prioritizes Planning Certainty and State Aggregation
8Window I is designed to streamline coal allocation through government recommendation, allowing coal linkage even for under-construction or planned power plants. Central and State GENCOs, joint ventures, and eligible IPPs with Section 62 PPAs can be nominated. States can aggregate demand and allocate coal linkage for future Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) awards. Coal linkage lapses if no successful bidder is finalized within one year. Conditions include no captive block dependency and mandatory submission of a pre-feasibility report. LoAs and FSAs follow strict timelines FSAs must be signed within 2 years of LoA issuance and coal drawal must start within 5 years, with some flexibility for delays.
Auctions Under Window II Bring Market Discipline to Coal Supply
8Window II promotes competitive procurement through short-term (half-yearly) and long/medium-term (annual) auctions, managed by coal companies via a dedicated portal. Eligibility is broader including commissioned plants, ICB plants with PPAs, and FSA holders but participants must fulfill commitments like 100% ACQ drawal and benefit pass-through. Importantly, electricity generated from linkage coal may be used for PPAs or sold on power exchanges under CERC norms, including surplus power. Coal utilization must be certified within specified timelines, and Bank Guarantees are returned upon compliance.
Operational Framework Enforces Timelines and End-Use Discipline
8Both windows have well-defined protocols for application, verification, allocation, and FSA execution. For under-construction or planning projects, commitment guarantees must be submitted within 2 months, and BTG orders placed within 2 years. Commissioned plants have a shorter 3-month window for FSA and coal drawl post-auction or linkage. Coal quantity is computed based on 100% PLF adjusted for existing linkage or captive capacity, ensuring optimal use. Across both windows, usage is strictly tied to power generation captive usage is prohibited, though surplus may enter markets. Self-certification and regulatory scrutiny reinforce end-use integrity.

Southern and Western Regions Dominate India’s Installed Power Base
8Southern and Western India continue to anchor national power infrastructure, contributing over 60% of the total 484.8 GW installed capacity. Southern India alone holds 129.8 GW, driven by a sharp rise in renewable energy uptake, especially solar. The Southern region, despite modest hydro presence, shows strong investment in solar (over 11.8 GW in the state sector) and private wind capacity (over 12.7 GW), underlining its role in India’s green energy pivot. The Western region also contributes significantly, especially through coal-heavy private players and rising central sector renewables.
Renewable Energy (RES) Now Accounts for Nearly 24% of Total Capacity
8With 116.2 GW out of 484.8 GW attributed to renewables, India’s energy mix has shifted notably. Wind power dominates the RES mix at 51.6 GW, followed by solar at 53.1 GW with private players leading this transformation. This reflects a strategic policy shift toward decarbonization, with states like Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Rajasthan emerging as RES hubs. However, regional imbalances remain stark with the Eastern and North Eastern regions contributing marginally to RES.
Central Sector’s Role Diminishes in Relative Terms
8The central sector’s share in national capacity stands at 108.5 GW (22%), with large blocks of coal and nuclear assets, but declining relative influence compared to the expanding private sector footprint (265.2 GW or 54.7%). Private sector dominance in solar, wind, and even gas assets suggests a market-driven transition. In contrast, central sector capacities are more static, with few new additions. It continues to hold strategic roles in nuclear and high-capex baseload coal generation.
Capacity Under Prolonged Outage Highlights Reliability Risks
8Around 6.5 GW of installed capacity (1.3%) is currently non-operational, including 1.99 GW of coal, 4.4 GW of gas, and 100 MW of nuclear. These assets have been temporarily removed from official counts as of May 2025. This sidelined capacity reflects systemic issues aging thermal fleets, fuel supply challenges, or economic unviability. Restoration of these assets could offer a buffer in demand surges, but chronic outages point to inefficiencies in legacy infrastructure maintenance and modernization.

Strong industry response: Over 80 bids for RESCO solar project under central subsidy scheme
 
8A 25-year solar power supply project under Component-A of a flagship government scheme has attracted significant participation, adding to the growing momentum of solar projects in India. Bidder profiles indicate interest from smaller players alongside known RESCO operators, reflecting the increasing viability of long-term grid tie-ups under decentralised solar models.
 
8The latest tender focuses on solar projects in India involving plants up to 2 MW capacity, to be located near 33/11 kV substations. Developers are required to supply power while also managing land acquisition, grid connectivity, and operations over 25 years under strict performance obligations. This structure is becoming a standard template for distributed solar projects in India.
 
8Even though individual plant size is capped at 2 MW, over 80 players have entered the technical race, highlighting a robust contractor ecosystem evolving for small-scale solar projects in India. However, the long-term viability will hinge more on land and infrastructure execution risks than on PPA assurance, a recurring theme in distributed solar projects in India.

8Bihar and Odisha plants hover between 17–35 days of coal stock, with Kahalgaon and IB Valley barely above the 10-day mark. Jharkhand, while constrained on daily requirements, reports stable inventory at Bokaro, Tenughat, and Chandrapura units.
National average coal stock stable at 25 days, but 13 plants under 10-day threshold
8While the total coal stock across all CIL-linked plants stands at 52.7 million tonnes equating to a 25-day average multiple plants such as Pathadi (8 days), Damodaram (6 days), Adani Raipur (5 days), and Rayalaseema (5 days) remain on the brink of supercriticality under CEA norms.

PUMPED STORAGE PROJECT EVACUATION SYSTEM ENABLES FLEXIBLE FUTURE CAPACITY SCALING
8The planned substation under this hydropower project tender in India includes extensive future-ready features such as space for two additional ICTs, six 765 kV line bays with switchable reactors, and multiple 400 kV expansion slots.
8Its modular design allows flexible scalability for up to 4 GW of PSP load flow, accommodating phased hydropower additions.
8While most components follow a 30-month COD target, the fourth 1500 MVA ICT at Robertsganj has a delayed commissioning timeline of December 2030 synchronized with the latest revised commissioning schedules submitted by PSP developers under ongoing hydropower project tenders in India.
8As per Amendment-IV, the bid submission deadline has now been extended from 07 July to 23 July 2025, and financial bids are expected to be opened on 04 August, reflecting growing participation interest in large-scale hydropower project tenders in India.
8The Letter of Intent (LoI) and SPV transfer processes are scheduled to conclude by 25 August 2025, concluding the award cycle of this significant hydropower project tender in India.

