Market Round-up

Jan 09: 1) Evening DAM hit the cap in back-to-back hours
8Market clearing price reached Rs 10.00/kWh in Hour 19–20 (08-01-2026).
Inference: Sell bids stayed thin versus purchase bids in those hours, tightening MCV and pushing the price ceiling
Why it matters: Costlier evening procurement compresses portfolio headroom and raises retail pass-through risk in peak windows.

2) DAM daily weighted average printed near Rs 4.69/kWh
8Weighted average MCP = Rs 4.689/kWh (08-01-2026).
Inference: Day-long MCV averaged ~7.82 GWh hour-equivalent, with wide intraday dispersion but capped peaks
Why it matters: The daily print shapes short-term bilateral benchmarks and portfolio indexed clauses.

3) RTM pre-dawn prices sat in the Rs 2.05–2.72/kWh band
8Multiple T1–T4 blocks (00:00–01:00) cleared between Rs 2.05–2.72/kWh.
Inference: Healthy sell bids vs modest purchase bids in the first sessions softened MCP
Why it matters: Deep off-peak discounts enable block-shifting for portfolios able to pump/shift or run flexible loads.

4) PXIL’s IDAS kept clearing at the price cap on thin volumes
8IDAS cleared 330.75 MWh at Rs 10.00/kWh on 08-01-2026; several adjacent days also capped.
Inference: Sparse purchase bids and very light MCV concentrate trades at the ceiling
Why it matters: With DAC windows priced at the cap, portfolios face limited relief after DAM outcomes.

5) HPX RTM was effectively inactive on the day
8Zero bids, zero MCV, zero scheduled volume across HPX RTM on 08-01-2026.
Inference: No visible participation; liquidity concentrated on other venues that day
Why it matters: Fragmented liquidity can raise execution risk for participants relying on multi-exchange RTM routing.

6) Ancillary DAM at HPX cleared nothing end-to-end
8ASDAM cleared 0.00 MWh for all blocks on 08-01-2026; summary totals are zero.
Inference: No transactable bids (transmission-agnostic market, but empty stacks)
Why it matters: Absence of cleared ancillary from this venue shifts balancing reliance to other tools/markets.

7) 400 kV grid carried a heavy slate of continuous constraints
873 elements at 400 kV tagged “Continuous” and 52 at 400 kV tagged “Daily” in the outage list (08-01-2026).
Inference: Long-running outages across bays/lines/ICTs accumulate into persistent capacity frictions
Why it matters: Persistent constraints pre-condition price spikes and limit transfer corridor headroom on tight hours.

8) Forced unit outages outnumbered planned by nearly 2:1
8Forced outages = 117 entries vs Planned = 66 on 08-01-2026 (generating units).
Inference: Concentration in the B. Forced Outages section indicates short-notice derates across multiple owners
Why it matters: Elevated forced outages tighten available capacity and can amplify evening MCP sensitivity.

Grid updates

Jan 09: 1) Western region: TRAS breaks into negative territory as gas-backed flexibility vanishes
8And the grid quietly shifts the balancing burden onto SCED and RTM. The operational tension is obvious-when scheduled flexibility contracts, the grid doesn’t “feel” it immediately; it shows up later as higher corrective actions and more extreme netting (including negative totals).

2) WR SCED turns sharply more expensive in Dec
8The same handful of units dominate payouts, but one plant’s swing rewrites the month.

3) Southern grid’s stress isn’t “supply”
8It’s execution: recurring protection/frequency alarms, outage-work coordination failures, and a growing procedural choke-point on restoration. The structural tension is between faster build/maintenance cycles (highway projects, line diversions, bay mods) and slower institutional clearance pathways; the result is an “execution tax” that shows up as risk, delay, and recurring agenda reappearances.

8The real story will emerge when price meets operational risk. Details

SECI’s Radha Nesda 700 MW (AC) tender turns BOS into a seven-year balance-sheet contest

Jan 09: 8SECI has structured this 700 MW (AC) Radha Nesda BOS tender so the real fight is not just EPC price, but discounted O&M economics and long-tenor security.
8The clauses quietly convert operational acceptance into a lever that can withhold payment while still forcing the contractor to carry performance exposure into the O&M period.
8The most revealing signals are embedded not in headlines, but in how SCC rewires GCC defaults and how e-RA is engineered to prevent one-legged bidding games. Details

Contracting news signals tighter accountability as owners recalibrate risk and incentives

Jan 09: IREDA pivots to milestone-linked legal expertise through GeM
8IREDA has quietly re-engineered how it procures legal advice.
8The shift from retainers to milestone-linked delivery alters risk, incentives, and who can realistically bid.
8What looks procedural on GeM carries deeper signals for lender-side governance.

BHEL hardens EPC risk transfer in water treatment package for CSPGCL’s 2 × 660 MW Korba West project
8Water systems rarely make headlines, but they decide whether a 660 MW unit runs or trips.
8In Korba West, BHEL has quietly shifted more performance and design risk onto EPC bidders than before.
8The real impact will be visible not at bid opening, but in how margins and reliability play out years later. Details

Contracting news shows time being used as a screening tool rather than a concession

Jan 09: MPPTCL extends Morena phase-1 600 MW solar evacuation tender twice, testing bidder depth without reopening risk terms
8MPPTCL has quietly pushed the Morena phase-1 solar evacuation tender into February after two deadline extensions.
8The move expands bidder breathing room without touching scope or risk allocation.
8What it reveals about transmission EPC appetite is the real story.

BHEL stretches bid timelines four times to de-risk ash and coal systems at DVC Raghunathpur TPS phase-II
8Four extensions on a single EPC package are rarely accidental.
8In BHEL’s Raghunathpur phase-II tender, time became the quiet risk-management lever.
8What looks like delay may actually be a filter. Details

Contracting news points to sharper selectivity in advisory and execution risk

Jan 09: BHEL extends tariff petition consultancy tender twice, pushing bid deadline after 15 January
8BHEL has pushed its tariff petition consultancy tender through two successive deadline extensions.
8The move comes in a domain where regulatory precision directly translates into revenue certainty.
8The implications go well beyond a routine date change.

Aviation hub forces grid rethink as HVPNL tenders 132 kV line realignment at Hisar
8Aviation infrastructure has reached into the grid, and HVPNL’s Hisar tender shows how.
8The project shifts more than conductors — it shifts risk, interpretation, and execution responsibility.
8Who ultimately pays for that shift is not answered upfront. Details

Contracting news hints at selective capacity filtering in supercritical advisory markets

Jan 09: GSECL extends EIA-EMP consultancy tender timeline, holding scope and risk allocation firm for supercritical projects
8GSECL has extended the bid deadline for its supercritical EIA-EMP consultancy without touching scope, qualifications, or risk allocation.
8The move hints at market capacity constraints rather than promoter uncertainty.
8What this means for pricing discipline and clearance timelines is where the real story lies.

GSECL extends GeM consultant tender timeline for supercritical DPR re-validation at Gandhinagar TPS
8GSECL has quietly extended the submission window for its Gandhinagar TPS supercritical DPR re-validation tender.
8The move reshapes who can realistically compete for a technically dense advisory mandate.
8What it signals about risk, credibility, and future EPC packaging is where the real story lies. Details

Contracting news signals silent expansion of long-horizon cyber risk beyond tariff control

Jan 09: PFCCL quietly hard-codes cybersecurity risk into the Tumkur-II 2.7 GW transmission bid
8A one-line amendment in PFCCL’s Tumkur-II transmission RFP quietly changes the project’s long-term risk anatomy.
8What looks like a minor technical clarification actually shifts an open-ended compliance burden onto bidders.
8The tariff stays fixed, but the risk envelope does not.

PFCCL hard-codes cyber security risk into NERGS-III Siang Basin transmission RFP
8NERGS-III is being sold as steel and towers, but it is being priced as code and compliance.
8PFCCL’s third amendment quietly shifts cyber security from a hardware line item to a 35-year regulatory obligation.
8The real impact will surface not at bid opening, but deep into O&M cashflows. Details

HTLS reconductoring turns fiercely competitive as Advait edges out JSK and Sterlite

Jan 09: 8PTCUL’s Rishikesh–Chilla HTLS reconductoring award looks routine on paper but carries deeper pricing signals.
8The L1–L2 gap is tight for a technically complex live-line upgrade.
8What this means for margins and future HTLS bids is where the real story lies. Details

CEA updates

Jan 09: 1) India’s grid expansion accelerates in December 2025 with 9 GW equivalent substation capacity added.

