Market Round-up
Aug 19:
8Real-Time Prices Split the Day in Two
RTM on 2025-08-18 swung from Rs 0.41/kWh at 13:00 to Rs 5.63/kWh at 19:00; the day averaged Rs 2.87/kWh.
Inference: The extreme intraday span points to bid-side conditions and product-mix effects rather than system-wide stress.
Why it matters: Portfolio hedges that ignore intraday shape risk will leak value even when day-ahead looks “benign.”
8Day-Ahead Stayed Firm as Intraday Whipsawed
On 2025-08-18, DAM weighted MCP was Rs 4.48/kWh with 158,299 MWh scheduled, while RTM averaged Rs 2.87/kWh the same day.
Inference: Stable day-ahead clears alongside volatile real-time suggest demand certainty at D-1 with flexibility priced in RTM.
Why it matters: Split your procurement anchor in DAM, fine-tune in RTM rather than treating them as substitutes.
8Three Exchanges, One Day, Three Stories
PXIL RTM (2025-08-14) cleared 275 MWh at Rs 10.00/kWh; HPX RTM (2025-08-18) showed zero scheduled volume despite sell bids; IEX RTM (2025-08-18) cleared 153,031 MWh at Rs 2.87/kWh avg.
Inference: Liquidity and therefore price discovery remains concentrated on IEX, with PXIL showing episodic spikes and HPX thin prints.
Why it matters: OA buyers chasing “cheapest screen” risk slippage if they ignore exchange-specific depth.
8North’s Outage Book Is Heavy, Frequency Stayed Calm
On 2025-08-18 in NR, planned outages totalled 5.87 GW and forced 6.60 GW (12.47 GW combined). System-wide that day, mean frequency was 49.986 Hz; FDI 21.4.
Inference: Large unit outages did not spill into primary frequency stress pointing to reserves/load-gen alignment.
Why it matters: With outage risk internalised, price shocks won’t track headline MW unless reserves are thin.
8Assam Corridors Were Constrained a Third of Sunday
On 2025-08-17, NER-Assam TTC violations persisted for 28.6% of the day; ATC violations for 33.3%. DAM that day still printed Rs 2.78/kWh weighted pan-India.
Inference: Tightness was regional; national DAM stayed anchored by diversified supply and flow re-routing.
Why it matters: Buyers in NER face corridor-specific exposure even when all-India prices look soft.
8Eastern 765-kV Stayed Inside Band; North Had a Hotspot
On 2025-08-17, ER 765-kV nodes (e.g., Ranchi New, Jharsuguda) spent 100% of time within IEGC voltage band. On 2025-08-18, Chittorgarh showed 4.65% time above band.
Inference: Reactive control remains tight in ER, while a NW pocket needs tuning.
Why it matters: Voltage discipline lowers loss, improves transfer headroom, and dampens imbalance charges.
8Southern Hydro and Wind Did the Heavy Lifting
On 2025-08-18, Karnataka hydro 54.60 MU, Kerala hydro 35.23 MU, Tamil Nadu wind 113.78 MU. Meanwhile, HPX GDAM/HPDAM showed zeros across blocks.
Inference: SR balanced with scheduled hydro/RE rather than green exchange products, keeping procurement off-screen.
Why it matters: Asset-backed balancing can mute visible “green” liquidity buyers should track state supply stacks, not just GDAM prints.
8Station-Side Work Dominates NR Transmission Outages
On 2025-08-18, planned NR transmission outages skewed toward substations: 70 bays, 56 lines, 13 ICTs under the Planned sheet.
Inference: Utilities are prioritising node-level reliability (switchyards/transformers) over corridor outages prepping for shoulder-season flows.
Why it matters: Node hardening boosts resilience; corridor limits will bite only if dispatch surges past intra-regional thresholds.