ROUND-THE-CLOCK RE POWER BID SCALED TO 1,000 MW WITH EMBEDDED STORAGE
8Gujarat’s central power buyer has issued an ISTS-based tender for 500MW of firm, dispatchable RE with a greenshoe option of another 500MW. Energy storage is mandatory, with delivery required in a time-matched manner.
8The bid submission deadline has shifted from 07 July 2025 to 05 August 2025. Technical bid opening is now set for 08 August 2025, with reverse auction dates to be announced later.
8The bidder must maintain 90% monthly DFR during peak hours and 80% during off-peak hours. Failure triggers penalties at 1.5 times the PPA tariff on the energy shortfall.

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

RURAL DISTRIBUTION UPGRADE TENDER SEES AWARD AT Rs. 80 CRORE
8A sub-transmission EPC package under RDSS has been awarded to a private player at Rs. 80.48 crore. The project covers 33/11 kV substations and associated 33kV line works in a Rajasthan utility, targeting voltage improvement and rural grid stability
8A rural sub-transmission EPC project under the RDSS scheme has been awarded for Rs. 80.48 crore. The scope includes new 33/11kV substations, associated 33kV lines, SCADA-ready switchgear, and civil works. The package aims to reduce technical losses and enhance voltage reliability across rural feeders in a Rajasthan DISCOM network
8Comparative analysis shows post-bid rationalization in some equipment quantities and types especially panel specs and CT/PT ratings. Adjustments reflect site realities and utility feedback.While six firms bid, two were disqualified for lack of turnkey substation execution proof and missing mandatory documentation reflecting stricter scrutiny on eligibility

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

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

RS. 75 CRORE-PLUS RURAL DISTRIBUTION UPGRADE SEES FIVE-WAY BID COMPETITION
8A large-scale capex package for a northern DISCOM’s rural zone drew five technically qualified bidders, indicating healthy interest under stable qualification norms. Competitive bidding narrowed the financial spread, with the L1 margin appearing modest
8While five bidders cleared technical evaluation, the financial bids suggest a tightly contested race. The L1 bid emerged around Rs. 77 crore, with others not far behind, hinting at margin-squeezed execution
8The majority of supply and installation items revolve around AB cable network reconfigurations and installation of 11/0.433 kV transformers a signal of focus on improving last-mile reliability Details
TRANSFORMER-HEAVY SCOPE DRAWS BIDS FROM MID-SIZED INFRA PLAYERS
8All bidders had experience in similar PSPCL and other North India utility contracts.
8The scope’s emphasis on transformer and line augmentation—without major substation works—favored firms with strong EPC back-office but light civil footprints
8The majority of supply and installation items revolve around AB cable network reconfigurations and installation of 11/0.433 kV transformers—a signal of focus on improving last-mile reliability
8None of the bidders were pan-India majors, but all had substantial state utility experience. The tight financial grouping and full technical compliance reinforce growing bench strength of mid-tier EPCs in Punjab's power segment
8The absence of pan-India EPC giants in this PSPCL tender highlights the growing maturity of regional contractors. With tight bid spreads and full technical compliance, mid-tier firms demonstrated strong execution capability and pricing discipline. This reflects a deepening bench of reliable local EPCs, increasingly trusted to handle complex, multi-district power distribution upgrades independently Details
FOURTH EXTENSION GRANTED FOR ULTRA-SUPERCRITICAL EPC BID AT CENTRAL THERMAL PROJECT
8The main EPC tender for a 1x800 MW Stage-III addition at an existing central thermal station has now been extended four times, with the latest deadline set for 14 July 2025 indicating significant bidder interest but also scope complexity. Thermal power plant updates in India continue to reflect both project ambition and contractor caution.
8A support package tender under the same 800 MW project has mirrored the EPC bid extension timeline, now also closing on 14 July. This signals coordinated evaluation and award plans across packages, aligning with broader thermal power plant updates in India where synchronized tendering is gaining traction.
8Commercial Amendment-2 allows bidders to meet provenness using third-party domain experts, but only if a formal agreement (Form 13B) is signed potentially expanding participation but increasing documentation workload. Such evolving qualification mechanisms are now common in thermal power plant updates in India, especially for large-scale EPC bids.
8As thermal power plant updates in India increasingly feature ultra-supercritical capacities and multi-package structuring, bid timelines and participation frameworks are undergoing greater scrutiny and adaptation. Details
SUBSTATION TO FEATURE DUAL VOLTAGE GIS BAYS AND TWO 100 MVA TRANSFORMERS
8The layout includes indoor 220 kV and 33 kV GIS switchgear, two 100 MVA power transformers, and space for one future transformer, supporting enhanced power distribution flexibility in the region.
8The scope includes two 21.744 MVAR, 33 kV capacitor banks one per 100 MVA transformer indicating a focus on power factor correction and improved voltage control at the substation.