2) ISTS and state utilities add 1.9 GW-equivalent transmission capacity in two months

3) PGCIL energises 765 kV Khavda–Ahmedabad link under Phase-II Part B

4) India’s transformation capacity crosses 1.4 million MVA as 400 kV additions lead December surge

5) Khavda-linked 765 kV backbones and ERSS/NRSS links drive a December commissioning spike across India’s grid
8The central system-wide tension is clear: absorb rapidly rising RE from Khavda/Rajasthan while strengthening inter-regional flows. For SLDCs and regulators, these completions signal near-term relief on congestion/curtailment and greater MOD latitude, though actual gains will hinge on ATC/TTC upgrades and protection/SCADA readiness documented elsewhere.

Rajasthan holds MOD discipline as thermal costs stabilise across NTPC and state stations

Jan 08: 8Variable costs for gas- and coal-based units moved within ±0.2 %, keeping the merit stack intact. Liquid-fuelled units such as Dadri Liq and Auriya Liq remain at the top of the cost curve (Rs. 20–26 /kWh), while NTPC’s Singrauli and Rihand continue anchoring the base at under Rs. 3 /kWh.

Market Round-up

Jan 08: 1) Morning RTM slammed into the price cap across multiple blocks
8On 2026-01-07, RTM MCP hit Rs 10.00/kWh in 17 blocks, including 07:45–08:00.
Inference: Tight morning balance as NR import constraints showed up (6 violated blocks) alongside frequency volatility the prior day, shrinking headroom exactly when RTM ramps.
Why it matters: Price-cap prints inflate imbalance risk and raise procurement costs for short portfolios during the morning ramp.

2) DAM’s weighted MCP stepped up day-over-day into 07-Jan
8DAM weighted MCP rose to Rs 4.83/kWh on 2026-01-07 from Rs 3.97/kWh on 2026-01-06 (+Rs 0.86/kWh).
Inference: Heavier cleared volumes and stronger purchase bids into 07-Jan firmed the curve versus the previous day.
Why it matters: Costlier day-ahead power tightens RTM optionality and raises landed costs for portfolios that under-scheduled.

3) All-India real-time forecast error stayed sub-1% on 06-Jan
8NLDC reported real-time MAPE at 0.8% for peak demand on 2026-01-06 (DA 2.2%); energy error 0.0% (DA 2.0%).
Inference: Intraday revisions and improved model alignment with actuals during stable weekday conditions kept deviations tight.
Why it matters: Lower real-time error reduces DSM exposure and cuts balancing costs for discoms.

4) ER’s intraday forecasting vastly outperformed day-ahead on 07-Jan
8Eastern Region MAPE: DA 8.49% vs Intraday 1.21% on 2026-01-07; early-hour intraday errors compressed to double-digits MW.
Inference: Same-day updates captured nocturnal demand softness better than DA trajectories.
Why it matters: States in ER had clearer import scheduling windows, limiting imbalance charges and opportunistic RTM exposure.

5) Frequency was outside IEGC band for 5.45 hours on 06-Jan
8On 2026-01-06, frequency spent 23.97% of the day outside 49.90–50.05 Hz (5.45 hours).
Inference: Evening and shoulder-hour balancing frictions increased tail time, heightening sensitivity to short-term ramp events.
Why it matters: Extended off-band operation elevates ancillary needs and tightens reserve margins in imbalance windows.

6) Voltage discipline held at multiple 765 kV nodes through 06-Jan
8Key 765 kV buses (e.g., Ranchi New, Angul, Gaya) recorded 100% within IEGC voltage band over 24:00 hours on 2026-01-06.
Inference: Reactive support and switching discipline kept profiles centred despite demand variability.
Why it matters: Strong voltage compliance reduces tripping risk and stabilises transfer capability during ramps.

7) Many continuous 400 kV line outages persisted in the north-west cluster
826 continuous outages were logged for 400 kV lines on 2026-01-07 (e.g., Bikaner(PG)–Bhadla(RS) Ckt-1, continuous since 2022-12-21).
Inference: Staggered maintenance and modification work remain in flight, relying on network redundancy to keep ATC violations low (see SRI).
Why it matters: Prolonged continuous outages erode contingency depth; if coincident with high-flow days, they can amplify market volatility.

8) Coal logistics: 23 plants flagged with critical stock on 2026-01-05
8CEA’s daily coal report lists 23 coal-based stations under “critical stock,” including North Karanpura TPP (1980 MW) with ~3.21 stock-days.
Inference: Mine evacuation and rake availability constraints kept inventories tight at specific hubs despite normal dispatch.
Why it matters: If not relieved, unit availability and heat-rate penalties can lift variable cost stacks, pushing market prices up in peak periods.

Risk posture firms up as scheduling slack probes bidder resilience

Jan 08: Fourth deadline extension tightens execution risk without softening terms in RECPDCL’s Musalgaon transmission bid
8RECPDCL has pushed the Musalgaon transmission bid deadline for the fourth time, but only on the calendar.
8Commercial terms, COD rigidity, and penalty exposure remain untouched.
8The real story lies in what repeated extensions reveal about bidder risk appetite.

RECPDCL pushes Luhri Stage-I evacuation tender to 22 January 2026, holding risk lines firm despite 60 extensions
8Sixty extensions later, RECPDCL has moved the Luhri Stage-I transmission bid deadline again — but not the risk.
8The calendar shifts while COD coupling, BOOT obligations, and tariff rigidity remain untouched.
8What finally emerges will say more about bidder stamina than promoter flexibility. Details

Jan 08: Repeated bid extensions reshape timeline risk in OPTCL’s Ramakrushnapur 400/220 kV GIS EPC tender
8OPTCL’s Ramakrushnapur GIS tender has quietly accumulated six bid-date extensions.
8The scope remains intact, but the calendar keeps moving.
8For EPC players, the real contest may now lie in pricing discipline rather than technical qualification.

Multiple bid-date extensions flag pricing and risk tension in BHEL’s ash handling EPC at DVC Koderma Phase-II
8A routine date extension rarely tells a story.
8Six of them, spread across weeks, usually do.
8In BHEL’s Koderma ash handling EPC, time became the quiet battleground. Details

Scheduling leeway becomes the only concession as public buyers hold the risk line

Jan 08: BPSCL extends bid deadline for Tupkadih–slag dump–ash pond railway DPR consultancy by one week
8A quiet deadline extension often reveals more than a loud corrigendum.
8In BPSCL’s railway connectivity consultancy tender, the calendar shift preserves every clause while subtly recalibrating bid quality expectations.
8The real signal lies not in what changed, but in what was deliberately left untouched.

RRVPN extends bid timelines for Dahra 400/220 kV, 500 MVA sub-station without touching scope or risk framework
8RRVPN has recalibrated the bidding clock for its Dahra sub-station upgrade, but not the contract itself.
8The extension reshapes bidder behaviour without conceding commercial ground.
8What it signals about transmission-sector risk management is more telling than the dates alone. Details

Time slack is introduced to sort preparedness, not to relax grid-risk discipline

Jan 08: Date extension recalibrates bid timeline without altering risk framework
8MEECL has extended timelines on its Mawkhanu–Saisiej substation tender, but left the contractual spine untouched.
8The move offers breathing room without conceding leverage.
8What it signals about bidder readiness is more telling than the new dates themselves.

MPPTCL extends ERS tender timelines twice, recalibrating competition for EHV grid restoration readiness
8MPPTCL’s ERS tender has now crossed two deadline extensions, quietly reshaping the competitive landscape.
8In a niche market where speed and structural integrity matter more than price alone, timelines carry strategic signals.
8What looks procedural may, in fact, redefine who qualifies to restore Madhya Pradesh’s grid in crisis. Details

New transmission tenders hard-wire project interface risk into contractor scope

Jan 08: HVPNL resets 132 kV line diversion playbook to clear the runway for the integrated aviation hub at Hisar
8Aviation-driven grid diversions are no longer being treated as minor modifications.
8HVPNL’s Hisar tender quietly redraws the boundary between utility control and EPC risk.
8The real implications sit buried in what the document chooses not to emphasise.

