NHPC’s Parbati-II tariff recovery curbed amid massive delay overhang
Feb 06:
8Instead of allowing the standard 90% interim tariff, the Commission limited recovery to 75%, citing the unusually large share of financing costs embedded in the project’s capital base.
8The ruling signals a tougher regulatory stance on legacy hydro delays entering the new tariff period.

Kerala moves to lock long-term power adequacy under binding planning rules
Feb 06:
8Kerala’s power regulator has unveiled a draft framework that formally shifts the state into structured, forward-looking resource adequacy planning. Distribution utilities will now be required to forecast demand over a 10-year horizon and tie up firm capacity aligned with national planning reserve margins.

Northern grid disturbances shift from equipment failures to inverter-driven instability between December and January
Feb 06:
8The most striking anomaly was a nearly 3.8 GW instantaneous RE generation loss in Rajasthan during a voltage dip and overvoltage cascade. For operators and regulators, the tension is no longer just equipment reliability, but dynamic stability in a grid with rapidly rising inverter-based generation.

Market Round-up
Feb 06:
1) Morning DAM blowout priced a scarcity premium long before RTM cleared it
8DAM MCP jumped to Rs 8.70/kWh at 07:30–07:45 (T31–T32), while RTM for the same blocks cleared at Rs 5.35/kWh and Rs 5.00/kWh.
Inference: The premium looks “forward” (DAM) rather than real-time (RTM): DAM purchase bids stayed far above sell bids through the spike window, signalling tight sell-side depth into the morning ramp.
Why it matters: a Rs 3.70/kWh DAM–RTM basis at T32 is pure forecasting cost for buyers who could have leaned on RTM.
2) DAM hit a hard regime break after 08:00; volatility was not “smooth”
8After the spike, DAM MCP dropped from Rs 6.25/kWh (08:00, T33) to Rs 3.94/kWh (08:45, T36) in under an hour.
Inference: This looks like a cleared-supply catch-up (sell side recovering) rather than demand collapse, because scheduled volumes stayed sizable while prices mean-reverted sharply.
Why it matters: it increases the value of intra-day re-optimisation; static DAM positions were punished on both sides of the break.
3) Real-time balancing stayed “heavy” all day even without an obvious shortage headline
8NLDC’s ancillary/SCUC daily sheet shows SCUC-Up scheduled 48,162 MWh and SCUC-Down scheduled −48,103 MWh on 2026-02-05.
Inference: Near-symmetric up/down energy points to continuous re-balancing (commitment + de-commitment) rather than one-direction scarcity.
Why it matters: this kind of churn typically amplifies RTM price sensitivity and raises balancing risk for states riding close to schedules.
4) HPX ASDAM printed “zero market” blocks — a liquidity signal, not a footnote
8HPX ASDAM shows 0.0000 MWh cleared across successive 15-minute blocks on 05/02/2026 (market effectively absent at block level).
Inference: With DAM/RTM price discovery happening elsewhere the same day, this looks like liquidity concentration risk: fewer venues meaningfully set short-term prices.
Why it matters: thin venues can’t absorb stress when one exchange tightens, raising systemic execution risk for participants.
5) PXIL IDAS showed bids but no cleared price/volume — a fragmentation warning
8PXIL’s IDAS volume profile lists sell bids (e.g., 104.50 MWh at 00:00–00:15) but shows MCV/Scheduled Volume/MCP.
Inference: This pattern is consistent with order-book presence without matchable counterparties (or a no-trade day for the product).
Why it matters: partial liquidity creates false comfort in “available” supply while forcing actual procurement into other, potentially costlier routes.
6) NER frequency compliance was weak on 2026-02-04 — 26% of time outside IEGC band
8NER FDI sheet reports frequency outside 49.9–50.05 Hz for 26.08% of the day (6.15 hours), with min 49.83 Hz and max 50.27 Hz.
Inference: The tail risk is not about average frequency (reported 50.01 Hz), but about time spent outside the band — a control quality issue.
Why it matters: sustained excursions increase deviation exposure and undermine confidence in “stable grid” claims built only on averages.
7) High scheduled drawal plus meaningful OD/UD clustered in a few big states
8NLDC PSP state table shows large drawal schedules alongside material OD/UD: Maharashtra 199.4 MU schedule with −2.9 MU OD/UD; Rajasthan 99.0 MU with −4.8 MU; Tamil Nadu 220.7 MU with +0.8 MU (all on 2026-02-05).
Inference: These are “high-throughput” states where small percentage errors convert into big absolute deviations, especially during ramp hours.
Why it matters: the same states are the first to transmit balancing stress into market prices and ancillary deployments.
8) DAM–RTM basis widening followed RTM moves with a 1-block lag (statistically, not rhetorically)
8Using the full 96-block MCP series on 2026-02-05, the DAM–RTM basis shows a 1-block lag correlation ~ρ=0.49 with RTM MCP (0–8 block scan), crossing your |ρ|≥0.35 flag.
Inference: RTM volatility appears to “pull” the basis wider in the next block more than it is purely simultaneous — consistent with buyers re-pricing forward exposure after seeing RTM.
Why it matters: procurement teams can’t treat DAM and RTM as independent levers intra-day; the basis is reactive and can snowball.

Power Committee Updates
Feb 06:
1) NR’s deviation economics flipped in a week: the WR–NR rent collapsed-and Delhi quietly became the week’s biggest ‘discipline winner’
8This reads like a grid that tightened one set of deviations (especially inter-regional) while exposing a second-order truth: NR’s “discipline” is still entity-specific, not systemic-so the money just rotates to the next weakest participant.
2) Delhi’s reactive bill collapses, but the pool’s receivable stack grows-UP and NTPC tighten their grip on VAR money flow
8This fortnight reads like a grid whose reactive economics are tightening into a few large sinks and a handful of volatile payers, with Delhi’s swing the cleanest behavioural change on the payable side.
3) WR’s transmission “availability” story is being propped up by month-long deemed outages-while the real risk is drifting into weather, pollution, and asset-health failures
8The grid’s fragility shows up more sharply through environment-driven faults-kite thread marks, stubble-burning fly-ash induced faults, and temperature-linked equipment limitations-signalling that “externalities” are now operational variables.
4) January in East India closes with a split-screen incentive story: a few units mint “peak-eligible” value while legacy stations bleed negative eligibility and push the bill back onto beneficiaries
8The structural tension: the region’s incentive pool is being distorted by persistent off-peak negatives (seen repeatedly in totals and beneficiary rows), so the grid is implicitly rewarding a narrow slice of operational behaviour while penalising broad, recurring scheduling patterns
5) Recertified Eastern region data: APNRL’s DC story flips from “data correction risk” in Dec to “higher declaration, higher surrender” in Jan-buyers aren’t absorbing what’s being certified
8Net-net, this pack reads less like a generator performance note and more like a demand discipline and data-governance stress test-first through revision, then through under-absorption.

Miscellaneous Update: Part I
Feb 06:
1) POWERGRID collapses 17 transmission SPVs into two entities under MCA-approved merger
8Operationally, it signals a shift from fragmented SPV structures toward tighter portfolio aggregation. Regulators and lenders will now evaluate these assets under fewer but larger corporate shells.
2) Northern states gain central power share as India’s allocation pool expands modestly in January
8The pattern signals seasonal and regulatory rebalancing of central resources toward northern demand centres.
3) India’s winter peak climbs past 245 GW as northern demand drives seasonal system stress
8The combined data signals a grid entering a high-demand quarter with tightening regional balances but no nationwide deficit.
4) APGENCO extends key APPC engineering deputation to maintain procurement continuity
8It has formally extended the deputation of a mechanical engineering officer at the state power procurement wing, preventing a staffing gap at a sensitive operational node.
5) Temporary promotions at APGENCO tied to court outcomes and strict joining rules
8It has issued temporary promotion orders elevating four Deputy Executive Engineers to Executive Engineer rank while simultaneously shifting one senior officer through a transfer.
6) Maharashtra transmission utility moves to embed policy and planning expertise
8It has initiated the hiring of two high-level consultants to strengthen its internal analytical and planning capacity.
7) Rajasthan Roundup: Chhabra thermal plant reports broad EC compliance but flags partial safeguards
8AVVNL eases bond exit rule for staff joining government services
8) Delhi gas plant seeks tariff relief after PLF collapse despite high availability
8Fuel cost pressures and take-or-pay gas commitments have amplified the financial strain. Additional O&M burdens from emission-control burners and sewage treatment operations are also being claimed.