FEEDER-LINKED SEGMENTATION ENABLES DISTRICT-WISE EXECUTION UNDER UNIFORM SPECS.
8 While work is segmented across districts like Pali, Sirohi, Barmer, and Jalore, the technical specs, scope design, and contractual obligations remain consistent—enabling scale with regional granularity. 
8The bid submission deadline was extended twice from the original 26 June to 3 July and then again to 9 July. The extensions reflect a high bidder interest and complex technical documentation needing more response time.
8Amendments issued under certain packages allow technically capable but less experienced firms to participate, subject to meeting baseline criteria

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

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

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

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

Proposal clears way for transformation capacity boost at Rajasthan ISTS node
8CERC has issued a public notice for amending the RTM transmission licence to allow augmentation of the Bikaner-II substation with a 500 MVA, 400/220 kV ICT. This aims to enhance inter-state transfer capacity in Western Rajasthan under the Regulated Tariff Mechanism (RTM) framework.
18-month execution timeline confirmed for new 500 MVA ICT at Bikaner-II
8The planned transformer augmentation at the 400/220 kV Bikaner-II pooling station includes one 500 MVA ICT and associated bays, with a clear commissioning deadline of 20 January 2026. Execution is to be completed within 18 months from CTUIL's investment approval.
CERC seeks public feedback before granting final transmission licence amendment
8In line with Section 15 of the Electricity Act, stakeholders have been given until 15 July 2025 to submit objections or suggestions to CERC before the proposed licence amendment is finalized. The next hearing is scheduled for 17 July 2025.
Scope includes bay works and bus extension beyond ICT installation
8Apart from the 500 MVA transformer, the package includes a 400 kV ICT bay, 220 kV ICT bay, tie bay, and 400 kV bus extension for two diameters, indicating a comprehensive node-level augmentation effort at the pooling station.
Estimated project cost pegged at Rs. 50.71 crore under RTM mode
8The augmentation will be executed under the RTM model, with a total estimated cost of Rs. 50.71 crore. This regulated investment will allow cost recovery via approved transmission charges once the asset is commissioned and declared available.
POWERGRID's SPV continues to anchor regional capacity expansions
8The licence amendment pertains to the POWERGRID Bikaner Transmission System Limited indicating the use of a project-specific SPV structure for regulated capacity upgrades, in line with established RTM licensing patterns for inter-State systems.

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

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

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

Massive net outflow of over Rs. 6 crore from SCED generators in May
8The cumulative net balance across AGBPP, AGTCCPP, and BGTPP for May 2025 reflects a combined receivable of Rs. 64.39 crore by the National SCED Pool, indicating sustained downward scheduling driven by economic dispatch dynamics.
BGTPP faces the steepest net deduction under SCED in May
8NTPC’s BGTPP alone saw a net outflow of Rs. 58.02 crore, with nearly 19,500 MWh of scheduled downward revision. Despite some upward dispatch (~4,614 MWh), the plant consistently faced reduced dispatch priority due to higher variable cost (VC) of 390.4 paisa/unit.
AGBPP and AGTCCPP combined see over Rs. 6 crore receivables under SCED
8NEEPCO’s AGBPP and AGTCCPP plants recorded downward scheduling over most days. The net payables from these two units combined reached Rs. 6.04 crore in May. AGTCCPP bore the bigger brunt with Rs. 2.26 crore, while AGBPP accounted for Rs. 3.77 crore in net loss.
Upward scheduling was minimal barely 15% of total MWh movement
8For BGTPP, only 4,614 MWh of upward movement was approved, compared to 19,497 MWh in downward revisions. The share of upward dispatch was low across all SCED-participating generators, confirming CERC’s economic merit order enforcement under SCED.
Variable cost disparities drove the merit order shift
8With variable costs ranging from 388.60 to 492.50 paisa/unit, plants with lower VC were favored for upward scheduling. BGTPP, despite its scale, faced a sustained pullback due to its VC (390.40 paisa/unit) being higher than other regional alternatives.
Consistent down-dispatch reflects demand flattening or cheaper alternatives
8All three SCED generators in the North East BGTPP, AGTCCPP, and AGBPP recorded downward revisions on more than 20 out of 31 days. This trend indicates not just surplus capacity, but also increasing reliance on more economical or renewable options.

Thermal generation trails targets despite strong YoY growth
8Thermal generation clocked 108.64 BU in June 2025 up 20.1% YoY but still fell short of the month’s program by 16.6%. Despite this shortfall, the April–June period ended with 85.86% program achievement, indicating broad underperformance versus planned scheduling.
Hydro output races ahead of plan by 16.7% in June
8Hydro plants generated 16.59 BU in June, outperforming their monthly target by a significant 16.75%. This follows a similar trend in the April–June quarter, which saw 6.4% overachievement hinting at strong monsoonal inflow patterns or opportunistic dispatch.
Nuclear sector maintains high scheduling fidelity
8Nuclear gement, highlighting its stable and predictable base-load contribution.
Bhutan imports spike 127% YoY in June
8Power imports from Bhutan surged to 1.18 BU in June 2025 up 127% over June last year. The imports also overshot the planned target by 27%, suggesting greater seasonal reliance on bilateral hydro inflows or contractual ramp-ups.
National PLF hits 80% for coal/lignite but gas plants excluded
8All-India thermal PLF rose to 80.06% in June for coal/lignite stations, up from 74.82% in June 2024. However, the report omits gas- and liquid-based stations from this calculation, potentially overstating PLF gains in the full thermal fleet.
Overall generation lags target by 6.4% in Q1 FY26
8Cumulative April–June 2025 generation reached 397.75 BU, falling short of the 453.11 BU target by 12.2%. While YoY output grew nearly 7%, this gap highlights scheduling inefficiencies or under-dispatch, particularly from thermal sources.