APTRANSCO splits Sanampudi evacuation into twin 400 kV tenders, shifting wind-zone and interface risk to contractors
8A 118 km wind zone-5 transmission corridor and a new 400/220 kV AIS sub-station are being pushed through parallel tenders.
8The technical choices reveal more about risk transfer than about conductor technology.
8What appears routine at first glance carries execution consequences that bidders cannot ignore. Details

Grid updates

Jan 08: 1) WRPC’s quiet reset
8Cost compression, grid rigidity, and the hidden stress beneath western india’s power expansion.  The Western grid narrative has shifted from expansion optimism to cost discipline, procedural tightening, and rising operational anxiety.  At the same time, transmission planning is racing ahead for large PSP and RE capacities, even as WRLDC flags modelling gaps and reliability risks.

2) NRPC’s Winter Outage Stack Deepens
8Transmission congestion and hydro clustering begin to eclipse thermal risk. The latest meeting signals a decisive escalation: longer outage durations, greater simultaneity across units, and a heavier dependence on transmission system work coinciding with peak seasonal sensitivities.

3) North India: Delhi’s VAR bill stays structurally “sticky” while UP suddenly flips into the region’s biggest reactive-earner
8The commercial lever is obvious: where the region is “earning” reactive charges is moving faster than where it is “paying”, implying operational settings and voltage behaviour are changing unevenly across states. Structurally, this is a weekly reminder that reactive discipline isn’t a footnote-it’s becoming a recurring, bankable transfer between a handful of entities.

4) North India DSA: Rajasthan’s deviation bill spikes, while Delhi flips sides
8NR discipline is being set by corridor stress, not states. Operationally, the recurring pattern is that a handful of entities (big states + corridors) set the settlement tone, while smaller entities (Chandigarh, Nepal) remain directionally consistent but not system-defining.

5) NR’s “pool bill” shrank
8But TRAS exploded: Week 39 cut total payouts by ~Rs.6.56 cr even as real-time balancing got costlier and more concentrated.

KSEB narrows the field to two technical bidders for Dhyuthi 2.0 Kasaragod distribution package

Jan 08: 8KSEB’s Dhyuthi 2.0 Kasaragod tender quietly moves into a decisive phase with just two technically admitted bidders.
8The turnkey structure concentrates execution risk while compressing competitive bandwidth.
8What follows at the commercial stage will test pricing discipline against delivery credibility. Details

CSERC updates

Jan 08: 1) CSERC quashes PPA termination to preserve renewable project viability
8In a rare regulatory intervention, the Chhattisgarh Commission set aside the termination of an 8 MW biomass Power Purchase Agreement between CSPDCL and Shripur Power & Steel Ltd., allowing reinstatement upon furnishing a performance guarantee. The decision underscores that renewable projects, even when delayed, may receive regulatory protection if investment and intent remain demonstrable.

2) CSERC opens grid access to solar buyers without dedicated feeder rule
8The Chhattisgarh Electricity Regulatory Commission has proposed a key relaxation in its open access framework - allowing eligible consumers to buy solar power from within the state even without dedicated grid feeders. This amendment could reshape consumer-level access to renewables, particularly for medium and small users constrained by feeder infrastructure costs.

APEPDCL Round-up

Jan 08: 1) APEPDCL’s per-unit power cost rises 2% MoM even as energy drawal falls in November 2025
8According to APEPDCL’s monthly FPPCA computation for November 2025, actual energy purchase cost averaged Rs.5.856/kWh, up 2.13% from October’s Rs.5.734/kWh, despite a 5% drop in total energy procurement. The computed FPPCA reached Rs.0.5288/unit but remains capped at Rs.0.40/unit under Regulation No.2 of 2023.

2) APCPDCL’s monthly FPPCA stabilises near cap as marginal cost uptick meets regulatory containment
8A review of APCPDCL’s October and November 2025 Fuel and Power Purchase Cost Adjustment sheets reveals a tightly managed pass-through mechanism under APERC Regulation No. 2 of 2023 (4?? Amendment to Reg. 4 of 2005). The Actual Weighted Average Power Purchase Cost inched up from Rs. 5.73 to Rs. 5.86 per unit while dispatch fell 3 %, narrowing the gap with the approved benchmark to below Rs. 0.45.

UK power utility tightens RDSS undergrounding into a pre-shaped financial contest

Jan 08: UPCL’s Shail Vihar RDSS undergrounding tender tightens competition early and reshapes price discovery around Rs 86 crore
8A technically intensive RDSS undergrounding package moved rapidly from five bids to a narrow financial contest.
8Qualification thresholds, not aggressive discounting, determined who stayed in play.
8The final numbers reflect a controlled auction rather than a price war

UPCL’s package-C undergrounding award sharpens the cost-compliance frontier under RDSS
8UPCL’s latest undergrounding award was decided long before the price bids were opened.
8Technical filtration quietly reshaped competition into a two-player duel with little room for error.
8What followed says more about the future of RDSS contracting than about this package alone.

Rs 55 crore sets a 17.2% cliff in pkg-b HT/LT undergrounding
8UPCL’s undergrounding package ends up as a two-horse financial race after three bidders are stopped at PQR.
8The price spread is a hard 17.2%, large enough to hint at radically different risk assumptions on route complexity and execution control.
8What matters next is whether governance stays strict after award, or quietly absorbs the stress that a low bid tends to export.

UPCL’s package-E undergrounding tender shows how technical filtration reshaped price discovery under RDSS
8UPCL’s package-E undergrounding tender quietly narrowed the battlefield before prices were even opened.
8Five bidders were eliminated upstream, concentrating competition among a smaller, technically screened group.
8The result carries a sharp message on how RDSS risk is now being allocated Details

Rs 3.15/kWh sets new reference for short-term solar at UP discom periphery

Jan 07: 8The tariff adoption anchors the discovered rate within prevailing G-TAM and G-DAM benchmarks, signalling stronger price convergence in short-term solar. It reflects a tightening and more disciplined band for short-duration renewable supply
Click on Details for more Details

Market Round-up

Jan 07: 1) Forced outages balloon to ~21.69 GW, dwarfing planned work
8Total forced unit outages summed ~21,692.61 MW on 2026-01-06, against ~8,200.71 MW planned.
Inference: The breadth of forced events, spread across coal and hydro units, likely tightened flexible supply even as market bids looked ample.
Why it matters: High forced MW raises balancing costs and short-notice procurement risk for DISCOMs.

2) DAM bid overhang returns; MCP ~Rs 4.16/kWh despite full scheduling
8On 2026-01-06, sell bids (491,116.85 MWh) exceeded purchase bids (392,608.21 MWh), with MCV = Final Scheduled = 191,056.46 MWh; MCP printed 4,162.88 Rs/MWh (~Rs 4.16/kWh).
Inference: A fat offer stack with full scheduling suggests price formation driven by bid curves rather than transmission partitioning.
Why it matters: Price discovery stayed moderate despite oversupply, implying near-term savings for buyers if this stack persists.

3) Hydro-only HPDAM shows supply, but demand vanishes on clearing day
8On 2026-01-06, HPDAM recorded Sell Bid 112,764.00 MWh versus Purchase Bid 0.00; MCV and Final Scheduled both 0.00.
Inference: With no buyer interest at posted ranges, short-duration hydro flexibility wasn’t monetised day-ahead.
Why it matters: Zero-clear events blunt the hydro arbitrage signal and point to mismatched procurement windows for peak support.

4) Early-morning over-frequency tail observed near 50.05 Hz
8At 05:45:10 IST on 2026-01-06, measured frequency touched ~50.05 Hz (10-sec source).
Inference: Light-load shoulder plus bid overhang (see DAM evidence) likely nudged frequency above 50.00 in early blocks.
Why it matters: Even small over-frequency tails force tighter AGC discipline and can re-price ancillary needs later in the day.