Regulatory Updates: Part I
Feb 06:
1) Karnataka regulator opens scrutiny window on utility performance costs
8Karnataka’s power regulator has triggered a statewide review cycle that could reshape how utility cost overruns translate into consumer tariffs.
2) Rising procurement costs and loss spike squeeze MPSEZ’s distribution margins in Q3
8The most striking shift is the T&D loss increase from 2.54% to 4.05%, signalling a sudden deterioration in network efficiency, and there are other striking issues as well.
3) TNERC orders high interest payout, clears short-term power buys
8Tamil Nadu’s power regulator has enforced financial discipline on delayed generator payments while simultaneously securing near-term power supply for the state grid.
4) Tamil Nadu regulator clears 1,500 MW medium-term power hedge
8Tamil Nadu’s power regulator has approved a significant expansion of medium-term power procurement, allowing the state utility to secure 1,500 MW of round-the-clock supply under competitive bidding. The decision adds 700 MW to an earlier 800 MW approval, consolidating both into a single five-year tender.
5) CERC trims Fatehabad asset base while locking in new five-year transmission tariffs
8A modest but notable capital adjustment was imposed through disallowance of excess initial spares, slightly reducing the regulatory asset value.
6) CERC moves to license major NR–WR grid strengthening corridor
8The project centers on a new 765 kV Prayagraj substation and multiple line integrations that reshape existing power flows across Uttar Pradesh and adjoining regions.

Who says gas based units do not run in the winters?
Feb 05:
8There is common chatter that gas-based power backs off in winter because it’s expensive.
8But this power unit's consumption went from zero to a massive 1.4 mmscmd of gas
8And all of it is APM gas. And there is no gas for fertilizers, for which the govenment pays straight from the exchequer.

Miscellaneous Update: Part I
Feb 05:
1) Powergrid moves dormant shareholder stakes toward IEPF transfer window.
8The action reflects regulatory enforcement of dormant capital migration into public protection mechanisms
2) POWERGRID locks inter-regional grid corridor via Rs 19.63 crore SPV acquisition>
8The system expansion involves high-capacity 765 kV lines across Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, reinforcing a critical east-south power transfer pathway.
3) Power purchase cost creep in November pushes Madhya Pradesh into January surcharge cycle
8The surcharge reflects a regulatory design that automatically transfers even modest system-wide cost overruns to end consumers within a two-month lag.
4) WBSEDCL showcases expansion drive as solar, service, and security initiatives advance
8The broader signal is a utility balancing growth messaging with credibility building in a politically sensitive service sector.
5) CESC lines up investor roadshows ahead of February market outreach cycle
8For analysts and institutional investors, these forums typically serve as platforms to probe regulatory risk, cost recovery outlook, and growth pipelines.
6) Kerala utility tightens control over who can supply grid hardware

Regulatory Updates: Part I
Feb 05:
1) Kerala regulator locks five-year bulk supply pact for Thrissur distributor
8The structure places emphasis on measured maximum demand across multiple substations rather than feeder-wise limits.
2) Tamil Nadu regulator clears emergency coal power costs through tariff pass-through
8It confirms that crisis-driven fuel price volatility can still flow into consumer tariffs when backed by central directives.
3) TNERC blocks TANGEDCO’s retrospective solar audit recovery demand
8The decision signals that audit corrections cannot override the commercial finality of grid-accepted renewable energy flows.
4) TNERC clears short-term power purchase, locks TNPDCL into strict cost discipline
8The order reinforces a broader regulatory push toward procurement discipline rather than post-facto cost recovery flexibility.
5) TNERC stretches e-filing software rollout timeline, eases bidder eligibility window
8It signals a cautious digital transformation path where schedule realism now outweighs calendar-driven deployment.

Market Round-up
Feb 05:
1) DAM–RTM basis flipped sign in 24 hours, widening the scheduling risk premium
8On 2026-02-04, DAM MCP rose to Rs 3.45/kWh while RTM MCP fell to Rs 2.74/kWh, flipping the basis from the prior day.
Inference: With lower real-time imbalance pressure earlier, the swing points to day-ahead overcommitment followed by real-time correction.
Why it matters: A Rs 0.71/kWh spread penalises inaccurate demand forecasting and raises avoidable power purchase cost for DISCOMs that over-schedule in DAM.
2) GDAM cleared above DAM on the peak day, hinting at green scarcity pricing
8On 2026-02-04, GDAM MCP printed Rs 3.60/kWh, above DAM’s Rs 3.45/kWh.
Inference: Buyers appear to have paid a clean-energy premium due to constrained matching of time-specific green supply.
Why it matters: Persistent GDAM premiums can inflate renewable procurement costs and distort short-term compliance economics for obligated entities.
3) HPDAM showed sell interest but zero clearing all week - hydro value stayed “on paper”
8From 2026-01-29 to 2026-02-04, HPDAM shows ~133–136 GWh/day sell bids, but MCV and scheduled volume remained zero.
Inference: Hydro flexibility was offered but price or system constraints prevented trade execution.
Why it matters: Idle hydro bids shift balancing burden to RTM and DSM, increasing price volatility and deviation settlement exposure.
4) Thermal under-delivery forced hydro to shoulder Southern region balancing
8On 2026-02-03, Southern thermal output was 734.22 MU vs 938.34 MU program (-21.25%).
Inference: Hydro over-performance cushioned thermal shortfall, indicating dispatch stress rather than demand collapse.
Why it matters: Hydro used for balancing instead of peak arbitrage reduces its future price-smoothing role, raising intraday market volatility risk.
5) Coal stock stress surfaced in Rajasthan despite zero national shortage
8On 2026-02-03, Chhabra units held only 64–72% of normative coal stock.
Inference: Plants with low stock face higher forced market dependence during ramp events.
Why it matters: Coal stress quietly shifts cost from generation to exchanges, potentially adding Rs 0.40–0.80/kWh to marginal procurement during tight hours.
6) Maharashtra alone showed ATC violations while peers stayed within limits
8On 2026-02-04, Maharashtra recorded 5 ATC violation blocks while most states reported zero.
Inference: Corridor-specific stress rather than all-India congestion drove the breach.
Why it matters: Local ATC binding can inflate regional MCPs and increase area-specific congestion charges, raising landed power cost.
7) Frequency average looked stable, but low-side excursions dominated the day
8Average frequency was 50.008 Hz, yet 181 low-frequency excursions occurred versus 146 high-side events.
Inference: Downward stress events were more frequent, indicating higher balancing demand.
Why it matters: Frequent low-side excursions increase reliance on fast reserves and ancillary services, adding hidden system operation costs that later surface in tariffs.
8) Northern states showed opposite PX/RTM positions in the same off-peak window
8At 03:00 on 2026-02-04, Uttar Pradesh showed -2,310 MW PX/RTM/STOA position, while Punjab showed +1,350 MW.
Inference: States adopted divergent balancing strategies under similar grid conditions.
Why it matters: Such divergence raises settlement volatility and DSM exposure, potentially widening inter-state procurement cost gaps.