4GW offshore leasing tender pulled back after clearance groundwork
8Despite securing multiple Stage-I clearances for Tamil Nadu blocks, the proposed international leasing auction under the National Offshore Wind Energy Policy will not proceed, resetting one of the largest Renewable projects in India and its seabed allocation plan.
8The first tranche of a central scheme for 500 MW grid-connected offshore capacity has been terminated, pausing early commercial-scale offshore wind integration into the ISTS network. This setback impacts Renewable projects in India at a time when the government is seeking to diversify clean energy portfolios.
8The shelving of two major RfS processes under a central agency delays developer entry into India’s offshore wind segment, including opportunities for technology transfer and survey investments. Such delays create uncertainty for Renewable projects in India, which were expected to open doors for global offshore wind players.
8Industry observers note that the decision marks a slowdown in offshore Renewable projects in India, even as solar and onshore wind continue to see aggressive expansion under national and state-level policies.

Facilitation - mode push to fast-track high-voltage corridor stretch
8A manpower-focused package under Indian power projects targets a critical 12 km chainage in a 765 kV interstate link under Power Grid’s WR-1 plan, aiming to synchronise delayed sections through expedited tower erection and stringing.
8The WR-1 segment of a 765 kV double-circuit line gets a dedicated execution package where contractors, under Indian power projects, work in facilitation mode to speed up lattice tower assembly and conductor stringing.
8A high-voltage transmission stretch under WR-1 follows a manpower-driven execution model designed to bring the chainage in line with adjoining completed sections, reflecting the urgency often seen in large Indian power projects.
8Unlike earlier full EPC scopes, this tender structure limits contractor responsibility to erection and stringing, with supply clearances and site readiness managed by the project owner a shift that highlights evolving facilitation practices in Indian power projects execution.
8Such facilitation-mode tenders are increasingly becoming part of Indian power projects strategy to overcome bottlenecks in critical high-voltage corridors.

8The project includes a greenfield 765/400kV station with 330MVAr bus reactors and spare provisions targeting reliability for bulk renewable flow to industrial off - take centers.
8Additional 220kV and 400kV line bays are slated for completion within 24 – 30 months creating early connection points for dedicated renewable lines ahead of full substation build-out.
8Two 330MVAr bus reactors including a switchable spare are embedded in the plan to manage voltage fluctuations from variable renewable sources.
Shift in compliance order alters transmission concession baseline
8The latest amendment replaces a 2024 Ministry of Power sourcing order reference with a 2020 directive in the Transmission Service Agreement potentially affecting OEM eligibility and procurement strategies for the high - capacity coastal evacuation scheme.
8Substituting the 2024 sourcing clause with an older 2020 provision could open the door for previously ineligible suppliers in the multi - kilometre coastal transmission project.
8The amendment reverts to a prior Ministry of Power order changing the reference framework for compliance and potentially shifting competitive positioning among bidders. Details

Daily round-up: Never before insights in how the power sector works

Coal Flex Is Now a Trading Desk
Everyone talks about coal plants as baseload. But the real story is SLDCs tactically under-scheduling mid-merit units to create optionality in RTM and HPDAM—treating thermal flexibility like a financial instrument. Watch how exchange spreads line up with ramp holds at pithead stations; that’s not an accident, that’s a strategy. The result: procurement teams, not turbines, are driving marginal prices.
Solar Noon Is Cheap—Reactive Power Isn’t
Midday looks comfortable on price, yet the grid’s reactive power bill balloons when solar floods the network. You can feel it in voltage deviation and capacitor bank dispatch rather than in DAM wedges. It’s the quiet tax of high-PV hours, and industries with large induction loads (cement, metals) are paying via hidden penalties and VAR settlements. Procurement wins on Rs/kWh; operations bleeds on vars/kVArh.
Hydro Isn’t Just Energy—It’s the Scarcity Premium
Hydro’s share may look small on a daily pie chart, but its five-block peaking window sets the day’s scarcity price. When pumped storage enters that window, it doesn’t follow DAM—it names it. That premium is migrating into contracts and banking terms, and states without hydro headroom will keep overpaying for flexibility even when average energy is cheap. Flex, not MWh, is the new currency.
Gas Plants Are Becoming the Grid’s “Soft Cap”
We’re seeing gas units sit just out of money until volatility spikes—then they clip the top of RTM like a price guardrail. Industrial PNG switching (versus propane or solid fuels) quietly changes that calculus by a few paise but flips entire blocks from “no-run” to “must-run.” When spot LNG tightens, expect RTM tails to fatten; when it loosens, peakers reappear and compress peaks. Gas isn’t dead—it’s a volatility valve.
DSM Is the Shadow Market No One Admits To
Daytime discipline looks fine on paper, but deviation spikes cluster exactly when operators reach for RTM imports. That’s not random error; that’s a forecasting and control gap being papered over with a penalty line item. The irony: buyers “save” on scheduled power, then leak it back via DSM. Fixing 15-minute forecasting beats any grand procurement reform on a rupee-for-rupee basis.
The New Congestion Tax
You can declare “no shortage” and still pay more because a single HVDC pole or 400-kV element pushes you into a pricier zone. The rent doesn’t show up in outages; it shows up in MCP differentials and congestion charges. When those deltas persist, they’re a capital plan in disguise—evidence for why a specific corridor upgrade yields real tariff relief. Forget slogans; show the zone spread curve and you win the argument.
Green OA Buyers Are Hollowing Out Exchange Liquidity at the Margins
Corporate PPAs and banking windows are shaving the best green blocks off GDAM before they ever hit the screen. What clears looks like “oversupply” and curtailment risk—but it’s really portfolio selection bias by sophisticated C&I desks. The exchange sees volume; the premium disappears upstream. For developers, merchant models must assume this silent skimming—or they’ll overpromise cash flows.
Agriculture Solarisation Is Bending the Curve Where You Don’t Look
Feeder solar pilots are nudging pump loads into the sunlit shoulder, easing evening peaks—but also deepening midday price troughs. DISCOMs love the relief, hate the revenue math: subsidies and cross-subsidies don’t shift as fast as the load does. The kicker is water—monsoon variability now maps onto exchange prices via irrigation behavior. Energy, agriculture, and rainfall just got braided into your MCP Details

