8Green Day-Ahead Market trades 866 MU in June 2026; West Bengal tops buying at 232 MU
Green Day-Ahead Market (G-DAM) data for June 2026 show buy and sell volumes each totalling 866.23 MU across 146 participating entities. West Bengal was the largest buyer at 231.74 MU, followed by Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, while the sell side was dominated by renewable generators, including Adani Green SPVs across Khavda and Rajasthan pooling stations, Ambuja Cements' captive RE portfolio of over 60 MU, and hydro stations such as Subansiri Lower and Rongnichu HEP. The G-DAM's monthly churn is a barometer of exchange-traded green power liquidity as discoms lean on it for RPO compliance.
8IEX Green Day-Ahead Market clears renewable power at Rs. 6,121.50/MWh average on July 1 as solar supplies half the volume
Data from IEX's Green Day-Ahead Market for July 1, 2026 shows an average market clearing price of Rs. 6,121.50/MWh, with prices swinging from a solar-hour low of Rs. 1,104.32/MWh to the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling in non-solar blocks. Average cleared volume stood at 1,233 MW per 15-minute block, of which solar contributed 615 MW, non-solar renewables 512 MW and hydro 106 MW, while purchase bids averaging 4,564 MW against sell bids of just 1,774 MW underline a green power market that remains heavily buyer-constrained.
8IEX green market trades 2.19 lakh MWh in eight days as weighted prices hold near Rs. 3,917/MWh
Between June 25 and July 2, 2026, the IEX Green Day-Ahead Market cleared a cumulative 219,381.64 MWh, with solar alone contributing 130,997.60 MWh, roughly 60% of all green volume traded. Daily market clearing prices ranged from Rs. 5,201.78/MWh to Rs. 6,457.48/MWh, while the volume-weighted average settled around Rs. 3,917.04/MWh thanks to cheap midday solar. Purchase bids of 10.71 lakh MWh dwarfed total sell offers of 2.86 lakh MWh across the period, keeping the market persistently short of green supply.
8Rival exchange's Green Day-Ahead Market segment registers zero trades across all 96 blocks on July 1
The block-wise and hourly Green Day-Ahead Market snapshots published by the competing power exchange platform for July 1, 2026 show nil purchase bids, nil sell bids and zero cleared volume across all blocks and 24 hours, including solar, non-solar and hydro sub-segments. The contrast with IEX's roughly 29,600 MWh of G-DAM clearance the same day highlights the extreme liquidity concentration in India's green electricity markets, strengthening the case CERC has flagged for market-coupling across exchanges.
8Ten straight days of zero green DAM volume on competing exchange, June 23-July 2 data shows
The day-wise Green Day-Ahead Market summary from the competing exchange covering June 23 to July 2, 2026 records zero purchase bids, zero sell bids and zero cleared volume on every single delivery day, with solar, non-solar and hydro sub-segments alike showing no scheduled volume or market clearing price throughout the ten-day window. The report quantifies a complete absence of green-market liquidity on the platform even as national green day-ahead volumes averaged more than 27,000 MWh daily elsewhere.
8IEX Day-Ahead prices hit Rs. 10,000/MWh cap through the night of July 1 before solar crash to Rs. 1,092
Data from the IEX Day-Ahead Market for July 1, 2026 shows the market clearing price pinned at the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling through most night blocks, with purchase bids near 19,864 MW at midnight against sell offers of barely 2,421 MW. By the solar hours the market flipped, with hour-12 blocks clearing near Rs. 1,092.58/MWh as sell bids ballooned past 52,000 MWh, an almost ten-fold intraday price spread that quantifies the duck-curve stress on India's grid. Final scheduled volume for the day reached roughly 150,365 MWh.
8IEX Day-Ahead Market averages 153,289 MWh daily over June 25-July 2 as MCP peaks at Rs. 6,438 on June 29
The eight-day IEX Day-Ahead Market summary covering June 25 to July 2, 2026 shows total traded volume of 12.26 lakh MWh, averaging 153,289 MWh per day, with daily unconstrained MCPs ranging between Rs. 4,566.76 and Rs. 6,438.16/MWh. June 29 marked the week's stress point, purchase bids surging to 643,104 MWh and driving the highest daily MCP of Rs. 6,438.16/MWh on cleared volume of 171,077 MWh, before weighted average prices softened to Rs. 3,633.87/MWh by July 2 as monsoon demand eased.
8Sellers park 66,367 MWh in IEX High-Price DAM on July 1 but attract zero buyers
Data for IEX's High-Price Day-Ahead Market, the segment where costly gas and imported-coal plants can offer above Rs. 10,000/MWh, shows sell offers of 2,308.20 to 3,102.20 MW in every 15-minute block of July 1, 2026, totalling 66,367.05 MWh, against zero purchase bids and nil cleared volume across all 96 blocks. With mainline DAM prices averaging Rs. 4,103/MWh weighted, no buyer needed super-premium power, meaning July 1 saw no scarcity severe enough to activate India's costliest generation tier.