Power Committee Updates
Feb 05:
1) NER’s dispatch economics flipped: SCED net payouts collapsed even as down-dispatch dominated
8This is a tightening mismatch between “who the grid curtails” and “who ends up paying.
2) WR’s ancillary pool turned into a two-speed market: SCUC kept minting winners, while TRAS discipline deteriorated into an “Emergency-heavy” penalty week
8The grid looks like it is buying reliability in SCUC while charging for indiscipline in TRAS-and in the latest week, the “indiscipline” component spilled more visibly into Emergency-tagged outcomes.
3) From audit fatigue to fault cascades: Eastern grid’s protection architecture is breaking at the edges
8The PCC is now moving from coordination to coercion-through expanded third-party audits, forced setting reviews, and direct letters to defaulting utilities.
4) ER’s DSM week was quietly recapitalised by one state-and brutally destabilised by one corridor
8ER’s DSM is no longer a “state-by-state story” alone-inter-regional exposure is the dominant risk surface and it is being corrected post-facto, not prevented upstream.

India’s invisible megawatts: How captive and rooftop power finally forced themselves into the grid conversation
Feb 04:
8The discussion exposes a quiet governance gap: CEIs, SLDCs, DISCOMs, and developers all hold fragments of the truth, but no one owns the full picture. The proposed data architecture-pilots, smart meters, AMR systems, and developer-led platforms-signals a shift from ad-hoc reporting to quasi-real-time surveillance. Yet beneath the technical optimism lie unresolved cost burdens, data ownership questions, and regulatory exposure that could reshape captive economics and rooftop solar’s grid relationship.

CERC Updates
Feb 04:
1) CERC resets Southern grid strengthening tariffs after capital cost corrections
8The ruling reinforces CERC’s stance on disciplined cost norms, especially around spares and deferred liabilities.
2) CERC trims reactor asset base, resets northern grid charges for new control period
8The ruling reinforces CERC’s hard line on capital discipline before the new tariff block begins. It also signals continued scrutiny of legacy cost padding in mature interstate assets
3) CERC clears litigation-driven cost surge in Southern grid strengthening asset
8The move reinforces that legal risk in transmission projects ultimately migrates into regulated revenue streams.
4) CERC locks revised tariff path for Wardha fault-control transmission upgrade
8It signals that even non-capacity-augmenting works are subject to full tariff scrutiny as grid complexity rises.
5) CERC resets Powergrid Jharkhand–Bengal transmission tariff across two regulatory cycles
8The decision signals continued emphasis on prudence review over mechanical tariff pass-throughs.
6) CERC resets ERSS-VII tariffs, clears Rs 26 lakh carry-over costs into new cycle
8The regulatory signal is one of continuity - no reopening of old disputes, only structured pass-through of verified residuals
7) CERC resets Northeast grid upgrade tariffs, lowers past charges, sets leaner next cycle
8The broader signal is a regulator intent on compression of transmission carrying costs while preserving equity returns.
8) CERC trims legacy tariff base, stabilises spare asset charges for new control period
8The order signals a continued regulatory preference for cost containment in legacy grid assets rather than expansion-driven recovery. It also reinforces discipline on post-COD capital claims.
9) CERC resets ERSS-XVII tariffs as Powergrid costs move into new control period
8The ruling signals continuity rather than reform - but locks in cost visibility for the next five years.
10) CERC resets NERSS-II tariffs, clears legacy dues and locks five-year cost recovery
8The ruling reinforces regulatory preference for financial closure discipline over fresh capex expansion in mature transmission schemes.
11) CERC resets Western Region transmission costs, merges nine grid assets for new tariff cycle
8The regulator has reaffirmed cost-plus transmission recovery but with sharper reconciliation of contractor liabilities and delayed capitalisation flows.
12) CERC clears petition revision but locks in tight January filing deadlines
8The move underscores a regulatory preference for procedural discipline over timeline extensions in active generation tariff matters. For the generator, the revision opportunity comes with limited room for delay or iterative correction.

8The ruling reinforces CERC’s stance on disciplined cost norms, especially around spares and deferred liabilities.
2) CERC trims reactor asset base, resets northern grid charges for new control period
8The ruling reinforces CERC’s hard line on capital discipline before the new tariff block begins. It also signals continued scrutiny of legacy cost padding in mature interstate assets
3) CERC clears litigation-driven cost surge in Southern grid strengthening asset
8The move reinforces that legal risk in transmission projects ultimately migrates into regulated revenue streams.
4) CERC locks revised tariff path for Wardha fault-control transmission upgrade
8It signals that even non-capacity-augmenting works are subject to full tariff scrutiny as grid complexity rises.
5) CERC resets Powergrid Jharkhand–Bengal transmission tariff across two regulatory cycles
8The decision signals continued emphasis on prudence review over mechanical tariff pass-throughs.
6) CERC resets ERSS-VII tariffs, clears Rs 26 lakh carry-over costs into new cycle
8The regulatory signal is one of continuity - no reopening of old disputes, only structured pass-through of verified residuals

Miscellaneous Update: Part I
Feb 04:
1) Coal Ministry opens door to insurance bonds as mining performance security
8The change affects competitive tariff-linked coal blocks, including projects supplying ultra mega power plants.
2) Coal ministry lifts December index as coking grades outpace thermal benchmarks
8The direction, however, signals that industrial fuel markets are regaining pricing strength faster than the power sector.
3) Khavda Phase-II link goes live, unlocking 4.5 GW renewable evacuation capacity
8At the system level, it signals continued prioritisation of high-capacity RE corridors over conventional expansion.
4) India’s smart metering drive crosses 5.46 crore installs but mega states lag
8The disparity signals emerging pressure points in funding flows, vendor capacity allocation, and state-level reform readiness.
5) G-DAM volumes rise in January as buyer mix flips and C&I selling accelerates
8The pattern suggests portfolio and procurement repositioning rather than a documented operational disruption.
6) Eastern coal fleet captures SCED gains as southern units absorb deeper backing down in December
8The pattern suggests a system shift where eastern coal economics dominated real-time optimisation, pushing southern units down the merit stack.
7) RVPN defends asset carve-out as RTIL seeks separate transmission licence
8The outcome may signal how Rajasthan handles future structural unbundling within its grid infrastructure.
8) RVPN defends transmission demerger, pushes tariff questions to future proceedings
8For DISCOMs and consumers, the financial ripple effects remain undefined at this stage. The Commission now faces a decision on whether to separate structural approval from tariff accountability.
9) Jodhpur Discom corrects billing linkage for November FPPAS recovery
8It also reflects regulatory sensitivity around billing period integrity under the RERC framework.
10) Coal still anchors Rajasthan dispatch as one major NTPC unit shows cost stress
8For Rajasthan SLDC and state utilities, the data signals continued dependence on central coal allocations while gas remains structurally sidelined.
11) Kerala’s state utility posts profit on government support amid mounting regulatory gap
8The tension between political tariff restraint and financial sustainability is becoming more visible.