Daily roundup: Evening peak stability masks a subtle frequency dip
Aug 12:
Evening Peak Stability Masks a Subtle Frequency Dip
8Even with zero declared shortage in the Southern Region’s 20:00 peak block, frequency sagged from 50.08 Hz in the afternoon to 49.92 Hz at peak. This suggests operators are holding load generation balance at the cost of deeper frequency excursions a hidden stress point not reflected in “demand met” figures.
DNH’s Chronic ATC & (N-1) Violations are an Outlier Among Zero-Breach States
8While all major Western Region states recorded zero ATC and contingency breaches, Dadra & Nagar Haveli posted >97% ATC violation and >70% (N-1) breach rates. This indicates either persistent transmission bottlenecks or unreported local demand spikes in an otherwise stable regional grid.
Ramp Rate Suppression in Off-Peak Hours Suggests Reserve Banking
8Generation unit logs show multiple coal stations capping ramp-up rates in the early-morning (03:00) off-peak despite surplus headroom. This likely reflects an operational choice to bank ramping capability for later peak integration, hinting at a more sophisticated reserve strategy.
Voltage Deviation Index Spikes at Non-Peak Times
8The highest VDI breaches in the Northern Region occurred in midday blocks rather than evening peaks counter to the usual pattern. This suggests reactive power management gaps during high solar injection periods, not just during demand surges.
Hydro Under-Commitment Despite Full Reservoirs in Eastern Region
8PSP (Pumped Storage Plant) status reports show >90% reservoir fullness in some ER hydro stations, yet their day-ahead schedules remain flatlined. This is an opportunity cost, especially with spot prices rising in shoulder hours where hydro could smooth volatility.
Persistent Zero-Shortage Reporting in High-Import States
8Certain states logged no shortages despite importing >1 GW during multiple blocks. This reflects a dependence on inter-state purchases to maintain “shortage-free” status masking underlying local generation inadequacy.
Congestion-Free Operation Despite Major Element Outages in SRLDC Data
8Southern Region ran congestion-free in market terms even with scheduled outages on key transmission elements. This could signal either overbuilt corridor redundancy or an overestimation of actual load stress in real-time dispatch planning.
Overdrawal Patterns Cluster Around Frequency Recovery Windows
8Analysis of deviation data shows that overdrawals in multiple states peak immediately after frequency recovers from sub-49.9 Hz dips. This suggests operators may be opportunistically pulling more power once grid frequency stabilises, potentially contributing to secondary instability