8IEX High-Price DAM clears only 40.78 MWh in eight days, all at Rs. 20,000/MWh
Daily summary data for the IEX HP-DAM between June 25 and July 2, 2026 shows cumulative sell offers of 476,034.11 MWh drawing purchase bids of just 8,611.83 MWh, with final scheduled volume of a mere 40.78 MWh across the entire window. The only trades occurred on June 29 (27.40 MWh) and June 30 (13.38 MWh), both clearing at a weighted MCP of Rs. 20,000/MWh, double the regular market cap, while five of the eight days saw zero buy interest despite standing sell offers exceeding 57,000 MWh daily.
8Competing exchange's High-Price DAM segment completely empty on July 1, zero across all columns
The block-wise and hourly HP-DAM data from the rival exchange platform for July 1, 2026 shows zero purchase bids, zero sell bids, zero cleared volume and zero scheduled volume across all blocks and 24 hours. Unlike IEX's HP-DAM, where sellers at least posted 66,367 MWh of offers the same day, this venue attracted neither side of the market, adding to the liquidity-concentration story running across every market segment reported for the week.
8Ten days, ten zeros: rival exchange's HP-DAM logs no bids June 23-July 2
The day-wise High-Price Day-Ahead Market summary from the competing exchange covering June 23 through July 2, 2026 shows zero purchase bids, zero sell offers and zero cleared volume on every one of the ten delivery days, with total, maximum, minimum and average MCP rows all reading 0.00. Over the identical window, IEX's HP-DAM at least cleared 40.78 MWh at Rs. 20,000/MWh, making the contrast in premium-segment liquidity absolute.
REAL-TIME MARKET (RTM)
8IEX Real-Time Market schedules 197,824 MWh on July 1 with prices whipsawing from Rs. 400 to Rs. 10,000/MWh
Data from IEX for July 1, 2026 shows 202,491 MWh cleared and 197,824 MWh finally scheduled after congestion adjustments in the Real-Time Market, at an average MCP of Rs. 3,566.43/MWh. Midnight blocks cleared at the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling on purchase bids above 17,000 MW, while intraday blocks fell as low as Rs. 399.86/MWh amid sell offers peaking at 36,942.50 MW, with sell-side depth nearly double the buy interest keeping most daylight hours comfortably supplied.
8IEX Real-Time Market moves 13.84 lakh MWh in eight days; June 27 MCP spikes to Rs. 7,002/MWh
Cumulative IEX Real-Time Market data for June 25-July 2, 2026 shows 13,83,682 MWh of final scheduled volume, averaging 172,960 MWh a day at a mean MCP of Rs. 4,525.75/MWh. June 27 was the tightest day, purchase bids of 987,372 MWh against sell offers of just 235,519 MWh driving the daily MCP to Rs. 7,002.41/MWh, before the market loosened dramatically by July 2, with the daily MCP falling to Rs. 1,718.83/MWh on scheduled volume of 115,919 MWh.
8Second exchange's Real-Time Market blank on July 1, zero bids and volume across all blocks and hours
The rival exchange platform's block-wise and hourly Real-Time Market data for July 1, 2026 records zero purchase bids, zero sell bids, zero cleared volume and zero scheduled volume in every block and hour of the day, with even the real-time curtailment column showing nothing to curtail. On a day when IEX's RTM scheduled nearly 198,000 MWh, the competing venue transacted not a single unit, a stark liquidity benchmark for the real-time segment.
8Rival exchange RTM clears just 1,769 MWh over ten days, at a Rs. 9,227/MWh average
The day-wise Real-Time Market summary from the competing exchange for the period ending July 2, 2026 shows cumulative purchase bids of 29,156.75 MWh but only 2,123.75 MWh of sell offers, resulting in just 1,769 MWh of cleared and scheduled volume across the entire window. What little traded went at scarcity prices, an average MCP of Rs. 9,227.02/MWh, with individual clears between Rs. 7,671.50 and the Rs. 10,000/MWh cap, and peak block activity never exceeding 621 MW of cleared volume.
8PXIL-format RTM volume profile shows no cleared trades in any block on July 1
The RTM Market Volume Profile Report for July 1, 2026 delivery shows dashes and zeros across purchase bids, sell bids, market cleared volume, scheduled volume and MCP for all 96 fifteen-minute blocks and all 24 hours, including the solar surplus hours when real-time prices elsewhere fell towards Rs. 900/MWh. Not one block or hour attracted matched buy and sell interest on the platform for the day, confirming the real-time segment lay completely dormant.