Power Committee Updates
Feb 04:
1) West Bengal’s reactive bill collapses - but the pool imbalance doesn’t: Bihar, Kahalgaon and Odisha quietly take over the VAR cashflow
8The pool is becoming a mirror of grid voltage management - and it’s reflecting instability pockets, not average performance.
2) The ER grid’s “quiet instability”: DSM pool stays positive, but the real stress is migrating into inter-regional settlement and dispatch-side make-good mechanisms
8The structural tension is clear: DSM looks “settled”, but scarcity is being priced through ancillary and commitment constructs, creating a two-layer discipline regime-payments move, but reliability signals are bleeding into other accounts.
3) NER’s allocation envelope tightens in Jan: the headline isn’t one plant-it’s the shrinking “total power” canvas and what it does to discipline
8January reads like an allocation stress-test-not because the sheet screams with exceptions, but because the macro ceiling falls and every sub-allocation becomes a potential grievance point.
4) WRPC’s pool flipped from SCUC-dominant surplus to shortfall-driven stress - even as the same winners kept collecting
8And the repeated behavioural issue is the persistence of large negative contributors (multiple VSTPS units, Sipat, NSPCL) - the same names, same direction signature that looks less like noise and more like a structural operating posture.
5) WR’s DSM bill didn’t “improve”-it collapsed: inter-regional stress cooled, and renewables stopped bleeding (for now)
8Operationally, the risk isn’t this week’s lower bill-it’s the volatility signal: the account shows WR can swing from heavy net payable to near-flat in seven days, which usually means the control problem has shifted-not vanished.
6) One flagship block stayed rock-solid-while another faceplanted to 45% availability, forcing the month’s ‘virtual’ balancing to do the heavy lifting in the West’s REA-based ABT
8Net-net, the grid’s meaning for the latest period is uncomfortable: operational stability is being maintained-but the reliability margin is concentrating, and concentration is what breaks first when the next unit trips.
7) Chhattisgarh’s VAR shock flips polarity- and quietly rewrites Western Region’s “discipline map” in a single week
8And the structural tension remains: state-level pay/receive can flip fast, but the persistent payer set (especially Gujarat) suggests deeper VAR management and network/reactive control constraints that weekly settlement alone won’t cure.
8) January’s scheduling story in NRPC: the virtual stack flipped from “support” to “stress”-with TRAS/SCUC turning into a visible corrective hand across flagship NR stations
8The repeated behavioural issue is that the virtual stack keeps appearing as a balancing tool rather than an exception-suggesting structural reliance on optimisation layers where beneficiary discipline should have carried the load.
9) Southern Region’s reactive pool tightens: net receivable jumps-driven by Karnataka + Andhra, while Tamil Nadu flips from payer to major claimant
8This is the kind of weekly pattern that quietly rewires incentives: reactive discipline becomes a tradable edge-until the pool starts signalling “persistent winners” and “repeat offenders” with uncomfortable consistency.
10) From Telangana tailwind to Tamil Nadu windfall: the DSM pool flips its biggest payer/receiver map in one week
8Week-on-week, the Southern Region’s DSM story isn’t “volatility”-it’s a clean redistribution of who is funding discipline and who is cashing it.

Market Round-up
Feb 04:
1) RTM blows out over DAM as net exports shrink during the morning ramp
8RTM MCP hit Rs 8.51/kWh at Hour 7 (DAM at the same hour: Rs 5.73/kWh) on 2026-02-03.
Inference: All-India net exchange flipped “less export” as RTM spiked (from -2,020 MW at 00:00 to -1,294 MW at 07:00), tightening the system right when demand jumped above 209 GW.
Why it matters: a ~Rs 2.77/kWh RTM–DAM basis at a peak hour is a direct procurement risk for RTM-exposed buyers and a stress-signal for balancing depth.
2) A second price regime hits at 18:00 as export cushion collapses again
8RTM MCP stepped up from Rs 4.37/kWh (17:45) to Rs 8.68/kWh (18:00) on 2026-02-03.
Inference: The jump lines up with net exchange moving sharply toward zero (export shrinking to ~-1.34 GW at 18:00), while frequency softened into 49.95–49.96 Hz by 18:30–18:45.
Why it matters: this is a clean “regime break” signature-buyers relying on late-day RTM cover face sudden cost shocks without an obvious corridor-constraint trigger.
3) “No ATC/(N-1) violations” masks a voltage problem at a solar hub
8The system reliability report shows 0 hours of ATC and (N-1) violations on major corridors for 2026-02-03.
Inference: Yet Bhadla II sat outside the IEGC voltage band for 17.71% of the day, a local stress that corridor indices don’t capture.
Why it matters: market participants can see “congestion-free” dashboards while still paying for voltage management risk that hits dispatch flexibility and renewable evacuation.
4) Ancillary SCUC volumes signal heavy balancing-even before you see the price
8SCUC schedules show SCUC-Up = 41,992 MWh and SCUC-Down = -41,991 MWh for 2026-02-03.
Inference: That “up/down symmetry” screams continuous re-balancing, consistent with the day’s sharp RTM basis events (morning and 18:00 step) rather than a single isolated disturbance.
Why it matters: when balancing energy is this large, RTM becomes the cost-pass-through channel; any liquidity thinning can turn routine balancing into headline volatility.
5) Big thermal outages sit in the background while buyers fight for RTM cover
8On 2026-02-02, multiple 660 MW units are listed under maintenance/forced categories (e.g., Jawaharpur STPP Unit-1 & Unit-2, Chhabra-II TPP Unit-6).
Inference: With large units unavailable entering 2026-02-03, the system has less thermal “shock absorber,” making net-exchange swings and balancing actions more price-visible in RTM.
Why it matters: outage-driven tightness doesn’t need a corridor violation to hurt-costs show up as RTM spikes and a wider intraday basis.
6) Smaller exchanges go dark-price discovery concentrates, volatility risk rises
8PXIL shows RTM MCP = Rs 10.00/kWh on 2026-02-02 with just 190 MWh scheduled; on 2026-02-03, PXIL RTM shows no trades.
Inference: HPX RTM snapshot lists zero bids and zero cleared volume even on 2026-02-03.
Why it matters: thin or absent trading outside the dominant venue reduces “pressure-release valves”-stress concentrates, and RTM spikes become harder to arbitrage away.
7) Rajasthan posts a positive UI day while running heavy thermal + solar-quiet imbalance risk
8In NR’s daily report for 2026-02-03, Rajasthan shows UI = +0.84 MU with generation dominated by thermal (152.02 MU) and sizable solar (43.81 MU).
Inference: A positive UI alongside high internal generation suggests schedule-tracking stress (forecast error or dispatch friction), which can spill into RTM procurement and balancing requirements.
Why it matters: even with zero reported shortage, persistent UI in large states is a cost-leak channel (DSM exposure) and a system-balancing burden.
8) Tamil Nadu shows a large negative UI despite big solar-curtailment or self-backdown signal
8In SR’s 2026-02-03 report, Tamil Nadu records Solar = 43.40 MU and UI = -4.62 MU (net under-drawal versus schedule).
Inference: A negative UI of this size alongside strong solar can indicate either internal congestion/curtailment or deliberate backing down-either way, it reduces “usable” flexibility for the wider system.
Why it matters: when solar-heavy states under-draw, the balancing load shifts elsewhere-raising the odds that RTM becomes the pressure point during ramps.

Inference: That “up/down symmetry” screams continuous re-balancing, consistent with the day’s sharp RTM basis events (morning and 18:00 step) rather than a single isolated disturbance.
Why it matters: when balancing energy is this large, RTM becomes the cost-pass-through channel; any liquidity thinning can turn routine balancing into headline volatility.
5) Big thermal outages sit in the background while buyers fight for RTM cover
8On 2026-02-02, multiple 660 MW units are listed under maintenance/forced categories (e.g., Jawaharpur STPP Unit-1 & Unit-2, Chhabra-II TPP Unit-6).
Inference: With large units unavailable entering 2026-02-03, the system has less thermal “shock absorber,” making net-exchange swings and balancing actions more price-visible in RTM.
Why it matters: outage-driven tightness doesn’t need a corridor violation to hurt-costs show up as RTM spikes and a wider intraday basis.
6) Smaller exchanges go dark-price discovery concentrates, volatility risk rises
8PXIL shows RTM MCP = Rs 10.00/kWh on 2026-02-02 with just 190 MWh scheduled; on 2026-02-03, PXIL RTM shows no trades.
Inference: HPX RTM snapshot lists zero bids and zero cleared volume even on 2026-02-03.
Why it matters: thin or absent trading outside the dominant venue reduces “pressure-release valves”-stress concentrates, and RTM spikes become harder to arbitrage away.
7) Rajasthan posts a positive UI day while running heavy thermal + solar-quiet imbalance risk
8In NR’s daily report for 2026-02-03, Rajasthan shows UI = +0.84 MU with generation dominated by thermal (152.02 MU) and sizable solar (43.81 MU).
Inference: A positive UI alongside high internal generation suggests schedule-tracking stress (forecast error or dispatch friction), which can spill into RTM procurement and balancing requirements.
Why it matters: even with zero reported shortage, persistent UI in large states is a cost-leak channel (DSM exposure) and a system-balancing burden.
8) Tamil Nadu shows a large negative UI despite big solar-curtailment or self-backdown signal
8In SR’s 2026-02-03 report, Tamil Nadu records Solar = 43.40 MU and UI = -4.62 MU (net under-drawal versus schedule).
Inference: A negative UI of this size alongside strong solar can indicate either internal congestion/curtailment or deliberate backing down-either way, it reduces “usable” flexibility for the wider system.
Why it matters: when solar-heavy states under-draw, the balancing load shifts elsewhere-raising the odds that RTM becomes the pressure point during ramps.

