Contracting news for the day
Jun 30:
8Utility opens procurement for two 201.67 MVA generator transformers as technical qualification takes centre stage
The latest generator transformer procurement carries implications beyond equipment supply. The package signals where the utility is tightening expectations on capability, compliance and execution discipline. What ultimately shapes competition, however, lies deeper within the tender framework.
8Multi-year tax consultancy tender signals a broader compliance strategy beyond conventional advisory services
The latest tender bundles multiple statutory responsibilities into a single long-term consultancy engagement that extends well beyond routine tax compliance. The structure indicates a growing emphasis on integrated regulatory management rather than standalone advisory support. What this means for competition, consultant responsibilities and future utility procurements becomes clear inside the full story.
8Rs 2.01 crore bid-security transformer package moves through tighter compliance filter
The high-voltage transformer tender has evolved well beyond a routine supply procurement. Multiple extensions, a corrected vector-group conflict and strict monitoring-interface responsibilities reveal where bidders are seeking greater flexibility. The deeper commercial signal lies in how little the procuring entity has ultimately relaxed.
8GIS OEM qualification filter tightens as contract value stays behind the bid wall
The latest GIS tender has shifted from a rating-wise competition to a consolidated package approach. The change reshapes how 400 kV and 230 kV credentials will be evaluated, priced and translated into execution accountability. For bidders, the real challenge now extends well beyond the headline scope.
8Grid package moves into extended EPC contest after repeated deadline extensions
The latest grid infrastructure package has moved beyond a routine substation tender after three successive deadline extensions. The EPC contract keeps the technical burden concentrated across transformers, LILO works, protection and telecom systems. The real story lies in how the tender filters the vendor pool before price discovery begins.
8ESP refurbishment tender tightens ash handling while easing selected retrofit controls
The latest ESP package has moved far beyond a routine refurbishment tender. Multiple corrigenda have reshaped the balance between strict base specifications and bidder-led engineering practice. The final risk map sits inside the amendments, not on the tender cover page.
8BESS EPC tender introduces fresh contractual flexibility ahead of competitive bidding
The latest Battery Energy Storage System EPC tender has reshaped key bidding conditions before commercial competition begins. The revisions go beyond scheduling changes and introduce contractual provisions that could influence pricing strategy and execution planning. What those changes mean for bidders—and why they matter commercially—emerges only after a close reading of the tender framework.
8Strategic GIS partner selection advances as fixed-price conditions tighten competition
The latest procurement move extends well beyond equipment sourcing and reshapes how technology partners enter a major nuclear transmission package. Several commercial provisions quietly redistribute execution risk before the principal project is even awarded. The implications for bidder strategy become clearer only after examining the tender structure in detail.