What ails India's electricity grid: Market gaming and forecasting errors are rampant
Aug 11:
Coal flexing meets a rising MCP — the new scheduling arbitrage
8Mid-day dispatchable coal was held below its usual envelope even as the day-ahead/real-time price trended up. The pattern points to SLDCs leaning on cheaper intraday purchases instead of own generation, then ramping thermal later for the evening peak. This is a sophisticated scheduling arbitrage that is becoming repeatable, not a one-off quirk.
Hydro is repricing flexibility, and the market is paying up
8Hydropeaking and evening blocks consistently clear at a premium to the DAM weighted average despite hydro’s modest share in the day’s mix. Cross-reading market snapshots with RLDC dispatch shows hydro being withheld until scarcity hours. Expect pumped-storage assets to monetize similar scarcity rents the moment they come online.
Green surplus by day, scarcity by night — and the arbitrage window is widening
8GDAM shows regular oversupply in sunny hours while RTM/DAM tightens in the evening. A coordinated buy-in-green/sell-in-peak strategy would have cleared multiple times today. The structural takeaway: as solar deepens and transmission lags, this two-shift market is turning into a daily trading system, not an occasional opportunity.
DSM pain clusters where RTM dependence is highest
8States leaning hardest on RTM to balance intraday errors are also showing outsized DSM exposures. Cross-mapping RLDC schedule deviations with exchange reliance flags a forecasting discipline gap: RTM is being used as a balancing crutch, yet frequency/error bands still get breached. Forecast quality, not just access to liquidity, is the differentiator.
Transmission outages now show up as price geography, not just UI stress
8When a key corridor or HVDC pole trips, market splitting and congestion rents jump in the same time blocks. RLDC/NLDC outage logs line up with exchange congestion prints to the minute. The policy implication is blunt: accelerating specific ISTS reinforcements will collapse persistent zone spreads faster than any tariff tweak.
Auxiliary consumption creeps up when coal is feathered — a hidden efficiency tax
8CEA’s aux-consumption indicators edge higher on days when thermal runs partial load to accommodate mid-day RE. That “feathering” keeps emissions lower than full-tilt coal, but station heat and internal use rise—quietly eroding some of the RE cost advantage. Unit-commitment rules and must-run protocols need to account for this system-wide efficiency penalty.
Exchange share is fragmenting right where volatility is juiciest
8RTM liquidity is no longer a single-venue story. HPX and PXIL take their largest bites in the very hours with the steepest price ramps, which means price discovery is diversifying precisely when it matters most. For traders and discoms, venue choice becomes part of the edge; for incumbents, the fee moat keeps thinning.
Curtailment risk for merchant RE is not just about offtake—it’s about the clock
8Sale bids in green markets routinely exceed cleared volumes in specific solar-heavy blocks, while the same day’s evening peak clears tight. The message for developers banking on merchant sales: haircut assumptions unless you physically hedge time-of-day. Without storage or firming contracts, half your “available” MWh may be stranded at zero or low price. Details