NHPC’s Parbati-II tariff recovery curbed amid massive delay overhang
Feb 06:
8Instead of allowing the standard 90% interim tariff, the Commission limited recovery to 75%, citing the unusually large share of financing costs embedded in the project’s capital base.
8The ruling signals a tougher regulatory stance on legacy hydro delays entering the new tariff period.

Kerala moves to lock long-term power adequacy under binding planning rules
Feb 06:
8Kerala’s power regulator has unveiled a draft framework that formally shifts the state into structured, forward-looking resource adequacy planning. Distribution utilities will now be required to forecast demand over a 10-year horizon and tie up firm capacity aligned with national planning reserve margins.

Northern grid disturbances shift from equipment failures to inverter-driven instability between December and January
Feb 06:
8The most striking anomaly was a nearly 3.8 GW instantaneous RE generation loss in Rajasthan during a voltage dip and overvoltage cascade. For operators and regulators, the tension is no longer just equipment reliability, but dynamic stability in a grid with rapidly rising inverter-based generation.

Market Round-up
Feb 06:
1) Morning DAM blowout priced a scarcity premium long before RTM cleared it
8DAM MCP jumped to Rs 8.70/kWh at 07:30–07:45 (T31–T32), while RTM for the same blocks cleared at Rs 5.35/kWh and Rs 5.00/kWh.
Inference: The premium looks “forward” (DAM) rather than real-time (RTM): DAM purchase bids stayed far above sell bids through the spike window, signalling tight sell-side depth into the morning ramp.
Why it matters: a Rs 3.70/kWh DAM–RTM basis at T32 is pure forecasting cost for buyers who could have leaned on RTM.
2) DAM hit a hard regime break after 08:00; volatility was not “smooth”
8After the spike, DAM MCP dropped from Rs 6.25/kWh (08:00, T33) to Rs 3.94/kWh (08:45, T36) in under an hour.
Inference: This looks like a cleared-supply catch-up (sell side recovering) rather than demand collapse, because scheduled volumes stayed sizable while prices mean-reverted sharply.
Why it matters: it increases the value of intra-day re-optimisation; static DAM positions were punished on both sides of the break.
3) Real-time balancing stayed “heavy” all day even without an obvious shortage headline
8NLDC’s ancillary/SCUC daily sheet shows SCUC-Up scheduled 48,162 MWh and SCUC-Down scheduled −48,103 MWh on 2026-02-05.
Inference: Near-symmetric up/down energy points to continuous re-balancing (commitment + de-commitment) rather than one-direction scarcity.
Why it matters: this kind of churn typically amplifies RTM price sensitivity and raises balancing risk for states riding close to schedules.
4) HPX ASDAM printed “zero market” blocks — a liquidity signal, not a footnote
8HPX ASDAM shows 0.0000 MWh cleared across successive 15-minute blocks on 05/02/2026 (market effectively absent at block level).
Inference: With DAM/RTM price discovery happening elsewhere the same day, this looks like liquidity concentration risk: fewer venues meaningfully set short-term prices.
Why it matters: thin venues can’t absorb stress when one exchange tightens, raising systemic execution risk for participants.
5) PXIL IDAS showed bids but no cleared price/volume — a fragmentation warning
8PXIL’s IDAS volume profile lists sell bids (e.g., 104.50 MWh at 00:00–00:15) but shows MCV/Scheduled Volume/MCP.
Inference: This pattern is consistent with order-book presence without matchable counterparties (or a no-trade day for the product).
Why it matters: partial liquidity creates false comfort in “available” supply while forcing actual procurement into other, potentially costlier routes.
6) NER frequency compliance was weak on 2026-02-04 — 26% of time outside IEGC band
8NER FDI sheet reports frequency outside 49.9–50.05 Hz for 26.08% of the day (6.15 hours), with min 49.83 Hz and max 50.27 Hz.
Inference: The tail risk is not about average frequency (reported 50.01 Hz), but about time spent outside the band — a control quality issue.
Why it matters: sustained excursions increase deviation exposure and undermine confidence in “stable grid” claims built only on averages.
7) High scheduled drawal plus meaningful OD/UD clustered in a few big states
8NLDC PSP state table shows large drawal schedules alongside material OD/UD: Maharashtra 199.4 MU schedule with −2.9 MU OD/UD; Rajasthan 99.0 MU with −4.8 MU; Tamil Nadu 220.7 MU with +0.8 MU (all on 2026-02-05).
Inference: These are “high-throughput” states where small percentage errors convert into big absolute deviations, especially during ramp hours.
Why it matters: the same states are the first to transmit balancing stress into market prices and ancillary deployments.
8) DAM–RTM basis widening followed RTM moves with a 1-block lag (statistically, not rhetorically)
8Using the full 96-block MCP series on 2026-02-05, the DAM–RTM basis shows a 1-block lag correlation ~ρ=0.49 with RTM MCP (0–8 block scan), crossing your |ρ|≥0.35 flag.
Inference: RTM volatility appears to “pull” the basis wider in the next block more than it is purely simultaneous — consistent with buyers re-pricing forward exposure after seeing RTM.
Why it matters: procurement teams can’t treat DAM and RTM as independent levers intra-day; the basis is reactive and can snowball.

Power Committee Updates
Feb 06:
1) NR’s deviation economics flipped in a week: the WR–NR rent collapsed-and Delhi quietly became the week’s biggest ‘discipline winner’
8This reads like a grid that tightened one set of deviations (especially inter-regional) while exposing a second-order truth: NR’s “discipline” is still entity-specific, not systemic-so the money just rotates to the next weakest participant.
2) Delhi’s reactive bill collapses, but the pool’s receivable stack grows-UP and NTPC tighten their grip on VAR money flow
8This fortnight reads like a grid whose reactive economics are tightening into a few large sinks and a handful of volatile payers, with Delhi’s swing the cleanest behavioural change on the payable side.
3) WR’s transmission “availability” story is being propped up by month-long deemed outages-while the real risk is drifting into weather, pollution, and asset-health failures
8The grid’s fragility shows up more sharply through environment-driven faults-kite thread marks, stubble-burning fly-ash induced faults, and temperature-linked equipment limitations-signalling that “externalities” are now operational variables.
4) January in East India closes with a split-screen incentive story: a few units mint “peak-eligible” value while legacy stations bleed negative eligibility and push the bill back onto beneficiaries
8The structural tension: the region’s incentive pool is being distorted by persistent off-peak negatives (seen repeatedly in totals and beneficiary rows), so the grid is implicitly rewarding a narrow slice of operational behaviour while penalising broad, recurring scheduling patterns
5) Recertified Eastern region data: APNRL’s DC story flips from “data correction risk” in Dec to “higher declaration, higher surrender” in Jan-buyers aren’t absorbing what’s being certified
8Net-net, this pack reads less like a generator performance note and more like a demand discipline and data-governance stress test-first through revision, then through under-absorption.