The Indian Energy Exchange's Day-Ahead Market cleared 144,234.70 MWh, about 144.23 MU, on 28 June 2026 at an average market clearing price of Rs. 5,965.30/MWh (Rs. 5.97 per unit), with prices repeatedly touching the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling at peak hours. Purchase bids of 469,754 MWh far outstripped sell bids of 369,629 MWh, signalling a tight day-ahead market amid summer demand that benchmarks short-term power costs for DISCOMs and open-access consumers.
8Green day-ahead power clears at a Rs. 6.10/unit premium on IEX, 28 June snapshot shows
IEX's Green Day-Ahead Market settled at an average MCP of about Rs. 6,101.79/MWh (Rs. 6.10 per unit) on 28 June 2026, a premium over the conventional DAM's Rs. 5.97/unit, even as cleared green volumes stayed comparatively thin. The price signal indicates the value buyers place on renewable power as Renewable Purchase Obligation compliance tightens across states, reinforcing the exchange's role in clean-energy price discovery during the summer season.
8IEX High Price Day-Ahead Market sees near-zero clearing on 28 June despite 72,682-MWh sell bids
The High Price Day-Ahead Market on IEX recorded effectively no clearing on 28 June 2026, with purchase bids of just 970 MWh against 72,681.80 MWh of sell bids leaving market-cleared volume at zero. The HPDAM, intended for costlier flexible supply, drew little buyer interest, suggesting the conventional DAM and RTM met demand without recourse to premium segments that day, underscoring the niche role this exchange product still plays.
REAL-TIME MARKET (RTM)
8IEX Real-Time Market clears 180 MU on 28 June at Rs. 5.48/unit average
IEX's Real-Time Market cleared 179,709.48 MWh, about 179.7 MU, on 28 June 2026 at an average MCP of Rs. 5,483.49/MWh (Rs. 5.48 per unit), with purchase bids averaging 31,832 MW against sell bids of 14,689 MW and prices spiking to the Rs. 10,000/MWh cap. The robust real-time volumes, exceeding the day-ahead market, show utilities increasingly leaning on 15-minute balancing to manage summer load swings.
8Power exchange's RTM volume profile clears just 400 MWh at the price cap on 28 June
The RTM Market Volume Profile Report for 28 June 2026 shows only about 400 MWh cleared across four late-night 15-minute blocks, all at the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling, against sporadic small purchase bids. The minimal volumes on this exchange segment underline how concentrated real-time liquidity remains on the leading power exchange, IEX, by comparison, leaving this smaller platform with a marginal share of real-time trading activity.
TERM-AHEAD & GREEN TERM-AHEAD (TAM/GTAM)
8IEX Green Term-Ahead contracts trade at the Rs. 10/unit ceiling across 26-28 June window
IEX's Green Term-Ahead Market trade data for 26-28 June 2026 shows green daily and intraday contracts clearing at the Rs. 10,000/MWh (Rs. 10 per unit) price ceiling across roughly 495 contract entries, underscoring firm demand for term renewable power. The ceiling-bound prices point to scarcity pricing in the green short-term market as buyers move to lock in clean energy ahead of tightening Renewable Purchase Obligation deadlines for utilities.
8Conventional Term-Ahead power pins at the Rs. 10/unit cap across 2,300-plus IEX contracts, 26-28 June
IEX's Term-Ahead Market trade compilation for 26-28 June 2026 records more than 2,348 contract entries, about 683 on 28 June alone, with daily and contingency contracts repeatedly clearing at the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling. The persistent cap-level pricing across term products signals a tight short-term supply environment on the exchange during the summer peak, as buyers compete for firm power outside the day-ahead and real-time segments.
ANCILLARY & INTRADAY (ASDAM/IDAS/SCUC)
8No ancillary bids cleared on IEX's Ancillary Day-Ahead Market through 28 June, snapshot shows
The Ancillary Services Day-Ahead Market on IEX recorded zero TRAS bids and zero cleared volume across 26-28 June 2026, indicating that tertiary-reserve needs were met outside the exchange-based ancillary segment. The blank clearing reflects the still-nascent role of market-based ancillary procurement relative to the regulated TRAS/SRAS mechanism run by GRID-INDIA, which continues to handle the bulk of India's reserve management.
8Exchange's IDAS market sees no cleared volume on 28 June despite listed bids
The IDAS Market Volume Profile Report for 28 June 2026 shows no market-cleared volume across the day's 15-minute blocks, with purchase and sell bids failing to match. The empty clearing reflects thin liquidity in this intraday segment relative to the dominant day-ahead and real-time exchange platforms operating the same day, pointing to limited participant interest in this particular trading window.
8Grid-India's May 2026 ancillary report: SCUC charges hit Rs. 804 crore as reserves keep grid stable
GRID-INDIA's implementation report on the TRAS/SRAS/SCUC mechanism for May 2026 (4-31 May) shows Security Constrained Unit Commitment dispatching 1,724.43 MU up and 1,129.78 MU down, with net SCUC charges of Rs. 804.50 crore, by far the costliest reserve product. Tertiary reserves (TRAS) delivered 396.16 MU up and 1,226.33 MU down for net charges of Rs. 29.68 crore, while secondary reserves (SRAS) netted Rs. 13.05 crore, quantifying the rising cost of balancing the grid.
DEVIATION SETTLEMENT (DSM)
8PXIL's deviation-settlement market records nil clearing across 26-28 June window
Power Exchange India Limited's (PXIL) DSM Report for the 26-28 June 2026 window shows zero cleared buy and sell volumes at zero price across the 15-minute blocks reported. The flat results indicate negligible activity on PXIL's deviation-settlement-linked segment of the power market during the period, contrasting with the more active day-ahead and real-time trading recorded on rival exchanges over the same window.

NEWS UPDATE: COAL, FUEL & GENERATION
Jun 24:
COAL PRODUCTION & STOCK
8CEA's daily coal-stock report flags critical-stock thermal plants as on 22 June 2026
The Central Electricity Authority's Fuel Management Division daily coal stock report as on 22 June 2026 tracks coal stock in days against normative requirement at 85% PLF for monitored thermal stations, flagging plants with critical stock. PSPCL's fleet, for instance, ran at 55% PLF with 141% of normative stock, while several utilities sat below the critical threshold; the report is the key early-warning tool for coal-supply adequacy at power plants ahead of peak demand.
8Coal India reports plant-wise coal stock and dispatch status as on 22 June 2026
Coal India Limited's Marketing & Sales Division status report as on 22 June 2026 details coal stock, receipt and dispatch at power plants in the revised format. The data show supply performance to thermal stations from the country's dominant coal producer and complement the Central Electricity Authority's stock monitoring in assessing fuel security at generating stations ahead of high summer demand.
GENERATION & PLF
8CEA's daily generation report shows the western region 0.9% above and the north 6.6% below target on 21 June
The Central Electricity Authority's daily generation report for 21 June 2026 gives region-wise generation versus programme, with the western region generating 1,670.95 MU (up 0.86%) and the northern region 1,290.29 MU (down 6.56% against a 1,317.64 MU programme). Monitored capacities stand at 104,702 MW (west), 82,527 MW (north) and 71,705 MW (south), and the deviations highlight which regions ran ahead of or behind plan on the day.
8CEA's fuel-wise report shows the 251,489 MW thermal fleet generated 4,786 MU on 21 June 2026
The Central Electricity Authority's category- and fuel-wise daily generation report for 21 June 2026 shows total thermal monitored capacity of 251,489 MW and all-fuel monitored capacity of 312,334 MW, generating about 4,786 MU on the day against a 4,654 MU programme, excluding renewables. The fuel-wise split tracks coal, gas, hydro and nuclear contributions and frames the conventional-fuel base underpinning the national grid at peak demand.
8CEA reports thermal and nuclear units out of grid for over 15 days, including Pragati CCPP's 104.60 MW unit
The Central Electricity Authority's daily generation report for 21 June 2026 lists thermal and nuclear units out of the grid for more than 15 days during 2026-27, such as Pragati CCPP Unit-1 (104.60 MW), idle since July 2025 on low system demand and costly fuel. Prolonged outages signal stranded or uneconomic capacity, and the list helps planners identify chronic availability gaps in the monitored fleet.
8WRPC publishes March 2026 thermal generator performance for western stations like the 1,600 MW Gadarwara
The Western Regional Power Committee released a revised generator performance statement for March 2026 covering western-region thermal units including Mauda, Vindhyachal, Solapur, Gadarwara, Khargone and NSPCL, with installed capacity, gross and net generation, heat rate, auxiliary consumption and availability. Super-critical units such as the 1,600 MW Gadarwara and 1,320 MW Solapur are tracked against normative benchmarks, underpinning fixed-charge recovery and incentive or penalty settlement for central generators serving the region.
HYDRO & RESERVOIR
8SRLDC's reservoir report pegs Idukki at 707.44 ft on 23 June, tracking southern hydro storage
GRID-INDIA's SRLDC reservoir report for 23 June 2026 lists levels, energy content and inflows for southern reservoirs, including Idukki at 707.44 against 717 a year earlier, Donkarai at 313.91 and Idamalayar at 137.68. Reservoir levels determine the dispatchable hydro available for peaking and balancing, and the data matter for monsoon-season hydro planning across the southern grid as inflows build, with storage levels and energy content guiding how much hydro can be banked for peak hours versus released for immediate generation.
8Odisha hydro stations average 365 MW as Balimela and Mukhiguda lead the 22 June reservoir report
The reservoir generation report dated 22 June 2026 shows Odisha's hydroelectric fleet averaging 365.25 MW, equivalent to 8.766 MU, led by Balimela at 203.17 MW (peak 379 MW) and Upper Indravati at Mukhiguda at 133.54 MW (peak 430 MW). Several units were offline for renovation or maintenance, including Balimela units 5 and 6, while Rengali and Machkund recorded nil generation, with Balimela's reservoir at 1,462.4 ft against a full level of 1,516 ft. Details
8CEA's daily coal-stock report flags critical-stock thermal plants as on 22 June 2026