8Buyers sought 46,175 MWh but sellers offered only 800 MWh: exchange RTM cleared everything at Rs. 10,000/MWh
The multi-day RTM volume profile covering June 25-July 2, 2026 lays bare an extreme supply squeeze on the platform: on June 27, purchase bids hit 46,175 MWh against sell offers of just 800 MWh, and every one of the six trading days in the window cleared at exactly Rs. 10,000/MWh, the regulatory price cap. Daily cleared volumes were tiny, ranging from 370.95 MWh on June 30 to 2,550 MWh on June 25, with July 1 and 2 showing no activity at all.

8IEX Green Term-Ahead contracts trade at Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling on July 1 as daily contingency volumes stay thin
Trade data published by IEX for its Green Term-Ahead Market on July 1, 2026 shows Daily Contingency block contracts uniformly clearing at the Rs. 10,000/MWh price cap. Individual instruments traded modest volumes of 8.34 to 16.79 MWh in the early-morning blocks, with buy and sell bid counts of just two to three per contract. Ceiling-level prices in the green term-ahead segment signal urgent short-term demand for renewable attributes that day-ahead supply is not meeting.
8IEX Term-Ahead Market: northern region blocks trade 78.9 MWh at Rs. 10,000/MWh cap on July 1
Trade data from the IEX Term-Ahead Market for July 1, 2026 shows Daily Contingency contracts clearing at the Rs. 10,000/MWh price ceiling across Eastern, Northern, Southern and Western region instruments, with NR blocks the most active at 78.90 MWh and 11 matched bids per block. Southern region hourly contracts traded smaller 3 MWh clips at Rs. 7,150/MWh, the only sub-ceiling prices in the report, aligning with the region's 505 MW peak shortage reported by NLDC for June 30.
ANCILLARY & INTRADAY (ASDAM/IDAS/SCUC)
8Ancillary Services Day-Ahead Market records zero bids in all blocks and hours for July 1 delivery
The block-wise and hourly Ancillary Services Day-Ahead Market data for July 1, 2026 shows zero transaction bids, zero cleared volume and a 0.0000 weighted average MCP for UP-regulation reserves across all 96 fifteen-minute blocks and 24 hours. The market-based ancillary mechanism attracted no participation for the delivery day; grid reserves were instead met through administered SCUC and reserves regulation, as Grid-India separately scheduled 64,595 MWh of SCUC-Up the same day.
8Nine consecutive days without a single AS-DAM trade, June 23-July 1 summary shows
The day-wise Ancillary Services DAM summary spanning June 23 to July 1, 2026 shows zero UP-regulation bids and zero cleared volume on all nine delivery days, with the cumulative market total reading 0 MWh and maximum, minimum and average MCP entries all sitting at 0.0000 Rs./MWh for the period. With the grid leaning on 58,000-65,000 MWh of daily SCUC-based reserves instead, the data poses a direct design question for CERC's ancillary services market framework.
8Solar-shaped sell offers up to 50 MWh per block find no buyers in IDAS segment on July 1
The Intra-Day/Any-Day Contingency Market Volume Profile for July 1, 2026 shows sell offers appearing from the 05:30 block, climbing through the morning to roughly 50 MWh per 15-minute block by 08:15, tracking a classic solar generation curve, yet not a single MWh cleared because purchase bids were absent all day. Hourly data confirms sell bids peaked at 201.50 MWh in the 08:00-09:00 hour while purchase bids, cleared volume and MCP stayed blank for all 24 hours.
86,486 MWh of IDAS buy bids on June 29 never met the 546 MWh of sell offers, no trades all week
The day-wise IDAS volume profile for deliveries between June 25 and July 2, 2026 shows a market where buyers and sellers repeatedly missed each other: June 29 drew 6,486 MWh of purchase bids against only 546 MWh of sell offers, yet nothing cleared, while July 2 attracted 2,726.25 MWh of sell offers with no buy interest at all. Across the full window the cleared volume and MCP columns remain empty on every single day, a structural liquidity mismatch.
8NLDC's SCUC roster for July 2 commits 60-plus units; NTPC Darlipali cheapest at 115.9 paise/kWh
Grid-India's Security Constrained Unit Commitment table, published July 1 for July 2, 2026 delivery, schedules more than 60 thermal units in merit order of energy charge rate, led by NTPC Darlipali at 115.9 paise/kWh (281.04 MW) and Talcher at 130.4 paise/kWh. The roster spans the NTPC fleet from Sipat and Korba in the sub-140-paise band through Singrauli's 948.36 MW at 198.7 paise to Unchahar units near 380 paise/kWh, concentrated in blocks targeting the evening ramp when solar recedes.