Rajasthan retains dual allocations totalling 635 MW through UA pool and specific grants
8For July–September 2025, Rajasthan continues to receive 335 MW under standard UA pool (15% share) and an additional 300 MW via specific allocation, both extended till September. This dual channel inflow underscores the state’s priority status in NR’s peak summer strategy.
Uttar Pradesh excluded from UA pool despite 135 MW injected via specific grants
8Despite having no percentage-based allocation in the Northern Region UA pool, Uttar Pradesh receives 135 MW through three separate specific allocations 50, 85, and a legacy Bundelkhand-linked 300 MW reassigned to Rajasthan. This bypass highlights UP’s reliance on directed transfers over regional pooling.
Punjab secures 20% UA share plus 37 MW from bundling, second highest net beneficiary
8Punjab maintains a strong 20% slice of the 1758 MW UA pool and gains another 37 MW through bundled solar-thermal allocations, pushing its total well above 390 MW. The state’s net entitlements are among the most diversified in NR allocations this summer.
Himachal Pradesh fully excluded from pooled UA quota, survives on 15 MW bundling
8For the third straight month, Himachal Pradesh gets 0% in the unallocated percentage-based sharing. Its only inflow comes from a fixed 15 MW bundling arrangement with Singrauli Solar-linked plants indicating minimal summer reliance on regional UA power.
J&K maintains steady 10% share plus 40 MW of tied allocation from RAPS-C and Uri-II
8The UT of Jammu & Kashmir retains a 10% share in NR’s UA pool (175 MW), supplemented by 40 MW from two specific stations. This dual-source allocation, though modest, marks one of the few stable and consistent NR power flows over the last two quarters.
NDMC holds separate 9% quota despite Delhi’s own 8% UA allocation
8NDMC continues to get a standalone 9% of the NR UA pool (158 MW), in addition to Delhi’s 8% (140 MW). This rare bifurcation underlines the administrative and load profile segmentation in the capital region’s power planning matrix.

APTEL strikes down RERC order on Rs. 1.08 crore compensation in power shortfall case
8The Tribunal ruled that Rajasthan Discoms' 2014 compensation claim against an inter-state trader was time-barred.
8The shortfall occurred in 2011, but no valid acknowledgment reset the limitation clock—rendering the Commission’s 2016 award legally untenable.
APTEL raps CSERC for decade-long delay in voltage-wise cost compliance
8Despite repeated directives since 2013, Chhattisgarh's regulator failed to enforce voltage-wise cost studies, continuing with average CoS methodology.
8APTEL has now ordered compulsory shift to VCoS using the Tata Steel framework until updated studies are complete.
220 kV captive user wrongly charged for 15.37% losses, APTEL intervenes
8Usha Martin, a grid-connected 220 kV captive consumer, was subjected to ACoS-based retail tariffs including 15.37% system losses.
8APTEL ruled this as unjust, emphasizing that VCoS must be applied to prevent penalizing high-voltage consumers.

GMR-JITPL bay shift proposal faces angular snags at Angul
8A proposed bay reallocation at 765 kV Angul substation to improve power evacuation from two IPPs faces roadblocks due to a >60° tower deviation and tight corridor. GMR and JITPL must now jointly re-evaluate engineering feasibility before cost-sharing talks proceed. The 53rd CCM advanced discussions from the 52nd meeting regarding alternate evacuation for GMR and JITPL. While technical consensus was reached on shifting GMR-1 to bay 421 and transferring ownership between parties, Powergrid Odisha’s feasibility study flagged a key obstacle an acute tower deviation angle (>60°) and lack of corridor space for an extra tower. The matter has now escalated to site-level revalidation, with ERLDC, GMR, JITPL, and Powergrid expected to co-study options before any commercial terms can be settled.
Rangpo SAS upgrade gets tentative greenlight, pending 60 lakh finalization
8The outdated IEC-101-based SCADA at 400 kV Rangpo will be modernized with IEC-104 protocol. The 52nd CCM cleared a Rs. 60 lakh cost plan, driven by CERC’s IT asset life norms and aging hardware-induced data glitches. Powergrid ER-II’s push to replace the 10-year-old Substation Automation System (SAS) at Rangpo was endorsed in the 52nd CCM and carried forward in the 53rd TCC. The existing SAS lacks modern protocols and causes communication lags with RLDC. The upgrade, although not bundled with the SAS-Y package commercially, will be aligned with ERBS-II. Cost negotiations are ongoing, but committee consensus was secured on a tentative Rs. 60 lakh outlay (ex-GST), based on CERC's 7-year IT asset life cycle.
SAS kit from Durgapur to be repurposed for Rajarhat lab use
8Siemens-supplied SAS intended for Durgapur S/S will now be relocated to Powergrid’s Rajarhat lab as a training and standby asset. This follows a complete substation revamp under ADDCAP 2024–29. The 52nd CCM ratified the repurposing of an unused SAS set meant for Durgapur into a live-test spare for Siemens systems at Rajarhat. The Durgapur substation, deemed too old for partial upgrades, is now being fully automated under the 2024–29 ADDCAP cycle. Instead of scrapping the SAS hardware, it will now serve as a real-time lab unit for testing and training. A Rs. 45 lakh provisioning (excluding erection) was accepted.
AMR cybersecurity costs rise with four-cycle VAPT compliance
8ERLDC’s AMR system will now undergo bi-annual VA/PT testing by CERT-In vendors, at Rs. 2.6 lakh for four cycles. This comes after a June-2023 system refresh and stricter cybersecurity mandates. The 52nd CCM introduced a new cybersecurity obligation for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) systems, with Powergrid ER-II proposing a Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) plan. The Rs. 2.6 lakh cost covers both hardware and application testing for four cycles through March 2026. This move aligns with post-audit compliance norms for isolated LAN-based setups that are now scaling in complexity due to expanded meter types and data formats.
Intra-state DSM mechanism urged as Odisha flags CPP-induced volatility
8Odisha SLDC flagged market-driven deviations by CPPs during solar hours, which result in major DSM penalties. With West Bengal as the only state in ER with intra-state DSM norms, other states are now being nudged toward regulatory action. At the 53rd CCM, Odisha raised serious concerns about cost volatility due to captive power producers (CPPs) bulk-buying from RTM during low-cost solar hours destabilizing state schedules and raising DSM penalties. Unlike Odisha, West Bengal has implemented intra-state DSM rules, minimizing such risks. Member Secretary advised other ER states to develop similar mechanisms and fairly distribute DSM penalties among intra-state entities.
Partial outage data to be formally standardized for DSM by July
8After back-to-back requests from NTPC and BRBCL, the 53rd CCM agreed to create a standard format to incorporate partial outages in DSM accounts applicable from July 2025 onwards, pending timely data. Both meetings saw persistent follow-ups from NTPC and BRBCL urging incorporation of partial outage data into DSM calculations, per CERC’s August 2024 regulation. While ERPC admitted to receiving raw data, concerns around granularity especially for multi-unit stations delayed formal accounting. A new standard format will now capture pre- and post-outage blocks for accurate DSM reconciliation, starting with July 2025 settlements if procedural timelines are met.
NTPC flags tech-minimum violations as solar-hour market drift deepens
8NTPC highlighted cases where DISCOMs slashed schedules post-1430 hrs D-1, pushing units below technical minimums and incurring DSM losses. The CCM resolved to improve scheduling software and beneficiary compliance. In both 52nd and 53rd CCMs, NTPC raised repeated complaints about beneficiaries opting for market power during solar hours instead of drawing their entitled share. As a result, their thermal units were forced below technical minimums, despite needing to ramp up for evening peaks. Scheduling software deficiencies and lack of SCUC/SCED support were blamed. Member Secretary confirmed that software patches were being developed and also advised stronger adherence to technical minimum obligations under IEGC 2023.