5) RLNG stations priced out of SCUC pick list on D-1
8NLDC SCUC Format-2 for 07-Jan-2026 (D-1 for 06-Jan-2026 scheduling context) lists RLNG units (e.g., Gandhar-RLNG 1006.9; Kawas-RLNG 1080; RGPPL-RLNG 1037) with “NO” selection across blocks 1–96.
Inference: With DAM MCP ~Rs 4.16/kWh and these ECRs (units as printed in file), gas plants did not clear in SCUC merit for the day-ahead stack.
Why it matters: Gas flexibility remained sidelined, increasing reliance on coal/hydro/ancillary for ramping and contingencies.

6) Planned element outages list swells (catalogued), raising maintenance windows risk
8Transmission “planned elements” list shows 759 entries in the 06-Jan-2026 file, dominated by 220/400 kV bays/lines with dated maintenance tags.
Inference: A bulky maintenance ledger indicates cumulative work windows that can compress ATC margins when clustered.
Why it matters: Even absent formal ATC violations, stacked maintenance can magnify single-contingency exposure in peak hours.

7) DAM cleared volume concentrated despite bid depth; basis risk muted on day
8For 06-Jan-2026, DAM MCV and Final Scheduled were identical (191,056.46 MWh), indicating full conversion of market-clearing volume to schedules.
Inference: With no evident partitioning in the snapshot, the intraday basis risk to RTM narrowed for scheduled buyers.
Why it matters: Predictable day-ahead conversion reduces balancing exposure and procurement slippage costs.

8) Forced outage mass vs market oversupply: compression pressure on intraday premiums
8Forced outages (~21.69 GW) co-existed with a DAM sell overhang (~98,508.64 MWh vs purchase), yet MCP printed ~Rs 4.16/kWh.
Inference: Broad offer-side depth out-weighed unit-level shocks, likely curbing RTM premium blow-outs later in the day.
Why it matters: When outage surges don’t lift MCPs, DISCOMs gain room to defer or scale ancillary spends.

Grid updates

Jan 07: 1) Reactive money tightened across the South
8State receivables cooled, Tamil Nadu’s payable deepened, and the pool’s net inflow shrank week-on-week.

2) Karnataka’s DSM shock evaporates, Kerala flips to receivable
8But the pool surplus halves, signalling a less “forgiving” week in Southern discipline.

3) Kudgi Becomes the Grid’s Flex ATM as TRAS Flips from Big Payout Week to Near-Flat Net
8Across mid-to-late December, the Southern ancillary stack sends a blunt message: SRAS stays commercially steady, but TRAS abruptly stops being a broad payout channel and becomes a concentrated, almost one-asset story. SRAS pool outgo remains ~Rs.2.34 crore in both weeks

4) Payment Security Is Cracking the Southern Grid
8LCs, HVDC cost shifts, and DSM defaults converge into a systemic risk
There is a widening gap between regulatory intent and ground-level compliance. If left unaddressed, these fault lines risk migrating from balance sheets to grid discipline itself.

5) NPCIL’s Unpaid Bills Tell a Bigger Story About Nuclear Risk
8From Kaiga to Kudankulam, NPCIL’s dues remain unresolved across years. Reconciliation meetings are promised, skipped, and re-promised. Nuclear generators are forced into involuntary credit exposure. The silence of enforcement bodies is telling.

6) WRPC’s “voltage-control grid” is eating the outage calendar
8Long reactor/line holds dominate while protection and hygiene failures still puncture the system. The operational insight: if voltage regulation is systematically pushing elements into prolonged holds, then the grid’s risk shifts from “high-frequency transient trips” to low-redundancy periods where a single protection mis-operation can bite harder.

7) WRPC’s reactive-money map tightened
8Until Maharashtra snapped from VAR earner to VAR payer, and the liability re-concentrated in a familiar corridor.

8) WR’s deviation bill went “smaller”
8But what got more dangerous: receivables collapsed, payables concentrated, and the region leaned harder on SR while bleeding to NR.

9) Western grid’s “gas + SCUC” week
8SRAS payout collapses while RLNG plants and SCUC settlements explode. Commercially, this is a week where being online and flexible is rewarded massively-unless your performance pushes you into persistent payables.

10) NER’s balancing bill is rising
8SCED pay-outs jump even as the system swings through deeper “refund days.” The commercial lever is obvious: when the grid is paying out more while also clawing back hard on specific days, forecasting error + dispatch responsiveness becomes the profit-and-penalty hinge. The structural tension: “clean” monthly REA requisitioning can coexist with messy intra-month balancing, and your traded narrative has to explain why

11) Karnataka drives G-DAM expansion as hydro exports surge and northern buyers retreat
8India’s Green-Day Ahead Market volumes held steady across November–December 2025 at roughly 778 MU, but regional flows flipped sharply. Karnataka’s green-power sales leapt +56% to 347 MU, offsetting reduced hydro and renewable dispatch from Himachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, and Sikkim. The persistence of state-level imbalances underscores the need for flexible scheduling and dynamic price discovery within India’s evolving green-market architecture.

12) India’s minimum-turn-down dispatch stabilises
8This is as NLDC’s October–November MTL corrections shrink by four-fifths

APCPDCL’s free agriculture sales rise 22 per cent in September as monsoon-linked irrigation demand surges

Jan 07: 8The surge coincides with peak irrigation months and the ramp-up of 9-hour and 15-hour rural feeders under APERC’s approved methodology. While higher volumes reflect better supply assurance to farmers, they also tighten the utility’s loss trajectory ahead of the FY26 energy-accounting true-up.

UHBVN’s FY 2024-25 Cost-of-Supply study reveals persistent cost divergence across consumer categories despite methodological maturity

Jan 07: 8The Haryana regulator’s embedded-cost approach for FY 2024-25 shows UHBVN’s average CoS at Rs 7.75 per kWh, with clear intra-category variation: agriculture and low-tension users remain above Rs 8.2, while high-tension consumers stand near Rs 7.1. By quantifying these cost drivers, UHBVN evidences where subsidies truly accrue and highlights the structural gap between cost and tariff recovery.

HESCOM’s FY 2024-25 performance shows widened loss amid higher power purchase costs and audit qualifications

Jan 07: 8HESCOM’s Annual Accounts for FY 2024-25 and its APR petition before KERC reveal a net deficit of Rs. 1,499.72 crore, driven by steep rise in power purchase expenses and interest liabilities. Revenue from sale of power was Rs. 4,601.9 crore while total income reached Rs. 7,552 crore against an aggregate ARR of Rs. 14,053 crore. Auditors M N S & Co. issued a qualified opinion highlighting unreconciled security deposits, unprovided deferred tax, and fraud loss exposures over Rs. 160 crore

CEA updates

Jan 07: 1) India’s electricity system scales past 520 GW as renewable capacity quadruples over a decade
8India’s power sector reached a consolidated installed capacity of 522.9 GW (utilities + captive) at end-FY 2023-24, marking a 6.2 % annual growth and a transformative shift in its composition. Renewables (excluding large hydro) surged to 143.6 GW, growing at a compound rate of 15 % since 2014, while thermal sources (243.2 GW) still supplied over three-quarters of all electricity generated. CEA’s review records gross utility generation of 1 734 TWh, supplemented by 224 TWh from captive plants, taking India’s total to 1 958 TWh in 2023-24. Transmission losses fell to 17.6 % of available energy, and per-capita consumption rose to 1 400 kWh, up 5.2 % y-o-y. The document signals the sector’s steady march toward universal access and diversified generation mix ahead of India’s energy-transition milestones for 2030.

2) Private capital and captive generation growth
8Private players now own over half of installed capacity, and industrial self-generation tops 80 GW - reducing grid dependence but necessitating new open-access and DSM mechanisms.

Merit stack hardens in November as multiple thermal and gas sellers lose dispatch share

Jan 07: 8According to MTL schedule calculation datasets for October and November 2025, the power system experienced a sharp re-ordering of dispatch priorities within a single month. Seller-wise 96-block schedules show steep reductions for major baseload stations such as BARH and BARH-I, alongside a near-complete withdrawal of BGTPP from the November merit stack. APM-linked gas sellers that were active in October saw no scheduling at all in November. The pattern indicates system-wide cost optimisation and commercial filtering rather than plant-specific outages.