8Grid-India ramps SCUC-Up reserves 9.7% to 64,595 MWh on July 1 as balancing needs climb
Grid Controller of India's daily Ancillary Services and SCUC report shows 64,595 MWh of SCUC-Up energy scheduled for July 1, 2026, up 9.7% from 58,888 MWh a day earlier on June 30, alongside SCUC-Down of -23,213 MWh versus -22,011 MWh. The day-on-day increase in both up and down commitments reflects rising monsoon-season variability in demand and renewable output, and with the exchange-based AS-DAM registering zero volume the same day, SCUC remains the grid's sole functioning reserve-procurement channel.
8NRPC settles Week-12 ancillary services and SCUC accounts covering SRAS, TRAS and gas-based high-demand operations
The Northern Regional Power Committee on 1 July 2026 issued the Ancillary Services (SRAS and TRAS) and Regional SCUC accounts for 15-21 June 2026 (Week 12, FY 2026-27), prepared under the CERC Ancillary Services Regulations, 2022 and the procedure implementing the Ministry of Power scheme for operating NVVN-tendered gas-based stations during high-demand periods, including TRAS-Emergency dispatches. SRAS providers are compensated from the DSM pool for up and down regulation with incentives, with all dues to be settled on or before 8 July 2026.
DEVIATION SETTLEMENT (DSM)
8PXIL's DSM segment trades nothing on July 1, zero cleared buy and sell in all 96 time blocks
Power Exchange India Limited's Deviation Settlement Mechanism report for July 1, 2026 shows cleared buy volume, cleared sell volume and price at zero for every 15-minute period from 00:00 to 24:00. No entity used the PXIL platform to manage deviation exposure for the delivery day, and with grid frequency averaging a healthy 50.017 Hz and DSM rates linked to well-supplied real-time prices, the incentive to trade deviations through PXIL was evidently absent.
8NRPC bills Week-12 deviation charges under Karnataka High Court's interim shadow; payment due July 11
The Northern Regional Power Committee on 1 July 2026 issued the statement of charges for deviation for 15-21 June 2026 (Week 12, FY 2026-27), prepared under the CERC DSM Regulations, 2024 and in compliance with the Karnataka High Court's interim order dated 27 April 2026 in Writ Petition No. 13260/2026. Northern regional entities must pay into the NR Deviation and Ancillary Services Pool Account on or before 11 July 2026, failing which a late payment surcharge of 0.04% per day applies.
8Jindal Power's Simhapuri unit pays Rs. 9.4 lakh interest on Rs. 18.4-crore delayed DSM dues in SRPC's May 2026 ledger
The Southern Regional Power Committee's annexure of delayed payments to the SR Deviation and Ancillary Services pool for May 2026 shows Jindal Power Limited's Simhapuri unit remitting Rs. 18.38 crore late with interest of Rs. 9.38 lakh, alongside Meenakshi Energy and a clutch of renewable generators and Qualified Coordinating Agencies, including SAEL Solar, Sprng Renewable Energy, Vena Energy, Azure Power and IRCON Renewable, that together paid lakhs in delay interest computed at 0.04% per day.

8Green Day-Ahead Market trades 866 MU in June 2026; West Bengal tops buying at 232 MU
Green Day-Ahead Market (G-DAM) data for June 2026 show buy and sell volumes each totalling 866.23 MU across 146 participating entities. West Bengal was the largest buyer at 231.74 MU, followed by Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, while the sell side was dominated by renewable generators, including Adani Green SPVs across Khavda and Rajasthan pooling stations, Ambuja Cements' captive RE portfolio of over 60 MU, and hydro stations such as Subansiri Lower and Rongnichu HEP. The G-DAM's monthly churn is a barometer of exchange-traded green power liquidity as discoms lean on it for RPO compliance.
8IEX Green Day-Ahead Market clears renewable power at Rs. 6,121.50/MWh average on July 1 as solar supplies half the volume
Data from IEX's Green Day-Ahead Market for July 1, 2026 shows an average market clearing price of Rs. 6,121.50/MWh, with prices swinging from a solar-hour low of Rs. 1,104.32/MWh to the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling in non-solar blocks. Average cleared volume stood at 1,233 MW per 15-minute block, of which solar contributed 615 MW, non-solar renewables 512 MW and hydro 106 MW, while purchase bids averaging 4,564 MW against sell bids of just 1,774 MW underline a green power market that remains heavily buyer-constrained.
8IEX green market trades 2.19 lakh MWh in eight days as weighted prices hold near Rs. 3,917/MWh
Between June 25 and July 2, 2026, the IEX Green Day-Ahead Market cleared a cumulative 219,381.64 MWh, with solar alone contributing 130,997.60 MWh, roughly 60% of all green volume traded. Daily market clearing prices ranged from Rs. 5,201.78/MWh to Rs. 6,457.48/MWh, while the volume-weighted average settled around Rs. 3,917.04/MWh thanks to cheap midday solar. Purchase bids of 10.71 lakh MWh dwarfed total sell offers of 2.86 lakh MWh across the period, keeping the market persistently short of green supply.