Power exchange volumes rise 8.2%, but DAM share slips below 50%
8Power exchange trade surged to 92 BU in FY 2023–24, up from 85 BU last year, driven by higher volumes in RTM and GDAM. However, the Day-Ahead Market's share dipped to 47.5% its lowest in five years indicating a structural shift toward faster, flexible markets.
RTM and GDAM gain ground as dispatch flexibility dominates
8Real-Time Market (RTM) volumes rose 21.5% YoY to 24.7 BU, while Green DAM nearly doubled to 4.4 BU. These trends reflect rising demand for dispatchable green power and intraday flexibility, especially among states with tight evening ramps.
Price volatility intensifies in DAM: MCP hit Rs. 8.19/unit in March peak
8DAM prices spiked sharply during March 2024, reaching up to Rs. 8.19/unit due to pre-summer demand and constrained supply. The FY average DAM price stood at Rs. 5.46/unit, up from Rs. 4.61/unit in FY 2022–23 signaling tight grid conditions during stress periods.
Transmission congestion forces Rs. 1,900 crore in curtailments
8Congestion-induced volume curtailments amounted to 3.7 BU across exchanges, triggering an estimated Rs. 1,900 crore in opportunity loss. While WR–NR and SR–WR corridors remained major bottlenecks, March alone saw 1.2 BU of constrained trade highlighting capacity shortfalls.
New entrants shake up seller rankings as NTPC slips to third
8NHPC and SJVN topped the seller charts this year, overtaking NTPC in total exchange volumes. Among buyers, Gujarat retained its lead with 17.6 BU, followed by Maharashtra and Delhi. Sizable shifts hint at evolving hedging and procurement strategies across utilities.
IEX retains 90% market share, but competition intensifies
8IEX commanded 90.3% of total exchange volume, but Hindustan Power Exchange (HPX) expanded its share to 9.4% with aggressive pricing and onboarding. Price convergence across platforms improved, yet IEX premiums persisted in GDAM and RTM, raising questions on liquidity dynamics.

Wide-scale polymer insulator retrofits target vulnerable corridors
8A sweeping series of shutdowns across 132 kV and 400 kV lines including Misa–Mariani, Jiribam–Tipaimukh, and Silchar corridors signals a strategic replacement of porcelain insulators with composite polymer rods. These upgrades focus on river crossings and deep valley sections highly prone to flashovers during monsoons.
Numerical relay retrofits advance LBB protection reform at Balipara
8The 400 kV Balipara node sees recurring shutdowns of Misa and BNC lines for overhauls in its Local Breaker Backup (LBB) relay scheme. The upgrade from electromechanical to numerical relays aims to reduce misoperations during single-phase faults marking a shift toward smarter substation protection.
Shutdown clustering at Bongaigaon SS raises synchrony risks
8Six bays at the Bongaigaon 400 kV switchyard are scheduled for simultaneous AMP shutdowns. While all are tagged “normal maintenance,” the dense clustering without backup element outages is a reliability challenge in case of emergency switching, especially with tight northeast load margins.
Inter-regional HVDC link shutdown flags congestion risk
8Both poles of the 800 kV Agra–BNC HVDC line are down for jumper clearance and earth wire correction at high-risk RoW areas. This dual-pole shutdown, even if approved with NLDC coordination, could throttle inter-regional flow flexibility if coinciding with load spikes or generation outages in the north-east.
SAMAST metering rollout extends to last-mile 132 kV feeders
8Dedicated shutdown slots have been booked for energy meter installation at Srikona–Silchar, Panchgram, and Karimganj lines. These are in compliance with SAMAST grid discipline protocols, reflecting a drive toward greater feeder-level visibility, particularly in Assam and Tripura’s 132 kV network.
OTPC Palatana module overhaul tightens northeast’s generation cushion
8Shutdowns of Palatana Module-2, STG-2, GTG-2, and ICT bays point to a comprehensive planned maintenance and gas path inspection exercise. Given Palatana’s role in Bangladesh exports and regional load support, these shutdowns could reduce available margins unless carefully staggered.