Market Round-up
Aug 19:
8Real-Time Prices Split the Day in Two
RTM on 2025-08-18 swung from Rs 0.41/kWh at 13:00 to Rs 5.63/kWh at 19:00; the day averaged Rs 2.87/kWh.
Inference: The extreme intraday span points to bid-side conditions and product-mix effects rather than system-wide stress.
Why it matters: Portfolio hedges that ignore intraday shape risk will leak value even when day-ahead looks “benign.”
8Day-Ahead Stayed Firm as Intraday Whipsawed
On 2025-08-18, DAM weighted MCP was Rs 4.48/kWh with 158,299 MWh scheduled, while RTM averaged Rs 2.87/kWh the same day.
Inference: Stable day-ahead clears alongside volatile real-time suggest demand certainty at D-1 with flexibility priced in RTM.
Why it matters: Split your procurement anchor in DAM, fine-tune in RTM rather than treating them as substitutes.
8Three Exchanges, One Day, Three Stories
PXIL RTM (2025-08-14) cleared 275 MWh at Rs 10.00/kWh; HPX RTM (2025-08-18) showed zero scheduled volume despite sell bids; IEX RTM (2025-08-18) cleared 153,031 MWh at Rs 2.87/kWh avg.
Inference: Liquidity and therefore price discovery remains concentrated on IEX, with PXIL showing episodic spikes and HPX thin prints.
Why it matters: OA buyers chasing “cheapest screen” risk slippage if they ignore exchange-specific depth.
8North’s Outage Book Is Heavy, Frequency Stayed Calm
On 2025-08-18 in NR, planned outages totalled 5.87 GW and forced 6.60 GW (12.47 GW combined). System-wide that day, mean frequency was 49.986 Hz; FDI 21.4.
Inference: Large unit outages did not spill into primary frequency stress pointing to reserves/load-gen alignment.
Why it matters: With outage risk internalised, price shocks won’t track headline MW unless reserves are thin.
8Assam Corridors Were Constrained a Third of Sunday
On 2025-08-17, NER-Assam TTC violations persisted for 28.6% of the day; ATC violations for 33.3%. DAM that day still printed Rs 2.78/kWh weighted pan-India.
Inference: Tightness was regional; national DAM stayed anchored by diversified supply and flow re-routing.
Why it matters: Buyers in NER face corridor-specific exposure even when all-India prices look soft.
8Eastern 765-kV Stayed Inside Band; North Had a Hotspot
On 2025-08-17, ER 765-kV nodes (e.g., Ranchi New, Jharsuguda) spent 100% of time within IEGC voltage band. On 2025-08-18, Chittorgarh showed 4.65% time above band.
Inference: Reactive control remains tight in ER, while a NW pocket needs tuning.
Why it matters: Voltage discipline lowers loss, improves transfer headroom, and dampens imbalance charges.
8Southern Hydro and Wind Did the Heavy Lifting
On 2025-08-18, Karnataka hydro 54.60 MU, Kerala hydro 35.23 MU, Tamil Nadu wind 113.78 MU. Meanwhile, HPX GDAM/HPDAM showed zeros across blocks.
Inference: SR balanced with scheduled hydro/RE rather than green exchange products, keeping procurement off-screen.
Why it matters: Asset-backed balancing can mute visible “green” liquidity buyers should track state supply stacks, not just GDAM prints.
8Station-Side Work Dominates NR Transmission Outages
On 2025-08-18, planned NR transmission outages skewed toward substations: 70 bays, 56 lines, 13 ICTs under the Planned sheet.
Inference: Utilities are prioritising node-level reliability (switchyards/transformers) over corridor outages prepping for shoulder-season flows.
Why it matters: Node hardening boosts resilience; corridor limits will bite only if dispatch surges past intra-regional thresholds.

8Developers are tasked with designing and installing a PV + BESS package at 3500m altitude, where temperature swings and derating effects can stress equipment. The tender scope spans engineering through long-term operation, underscoring the growing technical complexity of solar projects in India being planned in frontier geographies.
8With its hybrid configuration and altitude-specific challenges, this initiative is a strong example of how solar projects in India are evolving from plain vanilla PV to more advanced, integrated solutions.
Details
8A state transmission utility has once again extended the deadline for a major Indian power projects package. Covering three new 132 kV substations with associated transmission line projects, the bid submission has been pushed back first from August 18 and now till August 26. Such repeated extensions in substation projects highlight the complexity of site readiness and the challenges of contractor mobilization in large EPC contracts.
8With bidding now open till August 26, the three substation projects package offers a wide execution scope—from civil works to bay erection and SCADA integration. Contractors engaged in Indian power projects will need to balance transformer delivery timelines with simultaneous power transmission line execution.
8The tender stands out as a complete execution package, covering design, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of 132 kV transmission line projects. For developers and EPCs active in Indian power projects, this extension provides more time to align procurement with site execution.
Solar with storage push climbs to 7MW in high-altitude frontier
8A Ladakh-based public sector initiative is tendering a 7MW solar PV plant with a 9MWh battery system under the RESCO model. The tariff-based project extension gives developers extra time to recalibrate bids for complex grid integration. This adds to the momentum of solar projects in India, where hybrid PV-storage systems are increasingly gaining ground.
8The tender extends its deadline to 28 August, requiring bidders to deliver both generation and storage under a single RESCO package. Performance guarantees and long-term O&M obligations could raise financing challenges in remote terrain—issues often seen in solar projects in India that combine utility-scale deployment with storage mandates.