8Rival exchange's Green Day-Ahead Market segment registers zero trades across all 96 blocks on July 1
The block-wise and hourly Green Day-Ahead Market snapshots published by the competing power exchange platform for July 1, 2026 show nil purchase bids, nil sell bids and zero cleared volume across all blocks and 24 hours, including solar, non-solar and hydro sub-segments. The contrast with IEX's roughly 29,600 MWh of G-DAM clearance the same day highlights the extreme liquidity concentration in India's green electricity markets, strengthening the case CERC has flagged for market-coupling across exchanges.
8Ten straight days of zero green DAM volume on competing exchange, June 23-July 2 data shows
The day-wise Green Day-Ahead Market summary from the competing exchange covering June 23 to July 2, 2026 records zero purchase bids, zero sell bids and zero cleared volume on every single delivery day, with solar, non-solar and hydro sub-segments alike showing no scheduled volume or market clearing price throughout the ten-day window. The report quantifies a complete absence of green-market liquidity on the platform even as national green day-ahead volumes averaged more than 27,000 MWh daily elsewhere.
8IEX Day-Ahead prices hit Rs. 10,000/MWh cap through the night of July 1 before solar crash to Rs. 1,092
Data from the IEX Day-Ahead Market for July 1, 2026 shows the market clearing price pinned at the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling through most night blocks, with purchase bids near 19,864 MW at midnight against sell offers of barely 2,421 MW. By the solar hours the market flipped, with hour-12 blocks clearing near Rs. 1,092.58/MWh as sell bids ballooned past 52,000 MWh, an almost ten-fold intraday price spread that quantifies the duck-curve stress on India's grid. Final scheduled volume for the day reached roughly 150,365 MWh.
8IEX Day-Ahead Market averages 153,289 MWh daily over June 25-July 2 as MCP peaks at Rs. 6,438 on June 29
The eight-day IEX Day-Ahead Market summary covering June 25 to July 2, 2026 shows total traded volume of 12.26 lakh MWh, averaging 153,289 MWh per day, with daily unconstrained MCPs ranging between Rs. 4,566.76 and Rs. 6,438.16/MWh. June 29 marked the week's stress point, purchase bids surging to 643,104 MWh and driving the highest daily MCP of Rs. 6,438.16/MWh on cleared volume of 171,077 MWh, before weighted average prices softened to Rs. 3,633.87/MWh by July 2 as monsoon demand eased.
8Sellers park 66,367 MWh in IEX High-Price DAM on July 1 but attract zero buyers
Data for IEX's High-Price Day-Ahead Market, the segment where costly gas and imported-coal plants can offer above Rs. 10,000/MWh, shows sell offers of 2,308.20 to 3,102.20 MW in every 15-minute block of July 1, 2026, totalling 66,367.05 MWh, against zero purchase bids and nil cleared volume across all 96 blocks. With mainline DAM prices averaging Rs. 4,103/MWh weighted, no buyer needed super-premium power, meaning July 1 saw no scarcity severe enough to activate India's costliest generation tier.
8IEX High-Price DAM clears only 40.78 MWh in eight days, all at Rs. 20,000/MWh
Daily summary data for the IEX HP-DAM between June 25 and July 2, 2026 shows cumulative sell offers of 476,034.11 MWh drawing purchase bids of just 8,611.83 MWh, with final scheduled volume of a mere 40.78 MWh across the entire window. The only trades occurred on June 29 (27.40 MWh) and June 30 (13.38 MWh), both clearing at a weighted MCP of Rs. 20,000/MWh, double the regular market cap, while five of the eight days saw zero buy interest despite standing sell offers exceeding 57,000 MWh daily.
8Competing exchange's High-Price DAM segment completely empty on July 1, zero across all columns
The block-wise and hourly HP-DAM data from the rival exchange platform for July 1, 2026 shows zero purchase bids, zero sell bids, zero cleared volume and zero scheduled volume across all blocks and 24 hours. Unlike IEX's HP-DAM, where sellers at least posted 66,367 MWh of offers the same day, this venue attracted neither side of the market, adding to the liquidity-concentration story running across every market segment reported for the week.
8Ten days, ten zeros: rival exchange's HP-DAM logs no bids June 23-July 2
The day-wise High-Price Day-Ahead Market summary from the competing exchange covering June 23 through July 2, 2026 shows zero purchase bids, zero sell offers and zero cleared volume on every one of the ten delivery days, with total, maximum, minimum and average MCP rows all reading 0.00. Over the identical window, IEX's HP-DAM at least cleared 40.78 MWh at Rs. 20,000/MWh, making the contrast in premium-segment liquidity absolute.