All-India demand-supply balance holds steady at 0.0% deficit
 
8India recorded 147,948 MU of demand in May 2025, with 147,892 MU supplied yielding a negligible shortfall of just 56 MU (0.0%). The April–May cumulative gap also stayed flat at 109 MU over 296,014 MU required, reflecting high grid stability across regions.
 Southern and western grids record zero energy deficit across states
 
8Every state in both southern and western regions including heavyweights like Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Gujarat reported 0% energy deficit in May. This consistency reflects robust scheduling and demand forecasting, despite surging temperatures.
 North-eastern states maintain flawless supply but small island grids falter
 
8The North-Eastern Region posted perfect demand–supply parity, with not a single unit of unmet demand. In contrast, Andaman & Nicobar and Puducherry registered deficits up to 3.2%, highlighting persistent logistical and infrastructure challenges in island territories.
 Northern region delivers 47,034 MU with just 0.1% deficit
 
8The northern grid (covering 9 states and UTs) maintained excellent reliability, with only 27 MU of unmet energy translating to a 0.1% shortfall. Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chandigarh showed full supply, while Haryana and Himachal reported marginal gaps.
 Western region leads with 96,298 MU supplied, lowest net deviation
 
8Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh powered a 96,301 MU demand with near-perfect supply in May. The western region’s 0.0% gap shows its top performance among national zones, aided by consistent base load availability.
 Eastern region’s gap shrinks to 0.1% despite West Bengal slippage
 
8Although the Eastern Region reported only a 26 MU deficit (0.1%), West Bengal alone contributed 18 MU to that shortfall indicating pressure on state-level systems even when regional supply seems strong. Sikkim, Odisha, and Bihar posted near-flawless reliability.

SWITCHYARD PACKAGE DEADLINE EXTENDED AGAIN FOR 3×800 MW CENTRAL THERMAL PROJECT
8Bid submission for the high-voltage switchyard package has been pushed from July 3 to July 17, with opening deferred to July 18. This is the third official extension, hinting at bidder caution or scope complexities.
8Amendment 02 mandates a sealed, annexure-based provenness process with end-user certificates, equity validation, and OEM support letters. All documents must be uploaded via DREAMS and certified under bidder seal. With 8NTPC withdrawing direct verification, qualification risk now rests entirely on the EPC bidder—raising both bid prep costs and exclusion risks.
8Clarifications specify that final fencing, graveling, and PCC works will be defined during detailed engineering, yet bidders must quote for the entire demarcated area—raising estimation risks.
8Under the revised protocol, NTPC will rely solely on documents submitted by bidders—without any back-end checks from OEMs, licensors, or holding companies. Legal and technical risk rests with EPC bidder.

SINGLE BIDDER WALKS AWAY WITH FULL 1000 KW ROOFTOP SOLAR PACKAGE
8In this limited SECI tender for a central institution’s rooftop RESCO project, the entire awarded capacity was bagged by one bidder quoting Rs. 4.60/kWh. The second bidder, despite quoting the same capacity, was edged out on tariff. SECI issued a limited RfS under RESCO mode for a 1000 kW rooftop solar project at SVPNPA, Hyderabad, restricted to vendors empanelled in Rounds 1 and 2.
8Only two bids were received—SPRM Energy and GK Energy—each quoting for the full 1000 kW capacity, resulting in a total bid volume of 2000 kW.
8SPRM Energy emerged as the L1 bidder with a tariff of Rs. 4.60/kWh, winning the entire 1000 kW capacity as per Clause 37 of the RfS.
8GK Energy, despite quoting for the full capacity, was not selected due to quoting a higher tariff of Rs. 4.75/kWh.
8The Rs. 0.15/kWh tariff spread between L1 and L2 indicates highly competitive pricing even within a restricted vendor pool.
8No capacity was split or reallocated, and SECI adhered strictly to the lowest tariff selection rule without extending counteroffers.
8This case highlights the price sensitivity and narrow margins characteristic of Indian solar tenders, especially for rooftop RESCO projects. Even in Indian solar tenders limited to empanelled vendors, tariff competitiveness remains high. As Indian solar tenders continue to grow in scale and frequency, single-bidder wins like this illustrate the critical role of pricing strategy. Projects like this underscore how Indian solar tenders are increasingly being shaped by tariff precision over volume ambition.

8Unlike earlier 800 MW NDCT projects, the Korba tender explicitly specifies FRP staircases and walkways at the hot water level.
8Structural integrity and operator safety are being prioritised via material upgrades, raising both cost and durability benchmarks. Details
JSW SECURES 125 MW STANDALONE BESS PROJECT AT RS. 4.41 LAKH/MW/MONTH
8JSW Neo Energy emerged as the winning bidder in a fiercely contested SECI-led auction for a standalone battery storage system in Kerala. The awarded tariff signals growing competitiveness in VGF-backed energy storage procurement.
8Despite participation from seven firms, only one—JSW—secured the entire 125 MW/500 MWh allocation. Other shortlisted bidders, including large RE players, failed to match the L1 pricing in the e-RA stage.

550MW AWARDED IN 1000MW SOLAR-ISTS TENDER UNDER SECI’S EIGHTEENTH TRANCHE
8The latest central solar auction saw partial capacity allocation to just two developers. ReNew and ACME secured the bulk of the 800 MW awarded, while top-tier players were priced out during the e-reverse auction.
8SECI’s eighteenth ISTS solar tender awarded only 800 MW out of the 1000 MW capacity on offer, with two developers—ReNew and ACME—clinching 550 MW through e-reverse auction at tariffs as low as Rs. 3.04/kWh.
8Major players like Adani and Avaada were filtered out due to L1+Rs. 0.10/kWh shortlisting norms.