4GW offshore leasing tender pulled back after clearance groundwork
8Despite securing multiple Stage-I clearances for Tamil Nadu blocks, the proposed international leasing auction under the National Offshore Wind Energy Policy will not proceed, resetting one of the largest Renewable projects in India and its seabed allocation plan.
8The first tranche of a central scheme for 500 MW grid-connected offshore capacity has been terminated, pausing early commercial-scale offshore wind integration into the ISTS network. This setback impacts Renewable projects in India at a time when the government is seeking to diversify clean energy portfolios.
8The shelving of two major RfS processes under a central agency delays developer entry into India’s offshore wind segment, including opportunities for technology transfer and survey investments. Such delays create uncertainty for Renewable projects in India, which were expected to open doors for global offshore wind players.
8Industry observers note that the decision marks a slowdown in offshore Renewable projects in India, even as solar and onshore wind continue to see aggressive expansion under national and state-level policies.
8Despite securing multiple Stage-I clearances for Tamil Nadu blocks, the proposed international leasing auction under the National Offshore Wind Energy Policy will not proceed, resetting one of the largest Renewable projects in India and its seabed allocation plan.
8The first tranche of a central scheme for 500 MW grid-connected offshore capacity has been terminated, pausing early commercial-scale offshore wind integration into the ISTS network. This setback impacts Renewable projects in India at a time when the government is seeking to diversify clean energy portfolios.
8The shelving of two major RfS processes under a central agency delays developer entry into India’s offshore wind segment, including opportunities for technology transfer and survey investments. Such delays create uncertainty for Renewable projects in India, which were expected to open doors for global offshore wind players.

Facilitation - mode push to fast-track high-voltage corridor stretch
8A manpower-focused package under Indian power projects targets a critical 12 km chainage in a 765 kV interstate link under Power Grid’s WR-1 plan, aiming to synchronise delayed sections through expedited tower erection and stringing.
8The WR-1 segment of a 765 kV double-circuit line gets a dedicated execution package where contractors, under Indian power projects, work in facilitation mode to speed up lattice tower assembly and conductor stringing.
8A high-voltage transmission stretch under WR-1 follows a manpower-driven execution model designed to bring the chainage in line with adjoining completed sections, reflecting the urgency often seen in large Indian power projects.
8Unlike earlier full EPC scopes, this tender structure limits contractor responsibility to erection and stringing, with supply clearances and site readiness managed by the project owner a shift that highlights evolving facilitation practices in Indian power projects execution.
8Such facilitation-mode tenders are increasingly becoming part of Indian power projects strategy to overcome bottlenecks in critical high-voltage corridors.