REAL-TIME MARKET (RTM)
8IEX Real-Time Market schedules 197,824 MWh on July 1 with prices whipsawing from Rs. 400 to Rs. 10,000/MWh
Data from IEX for July 1, 2026 shows 202,491 MWh cleared and 197,824 MWh finally scheduled after congestion adjustments in the Real-Time Market, at an average MCP of Rs. 3,566.43/MWh. Midnight blocks cleared at the Rs. 10,000/MWh ceiling on purchase bids above 17,000 MW, while intraday blocks fell as low as Rs. 399.86/MWh amid sell offers peaking at 36,942.50 MW, with sell-side depth nearly double the buy interest keeping most daylight hours comfortably supplied.
8IEX Real-Time Market moves 13.84 lakh MWh in eight days; June 27 MCP spikes to Rs. 7,002/MWh
Cumulative IEX Real-Time Market data for June 25-July 2, 2026 shows 13,83,682 MWh of final scheduled volume, averaging 172,960 MWh a day at a mean MCP of Rs. 4,525.75/MWh. June 27 was the tightest day, purchase bids of 987,372 MWh against sell offers of just 235,519 MWh driving the daily MCP to Rs. 7,002.41/MWh, before the market loosened dramatically by July 2, with the daily MCP falling to Rs. 1,718.83/MWh on scheduled volume of 115,919 MWh.
8Second exchange's Real-Time Market blank on July 1, zero bids and volume across all blocks and hours
The rival exchange platform's block-wise and hourly Real-Time Market data for July 1, 2026 records zero purchase bids, zero sell bids, zero cleared volume and zero scheduled volume in every block and hour of the day, with even the real-time curtailment column showing nothing to curtail. On a day when IEX's RTM scheduled nearly 198,000 MWh, the competing venue transacted not a single unit, a stark liquidity benchmark for the real-time segment.
8Rival exchange RTM clears just 1,769 MWh over ten days, at a Rs. 9,227/MWh average
The day-wise Real-Time Market summary from the competing exchange for the period ending July 2, 2026 shows cumulative purchase bids of 29,156.75 MWh but only 2,123.75 MWh of sell offers, resulting in just 1,769 MWh of cleared and scheduled volume across the entire window. What little traded went at scarcity prices, an average MCP of Rs. 9,227.02/MWh, with individual clears between Rs. 7,671.50 and the Rs. 10,000/MWh cap, and peak block activity never exceeding 621 MW of cleared volume.
8PXIL-format RTM volume profile shows no cleared trades in any block on July 1
The RTM Market Volume Profile Report for July 1, 2026 delivery shows dashes and zeros across purchase bids, sell bids, market cleared volume, scheduled volume and MCP for all 96 fifteen-minute blocks and all 24 hours, including the solar surplus hours when real-time prices elsewhere fell towards Rs. 900/MWh. Not one block or hour attracted matched buy and sell interest on the platform for the day, confirming the real-time segment lay completely dormant.
8Buyers sought 46,175 MWh but sellers offered only 800 MWh: exchange RTM cleared everything at Rs. 10,000/MWh
The multi-day RTM volume profile covering June 25-July 2, 2026 lays bare an extreme supply squeeze on the platform: on June 27, purchase bids hit 46,175 MWh against sell offers of just 800 MWh, and every one of the six trading days in the window cleared at exactly Rs. 10,000/MWh, the regulatory price cap. Daily cleared volumes were tiny, ranging from 370.95 MWh on June 30 to 2,550 MWh on June 25, with July 1 and 2 showing no activity at all.

STORAGE & GREEN HYDROGEN
8Shell's Sprng Energy, with 3.3 GWp operating, asks CERC to save BESS capacity from automatic connectivity revocation
Sprng Energy, the Shell Group renewable IPP with about 3.3 GWp operational and 1.7 GWp under construction, told CERC on 23 June 2026 that draft Regulation 5.2(m) of the GNA Fourth Amendment, which extinguishes additional BESS capacity whenever underlying connectivity is relinquished, should instead operate pro-rata for partial events, illustrating the point with a 150 MW solar plus 150 MW BESS configuration. It sought freedom to distribute LOA/PPA quantum across multiple project locations for FDRE, RTC and hybrid configurations, and retention of the existing one-month-from-COD land-document rule instead of a proposed 15-day deadline.
8THDCIL wants CERC to value pumped-storage trial power at 1.25x solar-hour market price instead of Rs. 2/kWh cap
THDC India Limited's comments on the draft CERC DSM (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2026 seek explicit application of the energy charge rate to both generation and pumping modes when computing deviation charges for Section 62 pumped hydro storage plants. THDCIL proposes that infirm power injected by standalone ESS before COD be paid at 1.25 times the weighted average daily solar-hour Area Clearing Price, netted for pumping-energy cost at 75% round-trip efficiency, instead of the draft's normal deviation rate capped at Rs. 2.00/kWh, and wants simple interest of 0.04% per day for delayed payouts.