All 7 gas-based stations — including RGPPL-RLNG (ECR 1,598 paise/kWh), Kawas Commercial Gas (1,993) and Faridabad-LNG (2,383) — were scheduled at zero MW, highlighting that gas-based generation remained economically non-viable.
8NLDC dispatches Rihand 1 for full 96 time blocks at 505 MW on June 22, Dadri Stage 2 runs all-day at 448 MW
NLDC's SCUC for 22 June 2026 committed 29 thermal units, with Rihand 1 scheduled across all 96 time blocks at 505.64 MW (ECR 166.4 paise/kWh) and Dadri Stage 2 also running all 96 blocks at 448.03 MW (ECR 411.6 paise/kWh). Indira Gandhi TPS Jhajjar was the largest single schedule at 715.75 MW. Gas plants again sat idle across all 96 time blocks, with Faridabad-LNG's ECR of 2,383 paise/kWh making it wholly uneconomical against coal's baseload dominance.
8Eastern Region meets 28,708 MW evening peak on June 19 as West Bengal alone draws 9,463 MW at night
ERLDC's daily operation report for 19 June 2026 shows the Eastern Region met an evening peak of 28,708 MW and off-peak demand of 28,894 MW without shortage, delivering 666.27 MU across five states and DVC. West Bengal was the largest consumer at 215.64 MU and 9,463 MW at evening peak, while Bihar drew 183.72 MU and an evening peak of 7,848 MW. Total regional thermal generation was 339.67 MU — about 88% of the regional mix — underscoring the Eastern Region's near-total dependence on coal.
HYDRO & RESERVOIR
8Odisha's hydro fleet produced 12.06 MU on 19 June 2026, led by Upper Indravati's 229 MW output

Balimela's reservoir stood at 1,464.2 ft against a 1,516-ft full level, while Rengali and Machkund generated nil and several units at Balimela, Burla and Bariniput remained under maintenance — signalling tight hydro availability ahead of monsoon recharge.
8Southern reservoirs run below last year's levels on 21 June 2026; Idukki at 707 m vs 717 m
The SRLDC reservoir report for 21 June 2026 tracks 14 major southern hydro reservoirs, with Kerala's Idukki at 707.34 m (against 716.62 m a year earlier), Tamil Nadu's Mettur at 749.26 m (down from 783.69 m) and Andhra Pradesh's Srisailam at 250.48 m (below 259.51 m last year). The generally lower pre-monsoon storage signals tighter hydro availability for the southern grid, even as inflows at Supa and Linganamakki remain healthy.
8Sarda Energy's Sikkim hydro plant loses a transmission tower to heavy rain on 18 June 2026; loss insured
Sarda Energy and Minerals Limited reported that on 18 June 2026 a transmission tower of the Sikkim hydro power plant operated by its subsidiary Madhya Bharat Power Corporation Limited collapsed due to heavy rain, disrupting operations, with the resulting loss covered under insurance. The monsoon-driven damage highlights the exposure of Himalayan hydro generation and its evacuation infrastructure to extreme weather events during the pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons.
8HPPCL land acquisition court lists 47 Renukaji Dam compensation cases for 6 July 2026 hearing
The Court of the Land Acquisition Collector, HPPCL, Shimla published a cause list of 47 matters — filed between 2019 and 2026 — relating to land acquired for the Renukaji Dam Project and other Himachal power schemes, scheduled for 6 July 2026. Most listings concern legal representatives, rejoinders and compensation references, underscoring the protracted land-acquisition litigation around the state's hydro build-out and the challenges of large-scale hydroelectric project development in Himachal Pradesh.
8Eastern Region day-ahead demand forecast error held at 5% MAPE on 20 June 2026
Grid-India's Eastern Region forecasting-error report for 20 June 2026 shows day-ahead demand forecast accuracy of 5% MAPE (5.32% RMSE) and a sharper intraday accuracy of 1.57% MAPE (2.27% RMSE) against actual demand that peaked above 30,900 MW in the early blocks. Accurate demand forecasting is critical for economic scheduling and reserve planning, with the tight intraday error pointing to improving short-term predictability in the eastern grid. Details