Market Round-up

Jan 09: 1) Evening DAM hit the cap in back-to-back hours
8Market clearing price reached Rs 10.00/kWh in Hour 19–20 (08-01-2026).
Inference: Sell bids stayed thin versus purchase bids in those hours, tightening MCV and pushing the price ceiling
Why it matters: Costlier evening procurement compresses portfolio headroom and raises retail pass-through risk in peak windows.

2) DAM daily weighted average printed near Rs 4.69/kWh
8Weighted average MCP = Rs 4.689/kWh (08-01-2026).
Inference: Day-long MCV averaged ~7.82 GWh hour-equivalent, with wide intraday dispersion but capped peaks
Why it matters: The daily print shapes short-term bilateral benchmarks and portfolio indexed clauses.

3) RTM pre-dawn prices sat in the Rs 2.05–2.72/kWh band
8Multiple T1–T4 blocks (00:00–01:00) cleared between Rs 2.05–2.72/kWh.
Inference: Healthy sell bids vs modest purchase bids in the first sessions softened MCP
Why it matters: Deep off-peak discounts enable block-shifting for portfolios able to pump/shift or run flexible loads.

4) PXIL’s IDAS kept clearing at the price cap on thin volumes
8IDAS cleared 330.75 MWh at Rs 10.00/kWh on 08-01-2026; several adjacent days also capped.
Inference: Sparse purchase bids and very light MCV concentrate trades at the ceiling
Why it matters: With DAC windows priced at the cap, portfolios face limited relief after DAM outcomes.

5) HPX RTM was effectively inactive on the day
8Zero bids, zero MCV, zero scheduled volume across HPX RTM on 08-01-2026.
Inference: No visible participation; liquidity concentrated on other venues that day
Why it matters: Fragmented liquidity can raise execution risk for participants relying on multi-exchange RTM routing.

6) Ancillary DAM at HPX cleared nothing end-to-end
8ASDAM cleared 0.00 MWh for all blocks on 08-01-2026; summary totals are zero.
Inference: No transactable bids (transmission-agnostic market, but empty stacks)
Why it matters: Absence of cleared ancillary from this venue shifts balancing reliance to other tools/markets.

7) 400 kV grid carried a heavy slate of continuous constraints
873 elements at 400 kV tagged “Continuous” and 52 at 400 kV tagged “Daily” in the outage list (08-01-2026).
Inference: Long-running outages across bays/lines/ICTs accumulate into persistent capacity frictions
Why it matters: Persistent constraints pre-condition price spikes and limit transfer corridor headroom on tight hours.

8) Forced unit outages outnumbered planned by nearly 2:1
8Forced outages = 117 entries vs Planned = 66 on 08-01-2026 (generating units).
Inference: Concentration in the B. Forced Outages section indicates short-notice derates across multiple owners
Why it matters: Elevated forced outages tighten available capacity and can amplify evening MCP sensitivity.

Grid updates

Jan 09: 1) Western region: TRAS breaks into negative territory as gas-backed flexibility vanishes
8And the grid quietly shifts the balancing burden onto SCED and RTM. The operational tension is obvious-when scheduled flexibility contracts, the grid doesn’t “feel” it immediately; it shows up later as higher corrective actions and more extreme netting (including negative totals).

2) WR SCED turns sharply more expensive in Dec
8The same handful of units dominate payouts, but one plant’s swing rewrites the month.

3) Southern grid’s stress isn’t “supply”
8It’s execution: recurring protection/frequency alarms, outage-work coordination failures, and a growing procedural choke-point on restoration. The structural tension is between faster build/maintenance cycles (highway projects, line diversions, bay mods) and slower institutional clearance pathways; the result is an “execution tax” that shows up as risk, delay, and recurring agenda reappearances.

SECI’s Radha Nesda 700 MW (AC) tender turns BOS into a seven-year balance-sheet contest

Jan 09: 8SECI has structured this 700 MW (AC) Radha Nesda BOS tender so the real fight is not just EPC price, but discounted O&M economics and long-tenor security.
8The clauses quietly convert operational acceptance into a lever that can withhold payment while still forcing the contractor to carry performance exposure into the O&M period.
8The most revealing signals are embedded not in headlines, but in how SCC rewires GCC defaults and how e-RA is engineered to prevent one-legged bidding games. Details

Contracting news signals tighter accountability as owners recalibrate risk and incentives

Jan 09: IREDA pivots to milestone-linked legal expertise through GeM
8IREDA has quietly re-engineered how it procures legal advice.
8The shift from retainers to milestone-linked delivery alters risk, incentives, and who can realistically bid.
8What looks procedural on GeM carries deeper signals for lender-side governance.

BHEL hardens EPC risk transfer in water treatment package for CSPGCL’s 2 × 660 MW Korba West project
8Water systems rarely make headlines, but they decide whether a 660 MW unit runs or trips.
8In Korba West, BHEL has quietly shifted more performance and design risk onto EPC bidders than before.
8The real impact will be visible not at bid opening, but in how margins and reliability play out years later. Details

Contracting news shows time being used as a screening tool rather than a concession

Jan 09: MPPTCL extends Morena phase-1 600 MW solar evacuation tender twice, testing bidder depth without reopening risk terms
8MPPTCL has quietly pushed the Morena phase-1 solar evacuation tender into February after two deadline extensions.
8The move expands bidder breathing room without touching scope or risk allocation.
8What it reveals about transmission EPC appetite is the real story.

BHEL stretches bid timelines four times to de-risk ash and coal systems at DVC Raghunathpur TPS phase-II
8Four extensions on a single EPC package are rarely accidental.
8In BHEL’s Raghunathpur phase-II tender, time became the quiet risk-management lever.
8What looks like delay may actually be a filter. Details

Contracting news points to sharper selectivity in advisory and execution risk

Jan 09: BHEL extends tariff petition consultancy tender twice, pushing bid deadline after 15 January

8Who ultimately pays for that shift is not answered upfront. Details

Contracting news hints at selective capacity filtering in supercritical advisory markets

Jan 09: GSECL extends EIA-EMP consultancy tender timeline, holding scope and risk allocation firm for supercritical projects
8GSECL has extended the bid deadline for its supercritical EIA-EMP consultancy without touching scope, qualifications, or risk allocation.
8The move hints at market capacity constraints rather than promoter uncertainty.
8What this means for pricing discipline and clearance timelines is where the real story lies.

GSECL extends GeM consultant tender timeline for supercritical DPR re-validation at Gandhinagar TPS
8GSECL has quietly extended the submission window for its Gandhinagar TPS supercritical DPR re-validation tender.
8The move reshapes who can realistically compete for a technically dense advisory mandate.
8What it signals about risk, credibility, and future EPC packaging is where the real story lies. Details

Contracting news signals silent expansion of long-horizon cyber risk beyond tariff control

Jan 09: PFCCL quietly hard-codes cybersecurity risk into the Tumkur-II 2.7 GW transmission bid
8A one-line amendment in PFCCL’s Tumkur-II transmission RFP quietly changes the project’s long-term risk anatomy.
8What looks like a minor technical clarification actually shifts an open-ended compliance burden onto bidders.
8The tariff stays fixed, but the risk envelope does not.

PFCCL hard-codes cyber security risk into NERGS-III Siang Basin transmission RFP
8NERGS-III is being sold as steel and towers, but it is being priced as code and compliance.
8PFCCL’s third amendment quietly shifts cyber security from a hardware line item to a 35-year regulatory obligation.
8The real impact will surface not at bid opening, but deep into O&M cashflows. Details

HTLS reconductoring turns fiercely competitive as Advait edges out JSK and Sterlite

Jan 09: 8PTCUL’s Rishikesh–Chilla HTLS reconductoring award looks routine on paper but carries deeper pricing signals.
8The L1–L2 gap is tight for a technically complex live-line upgrade.
8What this means for margins and future HTLS bids is where the real story lies. Details

CEA updates

Jan 09: 1) India’s grid expansion accelerates in December 2025 with 9 GW equivalent substation capacity added.