ONLY 1930MW AWARDED IN 2000MW SOLAR–STORAGE TENDER
8Despite a 2000 MW target, the central agency chose to award only 1930 MW. The decision signals a quality-over-quantity mindset, possibly rejecting bids near ceiling tariff, and affirms SECI’s commercial gatekeeping for hybrid assets with battery storage.
8SECI’s 2000 MW solar-plus-ESS tender awarded 1930 MW to five bidders, including NTPC and Hero, all quoting Rs. 3.52–3.53/kWh. Major players like ReNew and Avaada were disqualified post-tech clearance due to a new L1+Rs. 0.10/kWh cutoff. The filter sharply narrowed competition, making tariff eligibility the main exclusion criterion.
8The scope mandates a 2-hour (4000 MWh) energy storage addition across 2000 MW solar capacity. Developers must guarantee daily cycling and maintain 85% round-trip efficiency, aligning with global hybrid benchmarks but demanding high CapEx planning. Details
BID BOND NORMS RELAXED IN NAGPUR AIS SUBSTATION PACKAGE
8For this 400/220/132 kV AIS intra-state transmission project under Maharashtra STU, bidders can now submit bid security via insurance surety bonds or Payment on Order Instruments, in addition to bank guarantees. This significantly expands financial flexibility, aligning with recent reforms in large TBCB projects.
8The 400 kV Umred substation package now allows Contract Performance Guarantee through bank guarantees, insurance bonds, or instruments from PFC/IREDA/REC. This is among the first state-level TBCB tenders in Maharashtra to adopt the Payment on Order model.
8Amendment-I includes three new annexures (14A, 14B, 15A, 15B) detailing formats for insurance bonds and Payment on Order Instruments. These now form a critical part of the bidding compliance checklist for this Nagpur-based intra-state scheme.
8Six LILO interventions at 400 kV, 220 kV, and 132 kV levels make this substation project interface-intensive. EPC bidders must match conductor and OPGW specs with existing lines, adding to integration risk.

BID SECURITY NORMS LIBERALIZED FOR NAGPUR AIS SUBSTATION PACKAGE
8The TBCB bid for a 400/220/132 kV AIS package in Maharashtra now allows bid bonds via insurance surety or payment-on-order instruments, alongside traditional bank guarantees. This expands financing flexibility for bidders under Clause 2.11.
8The design includes space for an extra 300 MVA ICT and associated bays, enabling expansion without major shutdowns. This modular planning echoes recent load-growth-centric strategies in Maharashtra’s intra-state grid
8The AIS substation project involves multiple 132 kV and 220 kV LILO and D/C line terminations, extending to Warora, Buttibori, Nagbhid, Kolari, Bhandara, and Mouda—serving as a strategic load-growth anchor.

MEKHALI 400?KV SUBSTATION TENDER CAPS PROTECTION SCOPE UNDER REVISED TSA CLAUSE
8Amendment IV restricts the applicability of change-in-law events to those that affect costs or savings. This clause now aligns with recent practice in large TBCB projects and may influence bid premiums.
8This intra-state project features 2x500 MVA transformers, dual 400 kV D/C lines and multiple 220 kV feeders, targeting RE integration and load growth. Design includes future expansion scope at 400 kV and 220 kV levels.
8The Mekhali substation and associated transmission lines aim to decongest the 400/220 kV Narendra node, ensuring reliable evacuation of wind, solar, and co-gen capacity across Belagavi and Bagalkot.

Details
PROJECTS IN WIND ZONES ALLOWED IF GRID CAPACITY REMAINS UNUSED
8Solar units may be installed in existing wind farm sites, using the same pooling substation — subject to unused transmission capacity and GETCO/CTU concurrence. This may unlock stranded wind-linked infra.
8Corrigendum-2 extends the bid deadline to 4 July 2025 (online) and 7 July 2025 (offline). Technical bid opening now scheduled for 8 July. Financial bid and e-RA dates will be communicated later.
8The tender squarely puts the onus on developers to secure timely transmission access. Any delay in connectivity, even if outside developer control, won’t attract deemed generation benefits.

CHANGE IN LAW CLAUSE REVISED TO ALLOW TARIFF IMPACT POST-BID DEADLINE
8The latest amendment to this 400 kV intra-state substation package introduces a critical tweak: only post-bid changes in law that affect TSP’s cost or savings will now qualify for compensation under TSA. This risk-sharing clause could influence bid aggressiveness and lender appetite.
8Two sets of 400 kV LILOs are planned: one terminating at the Hampapura substation and another extending connectivity to a new 765/400 kV node under ISTS. This setup boosts redundancy and links intra-state flows with central transmission systems.
8The tender assures that deemed license powers under Section 164 will be granted within 45 days of application, allowing the TSP to access statutory RoW and streamline line execution without prolonged clearances.

Details
DUAL VOLTAGE INTEGRATION PUSHES SCOPE BEYOND STANDARD AUGMENTATION NORMS
8The inclusion of 400 kV and 765 kV equipment with integrated control and protection systems, SCADA readiness, and remote bay control reflects higher operational granularity than older augmentation packages.
8With Srikakulam acting as the GIS endpoint for this inter-regional corridor, its expansion with new high-voltage bays plays a pivotal role in strengthening southern grid inflows.
8Execution demands both open-air AIS erection at Angul and gas-insulated modular construction at Srikakulam, requiring a diversified engineering and manpower skill set.

14 UNALLOCATED 50?MW PLOTS UP FOR GRABS IN 700?MW GUJARAT SOLAR PARK TENDER
8GUVNL has carved out 14×50 MW slots in the Dholera Solar Park for this 700 MW package. Plots P1–P4, P8, and P9 are already awarded under earlier phases. Plot allocation in the new round will be based strictly on e-reverse auction ranking.
8The latest re-tender for solar projects in Gujarat’s Dholera park revives the earlier 700 MW allotment from Phase IX. Unlike the scrapped round, there is no ceiling tariff, opening scope for more aggressive bids. The previous auction was annulled after GERC noted lower tariffs in non-park tenders—an ongoing trend shaping Indian solar tenders.
8GUVNL will compensate developers for generation loss beyond delivery point due to transmission constraints, using average CUF norms. However, no payment is due if the plant is ready before SCOD but grid isn’t. Backdown compensation also clearly defined—a clause becoming increasingly standard in high-stakes Indian solar tenders. With improved clarity on commercial risks and no tariff cap, this 700 MW Dholera round could reset price expectations for Indian solar tenders in government-developed parks.
Details
BYPASS PLAN TO REROUTE SASAN–VINDHYACHAL LINE TOWARD PRAYAGRAJ
8The scope includes forming a new 765 kV Sasan–Prayagraj D/C link by bypassing both circuits of the Vindhyachal Pool–Sasan line. This reconfiguration is central to relieving NR-WR interface stress during N-1 contingency.
8The package features LILO of two critical 765 kV S/C corridors—Fatehpur–Sasaram and Fatehpur–Varanasi—into the upcoming Prayagraj substation. This dual redirection is key to balancing inter-regional power swings.
8The transmission SPV under incorporation is now officially named Vindhyachal Varanasi Transmission Limited, per Amendment No. 3. This legal clarity sets the stage for acquisition by the successful bidder post-bidding.
8The package features LILO of two critical 765 kV S/C corridors—Fatehpur–Sasaram and Fatehpur–Varanasi—into the upcoming Prayagraj substation. This dual redirection is key to balancing inter-regional power swings.