Miscellaneous Update: Part I
Feb 06:
1) POWERGRID collapses 17 transmission SPVs into two entities under MCA-approved merger
8Operationally, it signals a shift from fragmented SPV structures toward tighter portfolio aggregation. Regulators and lenders will now evaluate these assets under fewer but larger corporate shells.
2) Northern states gain central power share as India’s allocation pool expands modestly in January
8The pattern signals seasonal and regulatory rebalancing of central resources toward northern demand centres.
3) India’s winter peak climbs past 245 GW as northern demand drives seasonal system stress
8The combined data signals a grid entering a high-demand quarter with tightening regional balances but no nationwide deficit.
4) APGENCO extends key APPC engineering deputation to maintain procurement continuity
8It has formally extended the deputation of a mechanical engineering officer at the state power procurement wing, preventing a staffing gap at a sensitive operational node.
5) Temporary promotions at APGENCO tied to court outcomes and strict joining rules
8It has issued temporary promotion orders elevating four Deputy Executive Engineers to Executive Engineer rank while simultaneously shifting one senior officer through a transfer.
6) Maharashtra transmission utility moves to embed policy and planning expertise
8It has initiated the hiring of two high-level consultants to strengthen its internal analytical and planning capacity.
7) Rajasthan Roundup: Chhabra thermal plant reports broad EC compliance but flags partial safeguards
8AVVNL eases bond exit rule for staff joining government services
8) Delhi gas plant seeks tariff relief after PLF collapse despite high availability
8Fuel cost pressures and take-or-pay gas commitments have amplified the financial strain. Additional O&M burdens from emission-control burners and sewage treatment operations are also being claimed.

Regulatory Updates: Part I
Feb 06:
1) Karnataka regulator opens scrutiny window on utility performance costs
8Karnataka’s power regulator has triggered a statewide review cycle that could reshape how utility cost overruns translate into consumer tariffs.
2) Rising procurement costs and loss spike squeeze MPSEZ’s distribution margins in Q3
8The most striking shift is the T&D loss increase from 2.54% to 4.05%, signalling a sudden deterioration in network efficiency, and there are other striking issues as well.
3) TNERC orders high interest payout, clears short-term power buys
8Tamil Nadu’s power regulator has enforced financial discipline on delayed generator payments while simultaneously securing near-term power supply for the state grid.
4) Tamil Nadu regulator clears 1,500 MW medium-term power hedge
8Tamil Nadu’s power regulator has approved a significant expansion of medium-term power procurement, allowing the state utility to secure 1,500 MW of round-the-clock supply under competitive bidding. The decision adds 700 MW to an earlier 800 MW approval, consolidating both into a single five-year tender.
5) CERC trims Fatehabad asset base while locking in new five-year transmission tariffs
8A modest but notable capital adjustment was imposed through disallowance of excess initial spares, slightly reducing the regulatory asset value.
6) CERC moves to license major NR–WR grid strengthening corridor
8The project centers on a new 765 kV Prayagraj substation and multiple line integrations that reshape existing power flows across Uttar Pradesh and adjoining regions.

Who says gas based units do not run in the winters?
Feb 05:
8There is common chatter that gas-based power backs off in winter because it’s expensive.
8But this power unit's consumption went from zero to a massive 1.4 mmscmd of gas
8And all of it is APM gas. And there is no gas for fertilizers, for which the govenment pays straight from the exchequer.

Regulatory Updates: Part I
Feb 05:
1) Kerala regulator locks five-year bulk supply pact for Thrissur distributor
8The structure places emphasis on measured maximum demand across multiple substations rather than feeder-wise limits.
2) Tamil Nadu regulator clears emergency coal power costs through tariff pass-through
8It confirms that crisis-driven fuel price volatility can still flow into consumer tariffs when backed by central directives.
3) TNERC blocks TANGEDCO’s retrospective solar audit recovery demand
8The decision signals that audit corrections cannot override the commercial finality of grid-accepted renewable energy flows.
4) TNERC clears short-term power purchase, locks TNPDCL into strict cost discipline
8The order reinforces a broader regulatory push toward procurement discipline rather than post-facto cost recovery flexibility.
5) TNERC stretches e-filing software rollout timeline, eases bidder eligibility window

Market Round-up
Feb 05:
1) DAM–RTM basis flipped sign in 24 hours, widening the scheduling risk premium
8On 2026-02-04, DAM MCP rose to Rs 3.45/kWh while RTM MCP fell to Rs 2.74/kWh, flipping the basis from the prior day.
Inference: With lower real-time imbalance pressure earlier, the swing points to day-ahead overcommitment followed by real-time correction.
Why it matters: A Rs 0.71/kWh spread penalises inaccurate demand forecasting and raises avoidable power purchase cost for DISCOMs that over-schedule in DAM.
2) GDAM cleared above DAM on the peak day, hinting at green scarcity pricing
8On 2026-02-04, GDAM MCP printed Rs 3.60/kWh, above DAM’s Rs 3.45/kWh.
Inference: Buyers appear to have paid a clean-energy premium due to constrained matching of time-specific green supply.
Why it matters: Persistent GDAM premiums can inflate renewable procurement costs and distort short-term compliance economics for obligated entities.
3) HPDAM showed sell interest but zero clearing all week - hydro value stayed “on paper”
8From 2026-01-29 to 2026-02-04, HPDAM shows ~133–136 GWh/day sell bids, but MCV and scheduled volume remained zero.
Inference: Hydro flexibility was offered but price or system constraints prevented trade execution.
Why it matters: Idle hydro bids shift balancing burden to RTM and DSM, increasing price volatility and deviation settlement exposure.
4) Thermal under-delivery forced hydro to shoulder Southern region balancing
8On 2026-02-03, Southern thermal output was 734.22 MU vs 938.34 MU program (-21.25%).
Inference: Hydro over-performance cushioned thermal shortfall, indicating dispatch stress rather than demand collapse.
Why it matters: Hydro used for balancing instead of peak arbitrage reduces its future price-smoothing role, raising intraday market volatility risk.
5) Coal stock stress surfaced in Rajasthan despite zero national shortage
8On 2026-02-03, Chhabra units held only 64–72% of normative coal stock.
Inference: Plants with low stock face higher forced market dependence during ramp events.
Why it matters: Coal stress quietly shifts cost from generation to exchanges, potentially adding Rs 0.40–0.80/kWh to marginal procurement during tight hours.
6) Maharashtra alone showed ATC violations while peers stayed within limits
8On 2026-02-04, Maharashtra recorded 5 ATC violation blocks while most states reported zero.
Inference: Corridor-specific stress rather than all-India congestion drove the breach.
Why it matters: Local ATC binding can inflate regional MCPs and increase area-specific congestion charges, raising landed power cost.
7) Frequency average looked stable, but low-side excursions dominated the day
8Average frequency was 50.008 Hz, yet 181 low-frequency excursions occurred versus 146 high-side events.
Inference: Downward stress events were more frequent, indicating higher balancing demand.
Why it matters: Frequent low-side excursions increase reliance on fast reserves and ancillary services, adding hidden system operation costs that later surface in tariffs.
8) Northern states showed opposite PX/RTM positions in the same off-peak window
8At 03:00 on 2026-02-04, Uttar Pradesh showed -2,310 MW PX/RTM/STOA position, while Punjab showed +1,350 MW.
Inference: States adopted divergent balancing strategies under similar grid conditions.
Why it matters: Such divergence raises settlement volatility and DSM exposure, potentially widening inter-state procurement cost gaps.

Power Committee Updates
Feb 05:
1) NER’s dispatch economics flipped: SCED net payouts collapsed even as down-dispatch dominated
8This is a tightening mismatch between “who the grid curtails” and “who ends up paying.
2) WR’s ancillary pool turned into a two-speed market: SCUC kept minting winners, while TRAS discipline deteriorated into an “Emergency-heavy” penalty week
8The grid looks like it is buying reliability in SCUC while charging for indiscipline in TRAS-and in the latest week, the “indiscipline” component spilled more visibly into Emergency-tagged outcomes.
3) From audit fatigue to fault cascades: Eastern grid’s protection architecture is breaking at the edges
8The PCC is now moving from coordination to coercion-through expanded third-party audits, forced setting reviews, and direct letters to defaulting utilities.
4) ER’s DSM week was quietly recapitalised by one state-and brutally destabilised by one corridor
8ER’s DSM is no longer a “state-by-state story” alone-inter-regional exposure is the dominant risk surface and it is being corrected post-facto, not prevented upstream.