2) ISTS and state utilities add 1.9 GW-equivalent transmission capacity in two months

3) PGCIL energises 765 kV Khavda–Ahmedabad link under Phase-II Part B

4) India’s transformation capacity crosses 1.4 million MVA as 400 kV additions lead December surge

5) Khavda-linked 765 kV backbones and ERSS/NRSS links drive a December commissioning spike across India’s grid
8The central system-wide tension is clear: absorb rapidly rising RE from Khavda/Rajasthan while strengthening inter-regional flows. For SLDCs and regulators, these completions signal near-term relief on congestion/curtailment and greater MOD latitude, though actual gains will hinge on ATC/TTC upgrades and protection/SCADA readiness documented elsewhere.

Rajasthan holds MOD discipline as thermal costs stabilise across NTPC and state stations

Jan 08: 8Variable costs for gas- and coal-based units moved within ±0.2 %, keeping the merit stack intact. Liquid-fuelled units such as Dadri Liq and Auriya Liq remain at the top of the cost curve (Rs. 20–26 /kWh), while NTPC’s Singrauli and Rihand continue anchoring the base at under Rs. 3 /kWh.

Market Round-up

Jan 08: 1) Morning RTM slammed into the price cap across multiple blocks
8On 2026-01-07, RTM MCP hit Rs 10.00/kWh in 17 blocks, including 07:45–08:00.
Inference: Tight morning balance as NR import constraints showed up (6 violated blocks) alongside frequency volatility the prior day, shrinking headroom exactly when RTM ramps.
Why it matters: Price-cap prints inflate imbalance risk and raise procurement costs for short portfolios during the morning ramp.

2) DAM’s weighted MCP stepped up day-over-day into 07-Jan
8DAM weighted MCP rose to Rs 4.83/kWh on 2026-01-07 from Rs 3.97/kWh on 2026-01-06 (+Rs 0.86/kWh).
Inference: Heavier cleared volumes and stronger purchase bids into 07-Jan firmed the curve versus the previous day.
Why it matters: Costlier day-ahead power tightens RTM optionality and raises landed costs for portfolios that under-scheduled.

3) All-India real-time forecast error stayed sub-1% on 06-Jan
8NLDC reported real-time MAPE at 0.8% for peak demand on 2026-01-06 (DA 2.2%); energy error 0.0% (DA 2.0%).
Inference: Intraday revisions and improved model alignment with actuals during stable weekday conditions kept deviations tight.
Why it matters: Lower real-time error reduces DSM exposure and cuts balancing costs for discoms.

4) ER’s intraday forecasting vastly outperformed day-ahead on 07-Jan
8Eastern Region MAPE: DA 8.49% vs Intraday 1.21% on 2026-01-07; early-hour intraday errors compressed to double-digits MW.
Inference: Same-day updates captured nocturnal demand softness better than DA trajectories.
Why it matters: States in ER had clearer import scheduling windows, limiting imbalance charges and opportunistic RTM exposure.

5) Frequency was outside IEGC band for 5.45 hours on 06-Jan
8On 2026-01-06, frequency spent 23.97% of the day outside 49.90–50.05 Hz (5.45 hours).
Inference: Evening and shoulder-hour balancing frictions increased tail time, heightening sensitivity to short-term ramp events.
Why it matters: Extended off-band operation elevates ancillary needs and tightens reserve margins in imbalance windows.

6) Voltage discipline held at multiple 765 kV nodes through 06-Jan
8Key 765 kV buses (e.g., Ranchi New, Angul, Gaya) recorded 100% within IEGC voltage band over 24:00 hours on 2026-01-06.
Inference: Reactive support and switching discipline kept profiles centred despite demand variability.
Why it matters: Strong voltage compliance reduces tripping risk and stabilises transfer capability during ramps.

7) Many continuous 400 kV line outages persisted in the north-west cluster
826 continuous outages were logged for 400 kV lines on 2026-01-07 (e.g., Bikaner(PG)–Bhadla(RS) Ckt-1, continuous since 2022-12-21).
Inference: Staggered maintenance and modification work remain in flight, relying on network redundancy to keep ATC violations low (see SRI).
Why it matters: Prolonged continuous outages erode contingency depth; if coincident with high-flow days, they can amplify market volatility.

8) Coal logistics: 23 plants flagged with critical stock on 2026-01-05
8CEA’s daily coal report lists 23 coal-based stations under “critical stock,” including North Karanpura TPP (1980 MW) with ~3.21 stock-days.
Inference: Mine evacuation and rake availability constraints kept inventories tight at specific hubs despite normal dispatch.
Why it matters: If not relieved, unit availability and heat-rate penalties can lift variable cost stacks, pushing market prices up in peak periods.

Risk posture firms up as scheduling slack probes bidder resilience

Jan 08: Fourth deadline extension tightens execution risk without softening terms in RECPDCL’s Musalgaon transmission bid
8RECPDCL has pushed the Musalgaon transmission bid deadline for the fourth time, but only on the calendar.
8Commercial terms, COD rigidity, and penalty exposure remain untouched.
8The real story lies in what repeated extensions reveal about bidder risk appetite.

RECPDCL pushes Luhri Stage-I evacuation tender to 22 January 2026, holding risk lines firm despite 60 extensions
8Sixty extensions later, RECPDCL has moved the Luhri Stage-I transmission bid deadline again — but not the risk.
8The calendar shifts while COD coupling, BOOT obligations, and tariff rigidity remain untouched.
8What finally emerges will say more about bidder stamina than promoter flexibility. Details

Jan 08: Repeated bid extensions reshape timeline risk in OPTCL’s Ramakrushnapur 400/220 kV GIS EPC tender
8OPTCL’s Ramakrushnapur GIS tender has quietly accumulated six bid-date extensions.
8The scope remains intact, but the calendar keeps moving.
8For EPC players, the real contest may now lie in pricing discipline rather than technical qualification.

Multiple bid-date extensions flag pricing and risk tension in BHEL’s ash handling EPC at DVC Koderma Phase-II
8A routine date extension rarely tells a story.
8Six of them, spread across weeks, usually do.
8In BHEL’s Koderma ash handling EPC, time became the quiet battleground. Details

Scheduling leeway becomes the only concession as public buyers hold the risk line

Jan 08: BPSCL extends bid deadline for Tupkadih–slag dump–ash pond railway DPR consultancy by one week
8A quiet deadline extension often reveals more than a loud corrigendum.
8In BPSCL’s railway connectivity consultancy tender, the calendar shift preserves every clause while subtly recalibrating bid quality expectations.
8The real signal lies not in what changed, but in what was deliberately left untouched.

RRVPN extends bid timelines for Dahra 400/220 kV, 500 MVA sub-station without touching scope or risk framework
8RRVPN has recalibrated the bidding clock for its Dahra sub-station upgrade, but not the contract itself.
8The extension reshapes bidder behaviour without conceding commercial ground.
8What it signals about transmission-sector risk management is more telling than the dates alone. Details

Time slack is introduced to sort preparedness, not to relax grid-risk discipline

Jan 08: Date extension recalibrates bid timeline without altering risk framework
8MEECL has extended timelines on its Mawkhanu–Saisiej substation tender, but left the contractual spine untouched.
8The move offers breathing room without conceding leverage.
8What it signals about bidder readiness is more telling than the new dates themselves.

MPPTCL extends ERS tender timelines twice, recalibrating competition for EHV grid restoration readiness
8MPPTCL’s ERS tender has now crossed two deadline extensions, quietly reshaping the competitive landscape.
8In a niche market where speed and structural integrity matter more than price alone, timelines carry strategic signals.
8What looks procedural may, in fact, redefine who qualifies to restore Madhya Pradesh’s grid in crisis. Details

New transmission tenders hard-wire project interface risk into contractor scope

Jan 08: HVPNL resets 132 kV line diversion playbook to clear the runway for the integrated aviation hub at Hisar
8Aviation-driven grid diversions are no longer being treated as minor modifications.
8HVPNL’s Hisar tender quietly redraws the boundary between utility control and EPC risk.
8The real implications sit buried in what the document chooses not to emphasise.