Daily round-up: Never before insights in how the power sector works
Aug 13:
Coal Flex Is Now a Trading Desk
Everyone talks about coal plants as baseload. But the real story is SLDCs tactically under-scheduling mid-merit units to create optionality in RTM and HPDAM—treating thermal flexibility like a financial instrument. Watch how exchange spreads line up with ramp holds at pithead stations; that’s not an accident, that’s a strategy. The result: procurement teams, not turbines, are driving marginal prices.
Solar Noon Is Cheap—Reactive Power Isn’t
Midday looks comfortable on price, yet the grid’s reactive power bill balloons when solar floods the network. You can feel it in voltage deviation and capacitor bank dispatch rather than in DAM wedges. It’s the quiet tax of high-PV hours, and industries with large induction loads (cement, metals) are paying via hidden penalties and VAR settlements. Procurement wins on Rs/kWh; operations bleeds on vars/kVArh.
Hydro Isn’t Just Energy—It’s the Scarcity Premium
Hydro’s share may look small on a daily pie chart, but its five-block peaking window sets the day’s scarcity price. When pumped storage enters that window, it doesn’t follow DAM—it names it. That premium is migrating into contracts and banking terms, and states without hydro headroom will keep overpaying for flexibility even when average energy is cheap. Flex, not MWh, is the new currency.
Gas Plants Are Becoming the Grid’s “Soft Cap”
We’re seeing gas units sit just out of money until volatility spikes—then they clip the top of RTM like a price guardrail. Industrial PNG switching (versus propane or solid fuels) quietly changes that calculus by a few paise but flips entire blocks from “no-run” to “must-run.” When spot LNG tightens, expect RTM tails to fatten; when it loosens, peakers reappear and compress peaks. Gas isn’t dead—it’s a volatility valve.
DSM Is the Shadow Market No One Admits To
Daytime discipline looks fine on paper, but deviation spikes cluster exactly when operators reach for RTM imports. That’s not random error; that’s a forecasting and control gap being papered over with a penalty line item. The irony: buyers “save” on scheduled power, then leak it back via DSM. Fixing 15-minute forecasting beats any grand procurement reform on a rupee-for-rupee basis.
The New Congestion Tax
You can declare “no shortage” and still pay more because a single HVDC pole or 400-kV element pushes you into a pricier zone. The rent doesn’t show up in outages; it shows up in MCP differentials and congestion charges. When those deltas persist, they’re a capital plan in disguise—evidence for why a specific corridor upgrade yields real tariff relief. Forget slogans; show the zone spread curve and you win the argument.
Green OA Buyers Are Hollowing Out Exchange Liquidity at the Margins
Corporate PPAs and banking windows are shaving the best green blocks off GDAM before they ever hit the screen. What clears looks like “oversupply” and curtailment risk—but it’s really portfolio selection bias by sophisticated C&I desks. The exchange sees volume; the premium disappears upstream. For developers, merchant models must assume this silent skimming—or they’ll overpromise cash flows.
Agriculture Solarisation Is Bending the Curve Where You Don’t Look
Feeder solar pilots are nudging pump loads into the sunlit shoulder, easing evening peaks—but also deepening midday price troughs. DISCOMs love the relief, hate the revenue math: subsidies and cross-subsidies don’t shift as fast as the load does. The kicker is water—monsoon variability now maps onto exchange prices via irrigation behavior. Energy, agriculture, and rainfall just got braided into your MCP Details

Daily roundup: Evening peak stability masks a subtle frequency dip
Aug 12:
Evening Peak Stability Masks a Subtle Frequency Dip
8Even with zero declared shortage in the Southern Region’s 20:00 peak block, frequency sagged from 50.08 Hz in the afternoon to 49.92 Hz at peak. This suggests operators are holding load generation balance at the cost of deeper frequency excursions a hidden stress point not reflected in “demand met” figures.
DNH’s Chronic ATC & (N-1) Violations are an Outlier Among Zero-Breach States
8While all major Western Region states recorded zero ATC and contingency breaches, Dadra & Nagar Haveli posted >97% ATC violation and >70% (N-1) breach rates. This indicates either persistent transmission bottlenecks or unreported local demand spikes in an otherwise stable regional grid.
Ramp Rate Suppression in Off-Peak Hours Suggests Reserve Banking
8Generation unit logs show multiple coal stations capping ramp-up rates in the early-morning (03:00) off-peak despite surplus headroom. This likely reflects an operational choice to bank ramping capability for later peak integration, hinting at a more sophisticated reserve strategy.
Voltage Deviation Index Spikes at Non-Peak Times
8The highest VDI breaches in the Northern Region occurred in midday blocks rather than evening peaks counter to the usual pattern. This suggests reactive power management gaps during high solar injection periods, not just during demand surges.
Hydro Under-Commitment Despite Full Reservoirs in Eastern Region
8PSP (Pumped Storage Plant) status reports show >90% reservoir fullness in some ER hydro stations, yet their day-ahead schedules remain flatlined. This is an opportunity cost, especially with spot prices rising in shoulder hours where hydro could smooth volatility.
Persistent Zero-Shortage Reporting in High-Import States
8Certain states logged no shortages despite importing >1 GW during multiple blocks. This reflects a dependence on inter-state purchases to maintain “shortage-free” status masking underlying local generation inadequacy.
Congestion-Free Operation Despite Major Element Outages in SRLDC Data
8Southern Region ran congestion-free in market terms even with scheduled outages on key transmission elements. This could signal either overbuilt corridor redundancy or an overestimation of actual load stress in real-time dispatch planning.
Overdrawal Patterns Cluster Around Frequency Recovery Windows
8Analysis of deviation data shows that overdrawals in multiple states peak immediately after frequency recovers from sub-49.9 Hz dips. This suggests operators may be opportunistically pulling more power once grid frequency stabilises, potentially contributing to secondary instability