India’s invisible megawatts: How captive and rooftop power finally forced themselves into the grid conversation
Feb 04:
8The discussion exposes a quiet governance gap: CEIs, SLDCs, DISCOMs, and developers all hold fragments of the truth, but no one owns the full picture. The proposed data architecture-pilots, smart meters, AMR systems, and developer-led platforms-signals a shift from ad-hoc reporting to quasi-real-time surveillance. Yet beneath the technical optimism lie unresolved cost burdens, data ownership questions, and regulatory exposure that could reshape captive economics and rooftop solar’s grid relationship.

CERC Updates
Feb 04:
1) CERC resets Southern grid strengthening tariffs after capital cost corrections
8The ruling reinforces CERC’s stance on disciplined cost norms, especially around spares and deferred liabilities.
2) CERC trims reactor asset base, resets northern grid charges for new control period
8The ruling reinforces CERC’s hard line on capital discipline before the new tariff block begins. It also signals continued scrutiny of legacy cost padding in mature interstate assets
3) CERC clears litigation-driven cost surge in Southern grid strengthening asset
8The move reinforces that legal risk in transmission projects ultimately migrates into regulated revenue streams.
4) CERC locks revised tariff path for Wardha fault-control transmission upgrade
8It signals that even non-capacity-augmenting works are subject to full tariff scrutiny as grid complexity rises.
5) CERC resets Powergrid Jharkhand–Bengal transmission tariff across two regulatory cycles
8The decision signals continued emphasis on prudence review over mechanical tariff pass-throughs.
6) CERC resets ERSS-VII tariffs, clears Rs 26 lakh carry-over costs into new cycle
8The regulatory signal is one of continuity - no reopening of old disputes, only structured pass-through of verified residuals
7) CERC resets Northeast grid upgrade tariffs, lowers past charges, sets leaner next cycle
8The broader signal is a regulator intent on compression of transmission carrying costs while preserving equity returns.
8) CERC trims legacy tariff base, stabilises spare asset charges for new control period
8The order signals a continued regulatory preference for cost containment in legacy grid assets rather than expansion-driven recovery. It also reinforces discipline on post-COD capital claims.
9) CERC resets ERSS-XVII tariffs as Powergrid costs move into new control period
8The ruling signals continuity rather than reform - but locks in cost visibility for the next five years.
10) CERC resets NERSS-II tariffs, clears legacy dues and locks five-year cost recovery
8The ruling reinforces regulatory preference for financial closure discipline over fresh capex expansion in mature transmission schemes.
11) CERC resets Western Region transmission costs, merges nine grid assets for new tariff cycle
8The regulator has reaffirmed cost-plus transmission recovery but with sharper reconciliation of contractor liabilities and delayed capitalisation flows.
12) CERC clears petition revision but locks in tight January filing deadlines
8The move underscores a regulatory preference for procedural discipline over timeline extensions in active generation tariff matters. For the generator, the revision opportunity comes with limited room for delay or iterative correction.

Miscellaneous Update: Part I
Feb 04:
1) Coal Ministry opens door to insurance bonds as mining performance security
8The change affects competitive tariff-linked coal blocks, including projects supplying ultra mega power plants.
2) Coal ministry lifts December index as coking grades outpace thermal benchmarks
8The direction, however, signals that industrial fuel markets are regaining pricing strength faster than the power sector.
3) Khavda Phase-II link goes live, unlocking 4.5 GW renewable evacuation capacity
8At the system level, it signals continued prioritisation of high-capacity RE corridors over conventional expansion.
4) India’s smart metering drive crosses 5.46 crore installs but mega states lag
8The disparity signals emerging pressure points in funding flows, vendor capacity allocation, and state-level reform readiness.
5) G-DAM volumes rise in January as buyer mix flips and C&I selling accelerates
8The pattern suggests portfolio and procurement repositioning rather than a documented operational disruption.
6) Eastern coal fleet captures SCED gains as southern units absorb deeper backing down in December
8The pattern suggests a system shift where eastern coal economics dominated real-time optimisation, pushing southern units down the merit stack.
7) RVPN defends asset carve-out as RTIL seeks separate transmission licence
8The outcome may signal how Rajasthan handles future structural unbundling within its grid infrastructure.
8) RVPN defends transmission demerger, pushes tariff questions to future proceedings
8For DISCOMs and consumers, the financial ripple effects remain undefined at this stage. The Commission now faces a decision on whether to separate structural approval from tariff accountability.
9) Jodhpur Discom corrects billing linkage for November FPPAS recovery
8It also reflects regulatory sensitivity around billing period integrity under the RERC framework.
10) Coal still anchors Rajasthan dispatch as one major NTPC unit shows cost stress
8For Rajasthan SLDC and state utilities, the data signals continued dependence on central coal allocations while gas remains structurally sidelined.
11) Kerala’s state utility posts profit on government support amid mounting regulatory gap
8The tension between political tariff restraint and financial sustainability is becoming more visible.

Power Committee Updates
Feb 04:
1) West Bengal’s reactive bill collapses - but the pool imbalance doesn’t: Bihar, Kahalgaon and Odisha quietly take over the VAR cashflow
8The pool is becoming a mirror of grid voltage management - and it’s reflecting instability pockets, not average performance.
2) The ER grid’s “quiet instability”: DSM pool stays positive, but the real stress is migrating into inter-regional settlement and dispatch-side make-good mechanisms
8The structural tension is clear: DSM looks “settled”, but scarcity is being priced through ancillary and commitment constructs, creating a two-layer discipline regime-payments move, but reliability signals are bleeding into other accounts.
3) NER’s allocation envelope tightens in Jan: the headline isn’t one plant-it’s the shrinking “total power” canvas and what it does to discipline
8January reads like an allocation stress-test-not because the sheet screams with exceptions, but because the macro ceiling falls and every sub-allocation becomes a potential grievance point.
4) WRPC’s pool flipped from SCUC-dominant surplus to shortfall-driven stress - even as the same winners kept collecting
8And the repeated behavioural issue is the persistence of large negative contributors (multiple VSTPS units, Sipat, NSPCL) - the same names, same direction signature that looks less like noise and more like a structural operating posture.
5) WR’s DSM bill didn’t “improve”-it collapsed: inter-regional stress cooled, and renewables stopped bleeding (for now)
8Operationally, the risk isn’t this week’s lower bill-it’s the volatility signal: the account shows WR can swing from heavy net payable to near-flat in seven days, which usually means the control problem has shifted-not vanished.
6) One flagship block stayed rock-solid-while another faceplanted to 45% availability, forcing the month’s ‘virtual’ balancing to do the heavy lifting in the West’s REA-based ABT
8Net-net, the grid’s meaning for the latest period is uncomfortable: operational stability is being maintained-but the reliability margin is concentrating, and concentration is what breaks first when the next unit trips.
7) Chhattisgarh’s VAR shock flips polarity- and quietly rewrites Western Region’s “discipline map” in a single week
8And the structural tension remains: state-level pay/receive can flip fast, but the persistent payer set (especially Gujarat) suggests deeper VAR management and network/reactive control constraints that weekly settlement alone won’t cure.
8) January’s scheduling story in NRPC: the virtual stack flipped from “support” to “stress”-with TRAS/SCUC turning into a visible corrective hand across flagship NR stations
8The repeated behavioural issue is that the virtual stack keeps appearing as a balancing tool rather than an exception-suggesting structural reliance on optimisation layers where beneficiary discipline should have carried the load.
9) Southern Region’s reactive pool tightens: net receivable jumps-driven by Karnataka + Andhra, while Tamil Nadu flips from payer to major claimant
8This is the kind of weekly pattern that quietly rewires incentives: reactive discipline becomes a tradable edge-until the pool starts signalling “persistent winners” and “repeat offenders” with uncomfortable consistency.
10) From Telangana tailwind to Tamil Nadu windfall: the DSM pool flips its biggest payer/receiver map in one week
8Week-on-week, the Southern Region’s DSM story isn’t “volatility”-it’s a clean redistribution of who is funding discipline and who is cashing it.