APTRANSCO splits Sanampudi evacuation into twin 400 kV tenders, shifting wind-zone and interface risk to contractors
8A 118 km wind zone-5 transmission corridor and a new 400/220 kV AIS sub-station are being pushed through parallel tenders.
8The technical choices reveal more about risk transfer than about conductor technology.
8What appears routine at first glance carries execution consequences that bidders cannot ignore. Details

Grid updates

Jan 08: 1) WRPC’s quiet reset
8Cost compression, grid rigidity, and the hidden stress beneath western india’s power expansion.  The Western grid narrative has shifted from expansion optimism to cost discipline, procedural tightening, and rising operational anxiety.  At the same time, transmission planning is racing ahead for large PSP and RE capacities, even as WRLDC flags modelling gaps and reliability risks.

2) NRPC’s Winter Outage Stack Deepens
8Transmission congestion and hydro clustering begin to eclipse thermal risk. The latest meeting signals a decisive escalation: longer outage durations, greater simultaneity across units, and a heavier dependence on transmission system work coinciding with peak seasonal sensitivities.

3) North India: Delhi’s VAR bill stays structurally “sticky” while UP suddenly flips into the region’s biggest reactive-earner
8The commercial lever is obvious: where the region is “earning” reactive charges is moving faster than where it is “paying”, implying operational settings and voltage behaviour are changing unevenly across states. Structurally, this is a weekly reminder that reactive discipline isn’t a footnote-it’s becoming a recurring, bankable transfer between a handful of entities.

4) North India DSA: Rajasthan’s deviation bill spikes, while Delhi flips sides
8NR discipline is being set by corridor stress, not states. Operationally, the recurring pattern is that a handful of entities (big states + corridors) set the settlement tone, while smaller entities (Chandigarh, Nepal) remain directionally consistent but not system-defining.

5) NR’s “pool bill” shrank
8But TRAS exploded: Week 39 cut total payouts by ~Rs.6.56 cr even as real-time balancing got costlier and more concentrated.

KSEB narrows the field to two technical bidders for Dhyuthi 2.0 Kasaragod distribution package

Jan 08: 8KSEB’s Dhyuthi 2.0 Kasaragod tender quietly moves into a decisive phase with just two technically admitted bidders.
8The turnkey structure concentrates execution risk while compressing competitive bandwidth.
8What follows at the commercial stage will test pricing discipline against delivery credibility. Details

CSERC updates

Jan 08: 1) CSERC quashes PPA termination to preserve renewable project viability
8In a rare regulatory intervention, the Chhattisgarh Commission set aside the termination of an 8 MW biomass Power Purchase Agreement between CSPDCL and Shripur Power & Steel Ltd., allowing reinstatement upon furnishing a performance guarantee. The decision underscores that renewable projects, even when delayed, may receive regulatory protection if investment and intent remain demonstrable.

2) CSERC opens grid access to solar buyers without dedicated feeder rule
8The Chhattisgarh Electricity Regulatory Commission has proposed a key relaxation in its open access framework - allowing eligible consumers to buy solar power from within the state even without dedicated grid feeders. This amendment could reshape consumer-level access to renewables, particularly for medium and small users constrained by feeder infrastructure costs.

APEPDCL Round-up

Jan 08: 1) APEPDCL’s per-unit power cost rises 2% MoM even as energy drawal falls in November 2025
8According to APEPDCL’s monthly FPPCA computation for November 2025, actual energy purchase cost averaged Rs.5.856/kWh, up 2.13% from October’s Rs.5.734/kWh, despite a 5% drop in total energy procurement. The computed FPPCA reached Rs.0.5288/unit but remains capped at Rs.0.40/unit under Regulation No.2 of 2023.

2) APCPDCL’s monthly FPPCA stabilises near cap as marginal cost uptick meets regulatory containment
8A review of APCPDCL’s October and November 2025 Fuel and Power Purchase Cost Adjustment sheets reveals a tightly managed pass-through mechanism under APERC Regulation No. 2 of 2023 (4?? Amendment to Reg. 4 of 2005). The Actual Weighted Average Power Purchase Cost inched up from Rs. 5.73 to Rs. 5.86 per unit while dispatch fell 3 %, narrowing the gap with the approved benchmark to below Rs. 0.45.

UK power utility tightens RDSS undergrounding into a pre-shaped financial contest

Jan 08: UPCL’s Shail Vihar RDSS undergrounding tender tightens competition early and reshapes price discovery around Rs 86 crore
8A technically intensive RDSS undergrounding package moved rapidly from five bids to a narrow financial contest.
8Qualification thresholds, not aggressive discounting, determined who stayed in play.
8The final numbers reflect a controlled auction rather than a price war

UPCL’s package-C undergrounding award sharpens the cost-compliance frontier under RDSS
8UPCL’s latest undergrounding award was decided long before the price bids were opened.
8Technical filtration quietly reshaped competition into a two-player duel with little room for error.
8What followed says more about the future of RDSS contracting than about this package alone.

Rs 55 crore sets a 17.2% cliff in pkg-b HT/LT undergrounding
8UPCL’s undergrounding package ends up as a two-horse financial race after three bidders are stopped at PQR.
8The price spread is a hard 17.2%, large enough to hint at radically different risk assumptions on route complexity and execution control.
8What matters next is whether governance stays strict after award, or quietly absorbs the stress that a low bid tends to export.

UPCL’s package-E undergrounding tender shows how technical filtration reshaped price discovery under RDSS
8UPCL’s package-E undergrounding tender quietly narrowed the battlefield before prices were even opened.
8Five bidders were eliminated upstream, concentrating competition among a smaller, technically screened group.
8The result carries a sharp message on how RDSS risk is now being allocated Details

Rs 3.15/kWh sets new reference for short-term solar at UP discom periphery

Jan 07: 8The tariff adoption anchors the discovered rate within prevailing G-TAM and G-DAM benchmarks, signalling stronger price convergence in short-term solar. It reflects a tightening and more disciplined band for short-duration renewable supply
Click on Details for more Details

Market Round-up

Jan 07: 1) Forced outages balloon to ~21.69 GW, dwarfing planned work
8Total forced unit outages summed ~21,692.61 MW on 2026-01-06, against ~8,200.71 MW planned.
Inference: The breadth of forced events, spread across coal and hydro units, likely tightened flexible supply even as market bids looked ample.
Why it matters: High forced MW raises balancing costs and short-notice procurement risk for DISCOMs.

2) DAM bid overhang returns; MCP ~Rs 4.16/kWh despite full scheduling
8On 2026-01-06, sell bids (491,116.85 MWh) exceeded purchase bids (392,608.21 MWh), with MCV = Final Scheduled = 191,056.46 MWh; MCP printed 4,162.88 Rs/MWh (~Rs 4.16/kWh).
Inference: A fat offer stack with full scheduling suggests price formation driven by bid curves rather than transmission partitioning.
Why it matters: Price discovery stayed moderate despite oversupply, implying near-term savings for buyers if this stack persists.

3) Hydro-only HPDAM shows supply, but demand vanishes on clearing day
8On 2026-01-06, HPDAM recorded Sell Bid 112,764.00 MWh versus Purchase Bid 0.00; MCV and Final Scheduled both 0.00.
Inference: With no buyer interest at posted ranges, short-duration hydro flexibility wasn’t monetised day-ahead.
Why it matters: Zero-clear events blunt the hydro arbitrage signal and point to mismatched procurement windows for peak support.

4) Early-morning over-frequency tail observed near 50.05 Hz
8At 05:45:10 IST on 2026-01-06, measured frequency touched ~50.05 Hz (10-sec source).
Inference: Light-load shoulder plus bid overhang (see DAM evidence) likely nudged frequency above 50.00 in early blocks.
Why it matters: Even small over-frequency tails force tighter AGC discipline and can re-price ancillary needs later in the day.