Contracting news for the day
Jun 30:
8Utility opens procurement for two 201.67 MVA generator transformers as technical qualification takes centre stage
The latest generator transformer procurement carries implications beyond equipment supply. The package signals where the utility is tightening expectations on capability, compliance and execution discipline. What ultimately shapes competition, however, lies deeper within the tender framework.
8Multi-year tax consultancy tender signals a broader compliance strategy beyond conventional advisory services
The latest tender bundles multiple statutory responsibilities into a single long-term consultancy engagement that extends well beyond routine tax compliance. The structure indicates a growing emphasis on integrated regulatory management rather than standalone advisory support. What this means for competition, consultant responsibilities and future utility procurements becomes clear inside the full story.
8Rs 2.01 crore bid-security transformer package moves through tighter compliance filter
The high-voltage transformer tender has evolved well beyond a routine supply procurement. Multiple extensions, a corrected vector-group conflict and strict monitoring-interface responsibilities reveal where bidders are seeking greater flexibility. The deeper commercial signal lies in how little the procuring entity has ultimately relaxed.
8GIS OEM qualification filter tightens as contract value stays behind the bid wall
The latest GIS tender has shifted from a rating-wise competition to a consolidated package approach. The change reshapes how 400 kV and 230 kV credentials will be evaluated, priced and translated into execution accountability. For bidders, the real challenge now extends well beyond the headline scope.
8Grid package moves into extended EPC contest after repeated deadline extensions
The latest grid infrastructure package has moved beyond a routine substation tender after three successive deadline extensions. The EPC contract keeps the technical burden concentrated across transformers, LILO works, protection and telecom systems. The real story lies in how the tender filters the vendor pool before price discovery begins.
8ESP refurbishment tender tightens ash handling while easing selected retrofit controls
The latest ESP package has moved far beyond a routine refurbishment tender. Multiple corrigenda have reshaped the balance between strict base specifications and bidder-led engineering practice. The final risk map sits inside the amendments, not on the tender cover page.
8BESS EPC tender introduces fresh contractual flexibility ahead of competitive bidding
The latest Battery Energy Storage System EPC tender has reshaped key bidding conditions before commercial competition begins. The revisions go beyond scheduling changes and introduce contractual provisions that could influence pricing strategy and execution planning. What those changes mean for bidders—and why they matter commercially—emerges only after a close reading of the tender framework.
8Strategic GIS partner selection advances as fixed-price conditions tighten competition
The latest procurement move extends well beyond equipment sourcing and reshapes how technology partners enter a major nuclear transmission package. Several commercial provisions quietly redistribute execution risk before the principal project is even awarded. The implications for bidder strategy become clearer only after examining the tender structure in detail.
Details
The latest generator transformer procurement carries implications beyond equipment supply. The package signals where the utility is tightening expectations on capability, compliance and execution discipline. What ultimately shapes competition, however, lies deeper within the tender framework.
8Multi-year tax consultancy tender signals a broader compliance strategy beyond conventional advisory services
The latest tender bundles multiple statutory responsibilities into a single long-term consultancy engagement that extends well beyond routine tax compliance. The structure indicates a growing emphasis on integrated regulatory management rather than standalone advisory support. What this means for competition, consultant responsibilities and future utility procurements becomes clear inside the full story.
8Rs 2.01 crore bid-security transformer package moves through tighter compliance filter
The high-voltage transformer tender has evolved well beyond a routine supply procurement. Multiple extensions, a corrected vector-group conflict and strict monitoring-interface responsibilities reveal where bidders are seeking greater flexibility. The deeper commercial signal lies in how little the procuring entity has ultimately relaxed.
8GIS OEM qualification filter tightens as contract value stays behind the bid wall
The latest GIS tender has shifted from a rating-wise competition to a consolidated package approach. The change reshapes how 400 kV and 230 kV credentials will be evaluated, priced and translated into execution accountability. For bidders, the real challenge now extends well beyond the headline scope.
8Grid package moves into extended EPC contest after repeated deadline extensions
The latest grid infrastructure package has moved beyond a routine substation tender after three successive deadline extensions. The EPC contract keeps the technical burden concentrated across transformers, LILO works, protection and telecom systems. The real story lies in how the tender filters the vendor pool before price discovery begins.
8ESP refurbishment tender tightens ash handling while easing selected retrofit controls
The latest ESP package has moved far beyond a routine refurbishment tender. Multiple corrigenda have reshaped the balance between strict base specifications and bidder-led engineering practice. The final risk map sits inside the amendments, not on the tender cover page.