8TNPDCL proposes 4-hour storage mandate by 2030 and opposes free non-solar-hour access in CERC GNA amendment
In the 23 June 2026 public hearing on the draft Connectivity and GNA (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2026, TNPDCL supported the proposed 2-hour minimum discharge requirement for grid-connected energy storage but urged phased escalation to 3 hours from 1 April 2028 and 4 hours from 1 April 2030 to bolster resource adequacy. The utility opposed withdrawal of connectivity with return of bank guarantees on start-date changes and free additional transmission access for RE-plus-ESS projects during non-solar hours, insisting every access right must carry matching transmission-charge liability.
ROOFTOP & DISTRIBUTED SOLAR (PM SURYA GHAR / KUSUM)
8TERC clears 60-kWp rooftop solar at Agartala Airport under PM Surya Ghar, keeping AAI's sanctioned capacity at 2 MWp
By Final Order No. 12 of 2026 dated 29 June 2026, the Tripura Electricity Regulatory Commission approved the Airports Authority of India's proposal to install a 60 kWp rooftop solar plant on CISF barracks at Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport, Agartala under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. The previously approved 1,750 kWp ground-mounted capacity stands reconfigured into 1,690 kWp ground-mounted plus 60 kWp rooftop, keeping total sanctioned solar capacity unchanged at 2 MWp alongside the existing 250 kWp plant, with respondent TSECL filing no objection.

It sought a 50% cut in the proposed Rs. 50,000/MW change-of-source fee, about 0.14% of solar capex of Rs. 3.5 crore/MW, and proposed that C&I merchant PPAs with investment-grade offtakers, minimum 10-year tenors and six-month financial closure qualify for connectivity conversion, citing a roughly 80 GW corporate demand opportunity.
8Serentica warns CERC's DSM Third Amendment penalises 25-30 GW of ISTS solar with contract rates far above generation cost
Serentica Renewables' submission dated 26 May 2026 on the draft CERC DSM (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2026 argues the deviation framework structurally disadvantages solar, which faces a 5% deviation band against wind's 10%, while contract rates track I-DAM prices that averaged Rs. 2,979.75/MWh during solar hours but Rs. 3,995.98/MWh across 24 hours in 2025. The company wants contract rates capped at the daily weighted average Area Clearing Price and interest at late-payment-surcharge rates for delayed payouts, noting 25-30 GW of ISTS-connected solar versus 10-12 GW of wind would bear the brunt.
8ACME Solar warns CERC draft GNA rules leave multi-site hybrid projects earning just Rs. 1.65 on a Rs. 3.25 PPA
ACME Solar Holdings' submission dated 10 June 2026 on the draft GNA Fourth Amendment flags that existing multi-located renewable generators which converted a bank-guarantee connectivity component to the land route are excluded from the new single-application dispensation, leaving the land component exposed to revocation on PPA extension, even though MoP bidding guidelines pay only 50% of tariff, Rs. 1.65/unit on a Rs. 3.25/unit hybrid PPA, when only one component is commissioned. ACME also wants the change-of-source window anchored to the actual date of GNA effectiveness.

OPEN ACCESS & WHEELING CHARGES
8MERC dismisses green open access petitions of UltraTech, CIE Automotive and NSEFI, sends applicants to revamped GOAR portal
In a common order dated 1 July 2026, the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission dismissed petitions by CIE Automotive India, UltraTech Cement, Jindal Saw and NSEFI along with Sunsure and ReNew group solar SPVs, who alleged MSEDCL and MSETCL unlawfully rejected or sat on Green Energy Long-Term Open Access applications beyond the 15-day deadline. The Commission held MSEDCL acted beyond its jurisdiction but declined deemed approval or refunds. With NLDC's revamped Green Open Access Registry portal operational since 15 December 2025, petitioners are free to reapply and MSETCL must process applications in a fair, time-bound manner.
COMMISSION ORDERS (CERC/SERC)
8DERC orders full upstream infrastructure costs into EV-charging demand notes, shielding Delhi consumers from PM E-DRIVE bills
The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission, through a Removal of Difficulty (Fourth) Order dated 1 July 2026, directed distribution licensees to include the full cost of distribution transformers, HT/LT cables, AC distribution boxes and civil works in demand notes raised on Charge Point Operators for EV charging stations under the PM E-DRIVE Scheme. For LT connections up to 200 kW these upstream costs were earlier absorbed in discoms' ARR; they will now be met from the scheme's subsidy and kept out of ARR, with Delhi Transco Ltd maintaining consolidated records of sites, demand notes and payments.
8KERC fast-tracks renewal of 20-year-old wind and mini-hydel PPAs with deemed-approval route at 85% of 20th-year tariff
The Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission issued a suo-motu order on 1 July 2026 creating a deemed-approval mechanism for renewal of PPAs of mini-hydel and wind projects completing their initial 20-year term. Generators applying at least 90 days before expiry must agree to supply at 85% of the 20th-year tariff or a negotiated tariff, whichever is lower; if the ESCOM fails to act despite a valid application, the PPA stands deemed extended. The order plugs a payment vacuum in which generators kept injecting energy after PPA expiry without being paid due to delayed renewals.