5) RLNG stations priced out of SCUC pick list on D-1
8NLDC SCUC Format-2 for 07-Jan-2026 (D-1 for 06-Jan-2026 scheduling context) lists RLNG units (e.g., Gandhar-RLNG 1006.9; Kawas-RLNG 1080; RGPPL-RLNG 1037) with “NO” selection across blocks 1–96.
Inference: With DAM MCP ~Rs 4.16/kWh and these ECRs (units as printed in file), gas plants did not clear in SCUC merit for the day-ahead stack.
Why it matters: Gas flexibility remained sidelined, increasing reliance on coal/hydro/ancillary for ramping and contingencies.

6) Planned element outages list swells (catalogued), raising maintenance windows risk
8Transmission “planned elements” list shows 759 entries in the 06-Jan-2026 file, dominated by 220/400 kV bays/lines with dated maintenance tags.
Inference: A bulky maintenance ledger indicates cumulative work windows that can compress ATC margins when clustered.
Why it matters: Even absent formal ATC violations, stacked maintenance can magnify single-contingency exposure in peak hours.

7) DAM cleared volume concentrated despite bid depth; basis risk muted on day
8For 06-Jan-2026, DAM MCV and Final Scheduled were identical (191,056.46 MWh), indicating full conversion of market-clearing volume to schedules.
Inference: With no evident partitioning in the snapshot, the intraday basis risk to RTM narrowed for scheduled buyers.
Why it matters: Predictable day-ahead conversion reduces balancing exposure and procurement slippage costs.

8) Forced outage mass vs market oversupply: compression pressure on intraday premiums
8Forced outages (~21.69 GW) co-existed with a DAM sell overhang (~98,508.64 MWh vs purchase), yet MCP printed ~Rs 4.16/kWh.
Inference: Broad offer-side depth out-weighed unit-level shocks, likely curbing RTM premium blow-outs later in the day.
Why it matters: When outage surges don’t lift MCPs, DISCOMs gain room to defer or scale ancillary spends.

Grid updates

Jan 07: 1) Reactive money tightened across the South
8State receivables cooled, Tamil Nadu’s payable deepened, and the pool’s net inflow shrank week-on-week.

2) Karnataka’s DSM shock evaporates, Kerala flips to receivable
8But the pool surplus halves, signalling a less “forgiving” week in Southern discipline.

3) Kudgi Becomes the Grid’s Flex ATM as TRAS Flips from Big Payout Week to Near-Flat Net
8Across mid-to-late December, the Southern ancillary stack sends a blunt message: SRAS stays commercially steady, but TRAS abruptly stops being a broad payout channel and becomes a concentrated, almost one-asset story. SRAS pool outgo remains ~Rs.2.34 crore in both weeks

4) Payment Security Is Cracking the Southern Grid
8LCs, HVDC cost shifts, and DSM defaults converge into a systemic risk
There is a widening gap between regulatory intent and ground-level compliance. If left unaddressed, these fault lines risk migrating from balance sheets to grid discipline itself.

5) NPCIL’s Unpaid Bills Tell a Bigger Story About Nuclear Risk
8From Kaiga to Kudankulam, NPCIL’s dues remain unresolved across years. Reconciliation meetings are promised, skipped, and re-promised. Nuclear generators are forced into involuntary credit exposure. The silence of enforcement bodies is telling.

6) WRPC’s “voltage-control grid” is eating the outage calendar
8Long reactor/line holds dominate while protection and hygiene failures still puncture the system. The operational insight: if voltage regulation is systematically pushing elements into prolonged holds, then the grid’s risk shifts from “high-frequency transient trips” to low-redundancy periods where a single protection mis-operation can bite harder.

7) WRPC’s reactive-money map tightened
8Until Maharashtra snapped from VAR earner to VAR payer, and the liability re-concentrated in a familiar corridor.

8) WR’s deviation bill went “smaller”
8But what got more dangerous: receivables collapsed, payables concentrated, and the region leaned harder on SR while bleeding to NR.

9) Western grid’s “gas + SCUC” week
8SRAS payout collapses while RLNG plants and SCUC settlements explode. Commercially, this is a week where being online and flexible is rewarded massively-unless your performance pushes you into persistent payables.

10) NER’s balancing bill is rising
8SCED pay-outs jump even as the system swings through deeper “refund days.” The commercial lever is obvious: when the grid is paying out more while also clawing back hard on specific days, forecasting error + dispatch responsiveness becomes the profit-and-penalty hinge. The structural tension: “clean” monthly REA requisitioning can coexist with messy intra-month balancing, and your traded narrative has to explain why

11) Karnataka drives G-DAM expansion as hydro exports surge and northern buyers retreat
8India’s Green-Day Ahead Market volumes held steady across November–December 2025 at roughly 778 MU, but regional flows flipped sharply. Karnataka’s green-power sales leapt +56% to 347 MU, offsetting reduced hydro and renewable dispatch from Himachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, and Sikkim. The persistence of state-level imbalances underscores the need for flexible scheduling and dynamic price discovery within India’s evolving green-market architecture.

12) India’s minimum-turn-down dispatch stabilises
8This is as NLDC’s October–November MTL corrections shrink by four-fifths

APCPDCL’s free agriculture sales rise 22 per cent in September as monsoon-linked irrigation demand surges

Jan 07: 8The surge coincides with peak irrigation months and the ramp-up of 9-hour and 15-hour rural feeders under APERC’s approved methodology. While higher volumes reflect better supply assurance to farmers, they also tighten the utility’s loss trajectory ahead of the FY26 energy-accounting true-up.

UHBVN’s FY 2024-25 Cost-of-Supply study reveals persistent cost divergence across consumer categories despite methodological maturity

Jan 07: 8The Haryana regulator’s embedded-cost approach for FY 2024-25 shows UHBVN’s average CoS at Rs 7.75 per kWh, with clear intra-category variation: agriculture and low-tension users remain above Rs 8.2, while high-tension consumers stand near Rs 7.1. By quantifying these cost drivers, UHBVN evidences where subsidies truly accrue and highlights the structural gap between cost and tariff recovery.

HESCOM’s FY 2024-25 performance shows widened loss amid higher power purchase costs and audit qualifications

Jan 07: 8HESCOM’s Annual Accounts for FY 2024-25 and its APR petition before KERC reveal a net deficit of Rs. 1,499.72 crore, driven by steep rise in power purchase expenses and interest liabilities. Revenue from sale of power was Rs. 4,601.9 crore while total income reached Rs. 7,552 crore against an aggregate ARR of Rs. 14,053 crore. Auditors M N S & Co. issued a qualified opinion highlighting unreconciled security deposits, unprovided deferred tax, and fraud loss exposures over Rs. 160 crore

CEA updates

Jan 07: 1) India’s electricity system scales past 520 GW as renewable capacity quadruples over a decade
8India’s power sector reached a consolidated installed capacity of 522.9 GW (utilities + captive) at end-FY 2023-24, marking a 6.2 % annual growth and a transformative shift in its composition. Renewables (excluding large hydro) surged to 143.6 GW, growing at a compound rate of 15 % since 2014, while thermal sources (243.2 GW) still supplied over three-quarters of all electricity generated. CEA’s review records gross utility generation of 1 734 TWh, supplemented by 224 TWh from captive plants, taking India’s total to 1 958 TWh in 2023-24. Transmission losses fell to 17.6 % of available energy, and per-capita consumption rose to 1 400 kWh, up 5.2 % y-o-y. The document signals the sector’s steady march toward universal access and diversified generation mix ahead of India’s energy-transition milestones for 2030.

2) Private capital and captive generation growth
8Private players now own over half of installed capacity, and industrial self-generation tops 80 GW - reducing grid dependence but necessitating new open-access and DSM mechanisms.

Merit stack hardens in November as multiple thermal and gas sellers lose dispatch share

Jan 07: 8According to MTL schedule calculation datasets for October and November 2025, the power system experienced a sharp re-ordering of dispatch priorities within a single month. Seller-wise 96-block schedules show steep reductions for major baseload stations such as BARH and BARH-I, alongside a near-complete withdrawal of BGTPP from the November merit stack. APM-linked gas sellers that were active in October saw no scheduling at all in November. The pattern indicates system-wide cost optimisation and commercial filtering rather than plant-specific outages.