Capital cost swings reshape substation connectivity tender
8Revised land and bay equipment valuations slash one site’s obligation by over Rs.240 crore, while modest hikes at others tweak the cost balance for bidders in this 400kV GIS and multi-line build.
8Immediate surcharge after due date, plus a reworked rebate window, will alter working capital dynamics for contractors eyeing this 2×500MVA GIS and associated 220kV network.
8Cost revision at a central 220kV substation and static figures at others will fine tune the financial calculus for transmission developers in this Karnataka intra state expansion.
8From multi voltage GIS bays to new 220kV D/C lines and bay extensions at four substations, the scope continues to demand multi disciplinary execution capability.
Procurement norms tightened for major interstate transmission build
8A central BOOT based transmission package sees updated domestic sourcing rules and new border-compliance mandates, reshaping vendor eligibility in a multi GW RE evacuation plan in Madhya Pradesh.
8Latest amendment swaps earlier procurement directives with July2024 policy updates, raising the bar for component sourcing in a 35 - year operate and transfer transmission asset.
8Technical scope remains intact but vendor eligibility realigned under updated DPIIT backed domestic preference orders for high voltage transmission gear. Details

What ails India's electricity grid: Market gaming and forecasting errors are rampant
Aug 11:
Coal flexing meets a rising MCP — the new scheduling arbitrage
8Mid-day dispatchable coal was held below its usual envelope even as the day-ahead/real-time price trended up. The pattern points to SLDCs leaning on cheaper intraday purchases instead of own generation, then ramping thermal later for the evening peak. This is a sophisticated scheduling arbitrage that is becoming repeatable, not a one-off quirk.
Hydro is repricing flexibility, and the market is paying up
8Hydropeaking and evening blocks consistently clear at a premium to the DAM weighted average despite hydro’s modest share in the day’s mix. Cross-reading market snapshots with RLDC dispatch shows hydro being withheld until scarcity hours. Expect pumped-storage assets to monetize similar scarcity rents the moment they come online.
Green surplus by day, scarcity by night — and the arbitrage window is widening
8GDAM shows regular oversupply in sunny hours while RTM/DAM tightens in the evening. A coordinated buy-in-green/sell-in-peak strategy would have cleared multiple times today. The structural takeaway: as solar deepens and transmission lags, this two-shift market is turning into a daily trading system, not an occasional opportunity.
DSM pain clusters where RTM dependence is highest
8States leaning hardest on RTM to balance intraday errors are also showing outsized DSM exposures. Cross-mapping RLDC schedule deviations with exchange reliance flags a forecasting discipline gap: RTM is being used as a balancing crutch, yet frequency/error bands still get breached. Forecast quality, not just access to liquidity, is the differentiator.
Transmission outages now show up as price geography, not just UI stress
8When a key corridor or HVDC pole trips, market splitting and congestion rents jump in the same time blocks. RLDC/NLDC outage logs line up with exchange congestion prints to the minute. The policy implication is blunt: accelerating specific ISTS reinforcements will collapse persistent zone spreads faster than any tariff tweak.
Auxiliary consumption creeps up when coal is feathered — a hidden efficiency tax
8CEA’s aux-consumption indicators edge higher on days when thermal runs partial load to accommodate mid-day RE. That “feathering” keeps emissions lower than full-tilt coal, but station heat and internal use rise—quietly eroding some of the RE cost advantage. Unit-commitment rules and must-run protocols need to account for this system-wide efficiency penalty.
Exchange share is fragmenting right where volatility is juiciest
8RTM liquidity is no longer a single-venue story. HPX and PXIL take their largest bites in the very hours with the steepest price ramps, which means price discovery is diversifying precisely when it matters most. For traders and discoms, venue choice becomes part of the edge; for incumbents, the fee moat keeps thinning.
Curtailment risk for merchant RE is not just about offtake—it’s about the clock
8Sale bids in green markets routinely exceed cleared volumes in specific solar-heavy blocks, while the same day’s evening peak clears tight. The message for developers banking on merchant sales: haircut assumptions unless you physically hedge time-of-day. Without storage or firming contracts, half your “available” MWh may be stranded at zero or low price. Details