Market Round-up
Feb 04:
1) RTM blows out over DAM as net exports shrink during the morning ramp
8RTM MCP hit Rs 8.51/kWh at Hour 7 (DAM at the same hour: Rs 5.73/kWh) on 2026-02-03.
Inference: All-India net exchange flipped “less export” as RTM spiked (from -2,020 MW at 00:00 to -1,294 MW at 07:00), tightening the system right when demand jumped above 209 GW.
Why it matters: a ~Rs 2.77/kWh RTM–DAM basis at a peak hour is a direct procurement risk for RTM-exposed buyers and a stress-signal for balancing depth.
2) A second price regime hits at 18:00 as export cushion collapses again
8RTM MCP stepped up from Rs 4.37/kWh (17:45) to Rs 8.68/kWh (18:00) on 2026-02-03.
Inference: The jump lines up with net exchange moving sharply toward zero (export shrinking to ~-1.34 GW at 18:00), while frequency softened into 49.95–49.96 Hz by 18:30–18:45.
Why it matters: this is a clean “regime break” signature-buyers relying on late-day RTM cover face sudden cost shocks without an obvious corridor-constraint trigger.
3) “No ATC/(N-1) violations” masks a voltage problem at a solar hub
8The system reliability report shows 0 hours of ATC and (N-1) violations on major corridors for 2026-02-03.
Inference: Yet Bhadla II sat outside the IEGC voltage band for 17.71% of the day, a local stress that corridor indices don’t capture.
Why it matters: market participants can see “congestion-free” dashboards while still paying for voltage management risk that hits dispatch flexibility and renewable evacuation.
4) Ancillary SCUC volumes signal heavy balancing-even before you see the price
8SCUC schedules show SCUC-Up = 41,992 MWh and SCUC-Down = -41,991 MWh for 2026-02-03.
Inference: That “up/down symmetry” screams continuous re-balancing, consistent with the day’s sharp RTM basis events (morning and 18:00 step) rather than a single isolated disturbance.
Why it matters: when balancing energy is this large, RTM becomes the cost-pass-through channel; any liquidity thinning can turn routine balancing into headline volatility.
5) Big thermal outages sit in the background while buyers fight for RTM cover
8On 2026-02-02, multiple 660 MW units are listed under maintenance/forced categories (e.g., Jawaharpur STPP Unit-1 & Unit-2, Chhabra-II TPP Unit-6).
Inference: With large units unavailable entering 2026-02-03, the system has less thermal “shock absorber,” making net-exchange swings and balancing actions more price-visible in RTM.
Why it matters: outage-driven tightness doesn’t need a corridor violation to hurt-costs show up as RTM spikes and a wider intraday basis.
6) Smaller exchanges go dark-price discovery concentrates, volatility risk rises
8PXIL shows RTM MCP = Rs 10.00/kWh on 2026-02-02 with just 190 MWh scheduled; on 2026-02-03, PXIL RTM shows no trades.
Inference: HPX RTM snapshot lists zero bids and zero cleared volume even on 2026-02-03.
Why it matters: thin or absent trading outside the dominant venue reduces “pressure-release valves”-stress concentrates, and RTM spikes become harder to arbitrage away.
7) Rajasthan posts a positive UI day while running heavy thermal + solar-quiet imbalance risk
8In NR’s daily report for 2026-02-03, Rajasthan shows UI = +0.84 MU with generation dominated by thermal (152.02 MU) and sizable solar (43.81 MU).
Inference: A positive UI alongside high internal generation suggests schedule-tracking stress (forecast error or dispatch friction), which can spill into RTM procurement and balancing requirements.
Why it matters: even with zero reported shortage, persistent UI in large states is a cost-leak channel (DSM exposure) and a system-balancing burden.
8) Tamil Nadu shows a large negative UI despite big solar-curtailment or self-backdown signal
8In SR’s 2026-02-03 report, Tamil Nadu records Solar = 43.40 MU and UI = -4.62 MU (net under-drawal versus schedule).
Inference: A negative UI of this size alongside strong solar can indicate either internal congestion/curtailment or deliberate backing down-either way, it reduces “usable” flexibility for the wider system.
Why it matters: when solar-heavy states under-draw, the balancing load shifts elsewhere-raising the odds that RTM becomes the pressure point during ramps.

8RTM MCP stepped up from Rs 4.37/kWh (17:45) to Rs 8.68/kWh (18:00) on 2026-02-03.
Inference: The jump lines up with net exchange moving sharply toward zero (export shrinking to ~-1.34 GW at 18:00), while frequency softened into 49.95–49.96 Hz by 18:30–18:45.
Why it matters: this is a clean “regime break” signature-buyers relying on late-day RTM cover face sudden cost shocks without an obvious corridor-constraint trigger.
3) “No ATC/(N-1) violations” masks a voltage problem at a solar hub
8The system reliability report shows 0 hours of ATC and (N-1) violations on major corridors for 2026-02-03.
Inference: Yet Bhadla II sat outside the IEGC voltage band for 17.71% of the day, a local stress that corridor indices don’t capture.
Why it matters: market participants can see “congestion-free” dashboards while still paying for voltage management risk that hits dispatch flexibility and renewable evacuation.
4) Ancillary SCUC volumes signal heavy balancing-even before you see the price
8SCUC schedules show SCUC-Up = 41,992 MWh and SCUC-Down = -41,991 MWh for 2026-02-03.
Inference: That “up/down symmetry” screams continuous re-balancing, consistent with the day’s sharp RTM basis events (morning and 18:00 step) rather than a single isolated disturbance.
Why it matters: when balancing energy is this large, RTM becomes the cost-pass-through channel; any liquidity thinning can turn routine balancing into headline volatility.
5) Big thermal outages sit in the background while buyers fight for RTM cover
8On 2026-02-02, multiple 660 MW units are listed under maintenance/forced categories (e.g., Jawaharpur STPP Unit-1 & Unit-2, Chhabra-II TPP Unit-6).
Inference: With large units unavailable entering 2026-02-03, the system has less thermal “shock absorber,” making net-exchange swings and balancing actions more price-visible in RTM.
Why it matters: outage-driven tightness doesn’t need a corridor violation to hurt-costs show up as RTM spikes and a wider intraday basis.
6) Smaller exchanges go dark-price discovery concentrates, volatility risk rises
8PXIL shows RTM MCP = Rs 10.00/kWh on 2026-02-02 with just 190 MWh scheduled; on 2026-02-03, PXIL RTM shows no trades.
Inference: HPX RTM snapshot lists zero bids and zero cleared volume even on 2026-02-03.
Why it matters: thin or absent trading outside the dominant venue reduces “pressure-release valves”-stress concentrates, and RTM spikes become harder to arbitrage away.
7) Rajasthan posts a positive UI day while running heavy thermal + solar-quiet imbalance risk
8In NR’s daily report for 2026-02-03, Rajasthan shows UI = +0.84 MU with generation dominated by thermal (152.02 MU) and sizable solar (43.81 MU).
Inference: A positive UI alongside high internal generation suggests schedule-tracking stress (forecast error or dispatch friction), which can spill into RTM procurement and balancing requirements.
Why it matters: even with zero reported shortage, persistent UI in large states is a cost-leak channel (DSM exposure) and a system-balancing burden.
8) Tamil Nadu shows a large negative UI despite big solar-curtailment or self-backdown signal
8In SR’s 2026-02-03 report, Tamil Nadu records Solar = 43.40 MU and UI = -4.62 MU (net under-drawal versus schedule).
Inference: A negative UI of this size alongside strong solar can indicate either internal congestion/curtailment or deliberate backing down-either way, it reduces “usable” flexibility for the wider system.
Why it matters: when solar-heavy states under-draw, the balancing load shifts elsewhere-raising the odds that RTM becomes the pressure point during ramps.