Power Exchange India Limited's (PXIL) DSM Report for the 26-28 June 2026 window shows zero cleared buy and sell volumes at zero price across the 15-minute blocks reported. The flat results indicate negligible activity on PXIL's deviation-settlement-linked segment of the power market during the period, contrasting with the more active day-ahead and real-time trading recorded on rival exchanges over the same window.
EXCHANGE AUCTIONS & CIRCULARS
8HPX lists reverse auction 01040 for Rajasthan Urja Vikas to procure thermal power
Hindustan Power Exchange (HPX) circulated specifications (Circular HPX_RA_01011, dated 27 June 2026) for an any-day single-side reverse auction, Auction No. HPX/27062026/01040, with Rajasthan Urja Vikas and IT Services Limited as buyer of thermal energy. The auction timeline opens with sellers' interest-quantity submissions from 27 June and runs through 29 June 2026, reflecting continued spot procurement by Rajasthan's distribution arm to meet demand.
8HPX publishes second reverse-auction tender (No. 01041) dated 27 June
Hindustan Power Exchange (HPX) issued specifications for a further any-day single-side reverse auction, Auction No. HPX/27062026/01041, dated 27 June 2026, inviting sellers to bid into a buyer-initiated power-procurement contract on the exchange. The auction follows HPX's byelaws and business rules, adding to the day's spot-market procurement activity routed through the power exchange as buyers sought competitive thermal-power supply to meet near-term demand requirements.

8IEX day-ahead prices average Rs. 5.97/unit on 28 June as cleared volume hits 144 MU
The Indian Energy Exchange's Day-Ahead Market cleared 144,234.70 MWh, about 144.23 MU, on 28 June 2026 at an average market clearing price of Rs. 5,965.30/MWh (Rs. 5.97 per unit), with prices repeatedly touching the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling at peak hours. Purchase bids of 469,754 MWh far outstripped sell bids of 369,629 MWh, signalling a tight day-ahead market amid summer demand that benchmarks short-term power costs for DISCOMs and open-access consumers.
8Green day-ahead power clears at a Rs. 6.10/unit premium on IEX, 28 June snapshot shows
IEX's Green Day-Ahead Market settled at an average MCP of about Rs. 6,101.79/MWh (Rs. 6.10 per unit) on 28 June 2026, a premium over the conventional DAM's Rs. 5.97/unit, even as cleared green volumes stayed comparatively thin. The price signal indicates the value buyers place on renewable power as Renewable Purchase Obligation compliance tightens across states, reinforcing the exchange's role in clean-energy price discovery during the summer season.
8IEX High Price Day-Ahead Market sees near-zero clearing on 28 June despite 72,682-MWh sell bids
The High Price Day-Ahead Market on IEX recorded effectively no clearing on 28 June 2026, with purchase bids of just 970 MWh against 72,681.80 MWh of sell bids leaving market-cleared volume at zero. The HPDAM, intended for costlier flexible supply, drew little buyer interest, suggesting the conventional DAM and RTM met demand without recourse to premium segments that day, underscoring the niche role this exchange product still plays.
REAL-TIME MARKET (RTM)
8IEX Real-Time Market clears 180 MU on 28 June at Rs. 5.48/unit average
IEX's Real-Time Market cleared 179,709.48 MWh, about 179.7 MU, on 28 June 2026 at an average MCP of Rs. 5,483.49/MWh (Rs. 5.48 per unit), with purchase bids averaging 31,832 MW against sell bids of 14,689 MW and prices spiking to the Rs. 10,000/MWh cap. The robust real-time volumes, exceeding the day-ahead market, show utilities increasingly leaning on 15-minute balancing to manage summer load swings.
8Power exchange's RTM volume profile clears just 400 MWh at the price cap on 28 June
The RTM Market Volume Profile Report for 28 June 2026 shows only about 400 MWh cleared across four late-night 15-minute blocks, all at the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling, against sporadic small purchase bids. The minimal volumes on this exchange segment underline how concentrated real-time liquidity remains on the leading power exchange, IEX, by comparison, leaving this smaller platform with a marginal share of real-time trading activity.
TERM-AHEAD & GREEN TERM-AHEAD (TAM/GTAM)
8IEX Green Term-Ahead contracts trade at the Rs. 10/unit ceiling across 26-28 June window
IEX's Green Term-Ahead Market trade data for 26-28 June 2026 shows green daily and intraday contracts clearing at the Rs. 10,000/MWh (Rs. 10 per unit) price ceiling across roughly 495 contract entries, underscoring firm demand for term renewable power. The ceiling-bound prices point to scarcity pricing in the green short-term market as buyers move to lock in clean energy ahead of tightening Renewable Purchase Obligation deadlines for utilities.
8Conventional Term-Ahead power pins at the Rs. 10/unit cap across 2,300-plus IEX contracts, 26-28 June
IEX's Term-Ahead Market trade compilation for 26-28 June 2026 records more than 2,348 contract entries, about 683 on 28 June alone, with daily and contingency contracts repeatedly clearing at the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling. The persistent cap-level pricing across term products signals a tight short-term supply environment on the exchange during the summer peak, as buyers compete for firm power outside the day-ahead and real-time segments.
ANCILLARY & INTRADAY (ASDAM/IDAS/SCUC)
8No ancillary bids cleared on IEX's Ancillary Day-Ahead Market through 28 June, snapshot shows
The Ancillary Services Day-Ahead Market on IEX recorded zero TRAS bids and zero cleared volume across 26-28 June 2026, indicating that tertiary-reserve needs were met outside the exchange-based ancillary segment. The blank clearing reflects the still-nascent role of market-based ancillary procurement relative to the regulated TRAS/SRAS mechanism run by GRID-INDIA, which continues to handle the bulk of India's reserve management.
8Exchange's IDAS market sees no cleared volume on 28 June despite listed bids
The IDAS Market Volume Profile Report for 28 June 2026 shows no market-cleared volume across the day's 15-minute blocks, with purchase and sell bids failing to match. The empty clearing reflects thin liquidity in this intraday segment relative to the dominant day-ahead and real-time exchange platforms operating the same day, pointing to limited participant interest in this particular trading window.
8Grid-India's May 2026 ancillary report: SCUC charges hit Rs. 804 crore as reserves keep grid stable
GRID-INDIA's implementation report on the TRAS/SRAS/SCUC mechanism for May 2026 (4-31 May) shows Security Constrained Unit Commitment dispatching 1,724.43 MU up and 1,129.78 MU down, with net SCUC charges of Rs. 804.50 crore, by far the costliest reserve product. Tertiary reserves (TRAS) delivered 396.16 MU up and 1,226.33 MU down for net charges of Rs. 29.68 crore, while secondary reserves (SRAS) netted Rs. 13.05 crore, quantifying the rising cost of balancing the grid.