8TERC orders TSECL to pay Railways 50% of average cost of supply for regenerative-braking power fed into Tripura grid
In Final Order No. 10 of 2026 dated 16 June 2026, the Tripura Electricity Regulatory Commission directed that import and export energy recorded by ABT-compliant meters at Northeast Frontier Railway's traction substations at Kumarghat, Teliamura and Udaipur be duly accounted for in energy billing. TSECL must compensate NFR for energy injected through regenerative braking of electric locomotives at 50% of the Average Cost of Supply, applying the feed-in tariff mechanism under TERC's 2024 Gross/Net Metering Regulations, in a first-of-its-kind ruling monetising braking energy previously left unpaid.

OMBUDSMAN & CONSUMER GRIEVANCE
8Tamil Nadu Electricity Ombudsman cancels faulty name transfer on Erode farm power connection, orders records restored in 30 days
Allowing Appeal Petition No. 12 of 2026 by order dated 1 July 2026, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Ombudsman set aside the name transfer wrongly effected on agricultural service connection No. 04-335-003-69 in the Gobi Electricity Distribution Circle of TNPDCL, cancelling the change in favour of a third party and directing engineers to restore the earlier registration within 30 days. The Ombudsman held the transfer was processed without proper legal-heir documentation, a lapse the CGRF had failed to correct, clarifying that such corrections are administrative and do not adjudicate civil title.
8KSERC flags 265 consumer complaints bypassing KSEB grievance forums, orders online CGRF filing and faster solar meters

8Bandhabal ASU tender turns on lifecycle risk, with Rs 300 lakh entry gate only the first filter
The tender does not stop at asking who can build an ASU. It asks who can prove that similar cryogenic capacity has operated with high availability. That distinction quietly reshapes the eligible vendor pool.
8Rs 257 crore Tirupati WtE tender puts long-term PPP risk at the centre
Tirupati package is framed as a 12 MW waste-to-energy project, but the bid design goes much deeper than plant construction. The concession structure places technology, waste handling, power offtake and long-term O&M into one commercial frame. The details show why this tender could reshape how municipal waste projects are priced in Andhra Pradesh.
8Rs 3 crore EPC package enters a tighter bidding phase as it holds the line
The package goes beyond equipment supply and installation. It pulls commissioning, PG testing and O&M into one execution chain. That makes the technical risk sit deeper than the tender title suggests.
8Tender moves on Kalyanpur GIS tie-up for POWERGRID’s SS-158T package
This tender has opened a pre-bid route for a high-voltage GIS package tied to Gujarat’s RE evacuation build-out. The structure places the manufacturer inside the bid architecture before the final customer award is known. The fine print shows where the real control sits.
8Rs 97 crore transmission package moves into tighter turnkey execution framework
This high-value transmission package extends well beyond conventional transmission line construction. The tender combines corridor execution, terminal integration and released-material management within a comprehensive turnkey responsibility framework.
8Rs 1 crore EMD tender stretches into deeper mill-risk test at Durgapur PP-II
Durgapur PP-II coal mill R&M package has moved through a long corrigendum trail before price discovery. The latest changes sharpen capacity, wear-life and brownfield interface obligations without giving bidders much room for soft assumptions. The real test will be how contractors price risk after the 68-day shift.
8Repeated deadline revisions reshape competition for Rs-value coal mill renovation package
A routine schedule revision has evolved into a far longer procurement cycle than initially envisaged. Multiple corrigenda reveal a deliberate shift in bidding timelines that could reshape competitive dynamics without changing the engineering package. The implications extend beyond calendar changes and point to a broader procurement strategy.
8500 MW solar EPC bid schedule revised again as another key deadline reshapes market timing
Another timetable revision has extended the competitive window for a major utility-scale solar EPC procurement without altering the commercial framework. The move appears to be more than a routine administrative adjustment and could influence bidder preparation and participation ahead of technical submissions. The broader impact on competition and execution strategy becomes clearer when the complete sequence of revisions is examined.
8Rs 50 lakh Koradi EPC tender stretches bid clock as scope lines tighten around handling systems
Koradi package has moved through repeated corrigenda before price discovery. The headline equipment scope hides a sharper contest over capacities, layout responsibility and auxiliary-system risk. The final shape of the bid could decide how aggressively contractors price the next wave of balance-of-plant packages.
8Tender puts load forecasting at the centre of utility planning
The tender places forecasting and portfolio management inside a long-duration consultancy frame. That makes the mandate more strategic than a conventional software advisory. The unanswered issue is how sharply MPPMCL will define performance responsibility. Details