DUAL ICT AUGMENTATION DRIVES GIS SUBSTATION EXPANSION ACROSS TWO MAJOR LOAD CENTERS
8This 400kV GIS package covers 1x500 MVA ICT additions at key substations in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, targeting transformation upgrades in dense urban networks. The scope includes high-voltage switchgear, control, and relay panels integrated under compressed timelines.
8A key element of this GIS tender is a dedicated 400 kV sectionalization bay to interconnect split 400 kV sections at a critical 765/400 kV station. Designed to mitigate contingency risks, this bay must be delivered within 14 months—faster than the 20-month window for other nodes. The 500 MVA ICTs under this package will use oil-to-SF6 bushings, requiring hybrid insulation interfaces. The substation extensions will also integrate associated protection, control, relay panels, bus ducts, and interconnection works.
8With its tight execution timelines and emphasis on hybrid insulation, this tender exemplifies the growing complexity of transmission equipment tenders India. The inclusion of sectionalization bays and SF6 interfaces underscores evolving engineering benchmarks across transmission equipment tenders India, particularly in high-load metro zones. The project will likely attract OEM-aligned bidders familiar with fast-track transmission equipment tenders India under urban GIS deployment norms.

Renewable capacity soars past 6.8 GW in just two months of FY26
8India added 6,874 MW of renewable capacity in April–May 2025 more than double the 3,007 MW added in the same period last year. This 128.59% year-on-year jump signals rapid acceleration, driven by utility-scale solar and wind pipelines coming online under central and state policies.
Conventional power generation contracts even as total demand grows
8Despite higher total generation demand, conventional (thermal + large hydro + nuclear) power generation fell 8.22% year-on-year in May 2025. Solar and wind uptake offset this drop, with renewable generation rising over 18% showing a structural shift in grid sourcing.
Thermal PLF slumps across all sectors, dragging all-India average below 68%
8All-India thermal PLF (excluding gas) dropped sharply to 67.93% in May 2025, down from 76.40% a year ago. The decline spanned central, state, and private sectors, pointing to both subdued dispatch and creeping oversupply from renewables during off-peak hours.
Peak shortages reappear in South despite all-India surplus status
8While India reported no peak demand shortfall in most regions, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry together recorded unmet demand of 28 MW in May 2025. This highlights persistent local bottlenecks in load balancing, despite national adequacy in energy and peak availability.
Capacity addition in May hits 2,292 MW, nearly all from renewables
8India added 2,292 MW of generating capacity in May 2025 but none from thermal or nuclear sources. Over 1,900 MW came from renewable sources, underlining developers’ strong alignment with green capacity targets despite funding and evacuation hurdles.
Transmission and transformation capacity addition rebounds after dry spell
8Transmission line additions climbed to 262 ckm in May 2025 up from zero in the same month last year while substation capacity jumped 1,450 MVA. This rebound suggests improved execution on long-pending lines and power evacuation infra aligned with renewable build-out.

Central India’s coal resilience: UCHPINDA tops stock chart with 92 days reserve
8UCHPINDA TPP in Chhattisgarh reports the highest coal buffer in the country at 92 days more than triple the national average of 25 days. This contrasts sharply with five other Chhattisgarh plants holding less than 15 days’ worth of coal, indicating uneven resilience within the same state.
Western region sees wide divergence: From near-zero to 73-day stock spans
8While Adani’s Raipur plant holds barely 5 days of coal, Wardha Warora TPS maintains a robust 73-day buffer. The Western region shows sharp disparities, with Maharashtra alone reporting both zero stock (Butibori TPS) and excessive reserve at several others highlighting critical intra-state coal logistics mismatches.
UP and MP power stations show surprising stability despite heavy drawals
8Despite housing 21 major thermal plants, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh show relatively stable coal buffers. Stations like Khambarkhera and Kundarki each hold over 65 days of stock, even with higher-than-average consumption, suggesting strong linkage performance and disciplined procurement.
Southern grid coal dynamics mixed: Karnataka leads with uniform stocks
8Karnataka plants like Kudgi and Bellary average 28–31 days of stock, providing a uniform safety net across the state. In contrast, Andhra’s Rayalaseema TPS teeters at just 3 days despite recent over-supply exposing volatility in coal receipt patterns even within well-connected southern networks.
Imports still minimal: Indigenous coal dominates despite coastal proximity
8Of the 141 plants listed, only a handful like Gujarat’s Sabarmati and Maharashtra’s Bhusawal and Chandrapur show substantial import reliance. Even coastal stations like Vizag or Tuticorin run almost entirely on indigenous coal, reaffirming Coal India’s primacy despite past diversification pushes.
Criticality mask: Plants with low stocks escape 'critical' tag under revised norms
8Several plants like Adani Tirora (2 days), Ghatampur (6 days), and Binjkote (6 days) report dangerously low coal days but are not flagged as critical. Revised monitoring norms since 2017 allow such cases based on operational context, including temporary shutdowns or recent high supply materialization.