Power Grid Corporation of India Limited's board, meeting on 26 June 2026, approved raising the company's borrowing limit from Rs. 1,80,000 crore to Rs. 2,20,000 crore, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The board also cleared External Commercial Borrowings of up to USD 500 million from Bank of Baroda and an investment for upgrading the Udumalpet-Madurai 400 kV single-circuit line.

The move builds on earlier approved tranches of Rs. 75 crore, Rs. 25 crore and Rs. 35 crore taking capacity to 16,000, 20,000 and 25,000 MVA respectively.

The proposal is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. A successful raise would bolster the Adani transmission-and-distribution arm's war chest for its expanding grid and smart-metering order book.
8Taylormade Renewables allots 10 lakh convertible warrants at Rs. 123.51 each on preferential basis
Taylormade Renewables Limited said its board on 26 June 2026 allotted 10,00,000 convertible warrants at Rs. 123.51 each (Rs. 10 face value plus Rs. 113.51 premium) on a preferential basis to two non-promoter allottees, Sukhdev and Sangitaben Punjabi, who paid Rs. 1,54,38,750 each as the 25% upfront amount.

8POWERGRID committee approves General Information Document for bond issuances
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (BSE: 532898; NSE: POWERGRID) informed exchanges, under Regulation 30 of SEBI LODR, that its Committee of Directors for Bonds approved the General Information Document (GID) for raising funds through bonds. The GID is a precursor to placement-memorandum-based debt issuances, supporting the transmission utility's capex funding plans as POWERGRID expands its inter-state network and pursues a heavier capital expenditure pipeline across India's transmission corridors.
CREDIT RATING & ANALYST REPORT
8HPL Electric & Power discloses fresh India Ratings credit rating action
HPL Electric & Power Limited (BSE: 540136; NSE: HPL) made a disclosure under Regulation 30 of SEBI LODR regarding a credit rating action by India Ratings and Research on its bank facilities. The update on the electrical-equipment and smart-metering maker's credit standing is material for lenders and bondholders tracking its balance-sheet strength amid an ongoing metering order ramp-up, with the rating outcome bearing on the company's borrowing costs going forward.
8JSW Energy unit JSW Renew Energy Three bags 'IND A/Stable' rating
JSW Energy Limited (BSE: 533148; NSE: JSWENERGY) disclosed that India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra), in a release dated 26 June 2026, assigned 'IND A/Stable' to the bank-loan facilities of JSW Renew Energy Three Limited, a step-down subsidiary. The rating supports financing for the renewables arm as JSW Energy expands its green-generation and storage pipeline, reflecting the parent group's continuing push into clean-power capacity addition.
8ICRA withdraws ratings on ACME Chittorgarh Solar Energy's bank facilities
ICRA has withdrawn the ratings assigned to the bank facilities of ACME Chittorgarh Solar Energy Private Limited (ACSEPL), in line with its policy on rating withdrawals; key rating drivers, liquidity and sensitivities were not captured as the instruments are being withdrawn. The action removes external surveillance on the solar SPV's debt, a development lenders to ACME-group project vehicles will note.
8ICRA withdraws 'B+ (Stable)' ratings on Energia Biofules LLP
ICRA has withdrawn the long-term [ICRA]B+ (Stable) ratings, tagged Issuer Not Cooperating, on the fund-based cash-credit and term-loan facilities of Energia Biofules LLP. The withdrawal follows the issuer's non-cooperation with the rating process, leaving the biofuels venture's debt without an active ICRA rating and removing a key surveillance signal that lenders had relied upon to monitor the entity's credit profile and repayment capacity over time.
8ICRA keeps K G N Electricals' Rs. 5-crore facilities in 'Issuer Not Cooperating' category
ICRA said the ratings on K G N Electricals continue to remain under the Issuer Not Cooperating category, with the long-term Rs. 5.00-crore fund-based limit at [ICRA]B+ (Stable) and short-term non-fund-based facilities at [ICRA]A4. The continued INC tag reflects the electrical contractor's failure to provide information for surveillance, a credit-monitoring red flag for its lenders that signals heightened risk around the firm's outstanding facilities.
8ICRA reaffirms TNPDCL bond rating at 'A-(CE) Stable', withdraws Rs. 20-crore NCD
ICRA reaffirmed the [ICRA]A-(CE) (Stable) rating on the non-convertible bond programme of Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) and withdrew the rating on a Rs. 20.00-crore NCD, noting Rs. 33.93 crore of the programme was partially repaid per schedule. The credit-enhanced (CE) rating reflects the structural support underpinning the Tamil Nadu DISCOM's market borrowings amid sector-wide distribution stress affecting state-owned power utilities.

NEWS UPDATE: COAL, FUEL & GENERATION
Jun 24:
COAL PRODUCTION & STOCK
8CEA's daily coal-stock report flags critical-stock thermal plants as on 22 June 2026
The Central Electricity Authority's Fuel Management Division daily coal stock report as on 22 June 2026 tracks coal stock in days against normative requirement at 85% PLF for monitored thermal stations, flagging plants with critical stock. PSPCL's fleet, for instance, ran at 55% PLF with 141% of normative stock, while several utilities sat below the critical threshold; the report is the key early-warning tool for coal-supply adequacy at power plants ahead of peak demand.
8Coal India reports plant-wise coal stock and dispatch status as on 22 June 2026
Coal India Limited's Marketing & Sales Division status report as on 22 June 2026 details coal stock, receipt and dispatch at power plants in the revised format. The data show supply performance to thermal stations from the country's dominant coal producer and complement the Central Electricity Authority's stock monitoring in assessing fuel security at generating stations ahead of high summer demand.
GENERATION & PLF
8CEA's daily generation report shows the western region 0.9% above and the north 6.6% below target on 21 June
The Central Electricity Authority's daily generation report for 21 June 2026 gives region-wise generation versus programme, with the western region generating 1,670.95 MU (up 0.86%) and the northern region 1,290.29 MU (down 6.56% against a 1,317.64 MU programme). Monitored capacities stand at 104,702 MW (west), 82,527 MW (north) and 71,705 MW (south), and the deviations highlight which regions ran ahead of or behind plan on the day.
8CEA's fuel-wise report shows the 251,489 MW thermal fleet generated 4,786 MU on 21 June 2026
The Central Electricity Authority's category- and fuel-wise daily generation report for 21 June 2026 shows total thermal monitored capacity of 251,489 MW and all-fuel monitored capacity of 312,334 MW, generating about 4,786 MU on the day against a 4,654 MU programme, excluding renewables. The fuel-wise split tracks coal, gas, hydro and nuclear contributions and frames the conventional-fuel base underpinning the national grid at peak demand.
8CEA reports thermal and nuclear units out of grid for over 15 days, including Pragati CCPP's 104.60 MW unit
The Central Electricity Authority's daily generation report for 21 June 2026 lists thermal and nuclear units out of the grid for more than 15 days during 2026-27, such as Pragati CCPP Unit-1 (104.60 MW), idle since July 2025 on low system demand and costly fuel. Prolonged outages signal stranded or uneconomic capacity, and the list helps planners identify chronic availability gaps in the monitored fleet.
8WRPC publishes March 2026 thermal generator performance for western stations like the 1,600 MW Gadarwara
The Western Regional Power Committee released a revised generator performance statement for March 2026 covering western-region thermal units including Mauda, Vindhyachal, Solapur, Gadarwara, Khargone and NSPCL, with installed capacity, gross and net generation, heat rate, auxiliary consumption and availability. Super-critical units such as the 1,600 MW Gadarwara and 1,320 MW Solapur are tracked against normative benchmarks, underpinning fixed-charge recovery and incentive or penalty settlement for central generators serving the region.
HYDRO & RESERVOIR
8SRLDC's reservoir report pegs Idukki at 707.44 ft on 23 June, tracking southern hydro storage
GRID-INDIA's SRLDC reservoir report for 23 June 2026 lists levels, energy content and inflows for southern reservoirs, including Idukki at 707.44 against 717 a year earlier, Donkarai at 313.91 and Idamalayar at 137.68. Reservoir levels determine the dispatchable hydro available for peaking and balancing, and the data matter for monsoon-season hydro planning across the southern grid as inflows build, with storage levels and energy content guiding how much hydro can be banked for peak hours versus released for immediate generation.
8Odisha hydro stations average 365 MW as Balimela and Mukhiguda lead the 22 June reservoir report
The reservoir generation report dated 22 June 2026 shows Odisha's hydroelectric fleet averaging 365.25 MW, equivalent to 8.766 MU, led by Balimela at 203.17 MW (peak 379 MW) and Upper Indravati at Mukhiguda at 133.54 MW (peak 430 MW). Several units were offline for renovation or maintenance, including Balimela units 5 and 6, while Rengali and Machkund recorded nil generation, with Balimela's reservoir at 1,462.4 ft against a full level of 1,516 ft.

DIVIDEND & BOARD DECISIONS
8PFC board to take up PFC-REC merger scheme on 28 June 2026 under Sections 230-232
Power Finance Corporation Limited informed the exchanges on 23 June 2026 that its board will meet on 28 June 2026 to consider and approve the scheme of merger between PFC and subsidiary REC Limited and their shareholders and creditors, under Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act, 2013. The proposed amalgamation of the two Maharatna power-sector financiers would create a single dominant lender to India's power and infrastructure sectors, a landmark move for investors in both stocks.
FUND RAISING & CAPITAL
8PFC prices USD 300 million 5.32% notes due 2031 under its USD 8 billion GMTN programme
Power Finance Corporation Limited launched and priced USD 300 million of 5.32% notes due June 2031 on 22 June 2026 under its USD 8 billion Global Medium Term Note programme, with interest payable semi-annually in U.S. dollars. The dollar issuance diversifies PFC's funding for on-lending to the power sector and sets a fresh pricing benchmark for Indian power-finance paper offshore, a development relevant to fixed-income investors tracking Maharatna PSU credit.
8POWERGRID board to weigh USD 500 million ECB fundraise on 26 June 2026
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited told the exchanges on 23 June 2026 that its board will meet on 26 June 2026 to consider raising foreign-currency funds through External Commercial Borrowings of up to USD 500 million from domestic or foreign banks. The move signals fresh overseas borrowing by India's largest transmission utility to fund its capital-expenditure programme, with the trading window shut from 24 June until 48 hours after Q1 results, and is material to bondholders and POWERGRID's cost of capital.

8ICRA keeps Supreme Solar Systems at B+ under 'issuer not cooperating'
ICRA retained the long-term rating of Supreme Solar Systems at B+ (Stable) but kept it in the 'Issuer Not Cooperating' category on its cash-credit and term-loan facilities, citing inadequate information from the company.

CREDIT RATING & ANALYST REPORT
8CARE reaffirms IREDA at AAA as green loan book swells 39% CAGR to Rs 93,069 crore; FY26 disbursals hit Rs 34,946 crore
CARE Ratings reaffirmed 'CARE AAA; Stable' on multiple bond series of the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) — including a Rs 4,000-crore GoI fully-serviced issue — citing a loan book that has grown at a 39% four-year CAGR to Rs 93,069 crore as on 31 March 2026, with FY26 disbursements of Rs 34,946 crore (up about 16%). Gross NPAs rose to 3.50% and net NPAs improved to 1.29%; total borrowings stood at Rs 77,846 crore.
8CARE holds Tata Power Renewable at AA+ as operating fleet hits 6.5 GW with 968 MW added in FY26 and 5.1 GW building
CARE Ratings reaffirmed 'CARE AA+; Stable / CARE A1+' across Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited's (TPREL) facilities — including Rs 2,670.86 crore and Rs 4,324 crore bank lines plus several NCD series — on the strength of an operational portfolio that grew to about 6.5 GW by 31 March 2026 with roughly 968 MW of solar added in FY26. The rating weighs a 5.1 GW under-construction pipeline, a 4.3 GW integrated cell-and-module plant at Tirunelveli running above 95% utilisation, and a leveraged total debt/EBITDA of 6.2x.
8ICRA reaffirms Jindal Green Wind 1 at A+, lifts rated amount to Rs 1,400 crore for 2.8 GW Jindal Steel captive project
ICRA reaffirmed '[ICRA]A+ (Stable)' on Jindal Green Wind 1 Private Limited's Rs 643.42-crore term loans and enhanced its non-fund-based limits from Rs 150 crore to Rs 1,400 crore, taking a consolidated view of a 2.8 GW captive renewable framework with Jindal Steel Limited — 1.4 GW of solar under SRNPL and 1.4 GW of wind under JGW1PL. The fixed-tariff captive structure was flagged as providing strong revenue visibility while mitigating offtake and pricing risk.
8CARE assigns 'A; Stable' to ReNew's Sunlight Energy backing a 43 MW group-captive solar project in Maharashtra
CARE Ratings assigned 'CARE A; Stable' to Rs 138 crore of bank facilities of Renew Sunlight Energy Private Limited, which operates a 43 MW (60.21 AC MWp) solar project under the group-captive scheme in Maharashtra. The rating leans on the firm's parentage as a 68% subsidiary of Renew Green Energy Solutions, adding a fresh financing data point for captive solar serving commercial and industrial offtakers in the State.

8ICICI Securities rates CG Power 'BUY' at Rs 1,120 target on record Rs 15,719 crore order book and data-centre capex
ICICI Securities initiated a 'BUY' on CG Power & Industrial Solutions Ltd at a 12-month target of Rs 1,120 — a 17% upside from the current market price of Rs 960 — framing it as a proxy for India's transmission-and-distribution and data-centre capex cycle. The Murugappa Group company closed FY26 with a record standalone order backlog of Rs 15,719 crore (up 59% year-on-year), including a Power Systems backlog of Rs 12,644 crore (up 91%) and a Rs 900-crore power-transformer order for a US data centre; the brokerage sees revenue compounding about 27% annually over FY26-29E.
8Vedanta Power pitches 4,780 MW thermal portfolio with 74% contracted PPAs and AA- rating in bid for top-3 private producer slot
Vedanta Power Limited's investor handout markets direct access to what it calls India's fifth-largest private thermal portfolio — 4,780 MW across four independent power producers, 74% of capacity tied to long-term PPAs with state discoms, 85% coal-linkage coverage and an ICRA 'AA-' rating — as it targets a place among India's top three private thermal generators.
