Jul 2026

8Beneficiary states under-requisitioned below 85% of their entitlement, forcing nine Eastern-region thermal stations to run at part load, and the compensation bill for it reached about Rs 111.9 crore for the fiscal year to June. The stations that ran part-loaded also posted the region’s weakest frequency-response scores, so the pool is paying twice - once in compensation, once in lost grid support. Details
8The day-ahead market averaged Rs 6,801 a MWh on 20 July but sat at the Rs 10,000 ceiling through the overnight hours and again in the evening, then collapsed to about Rs 1,815 in the solar-flooded middle of the day. None of this was scarcity - the grid met a roughly 239 GW peak with barely a megawatt-hour of shortage; the crunch is the shape of the day, not a shortage of power. Details
8The Northern Region’s peak demand climbed through the June quarter to 93,981 MW and was met with under half a percent of shortage, with Uttar Pradesh the only state left short. Yet the quarter also shows how thin the margins are: single elements swung a gigawatt at a time. Details
8Jaiprakash Power Ventures reported a standalone Q1 profit of Rs 468.95 crore, up 69% year on year, even after absorbing a Rs 193.63 crore exceptional loss. In the same disclosure it flagged that NARCL has filed a Section 7 insolvency petition against it over a Rs 1,239 crore corporate guarantee - the overhang that now prices the stock. Details
8The Maharashtra commission allowed Adani Electricity Mumbai’s distribution arm to adopt a Rs 6.38 a unit tariff for 750 MW of round-the-clock renewable power under a ten-year deal, undercutting MSEDCL’s own effective benchmark. It is a signal on where firm-renewable pricing is settling. Details
8The power ministry told Parliament that 11 pumped-storage projects totalling 15,870 MW are under construction, with a further 24,010 MW in the pipeline. In the same week SECI’s first pumped-storage tender awarded 1,344 MW of a 1,500 MW offer, confirming the shift from policy to procurement. Details
8National coal stock at power plants held about 41 million tonnes, or roughly 21 days, on 19 July - but 26 individual plants were running critical, with Andhra’s Damodaram Sanjeevaiah at just 2% of its normative stock. The average hides a distribution problem, not comfort. Details
8PSPCL’s own management circulated an order on 20 July confirming that a joint front of power employees and pensioner bodies will hold a statewide protest and mass leave on 21–22 July, with pensioners threatening a “jail bharo” agitation. Chief engineers have been told to ensure every substation is manned through the stoppage. Details
8MERC determined a tariff of Rs 6.18 a unit for Waterfront’s 3 MW small-hydro project but refused to direct MSEDCL to sign a power-purchase agreement, because Maharashtra’s March 2026 renewable-energy policy dropped the procurement mandate. The regulator fixed the price and then found it could not compel the sale. Details
8Generation outages ran to about 40 GW across the northern, western and southern registers on 20 July, and the day added fresh forced trips - North Chennai’s 800 MW unit hand-tripped on an ESP problem and Rajpura’s 700 MW unit on a boiler-tube leak. This parked baseload is the other half of the day’s price story. Details
8Day-ahead power averaged Rs 6,801 a MWh on 20 July but sat at the Rs 10,000 ceiling overnight and at dusk
8Real-time power cleared just 3.34 MU at the Rs 10,000 ceiling; the green, intraday and ancillary segments did not clear
8Term and green contracts settled around Rs 7,500 a MWh as the high-price exchange (HPX) day-ahead did not clear on 20 July
8DVC floats an August reverse auction for two 100 MW thermal bands across the exchanges, e-auction 22 July Details
8All-India peak of about 239,106 MW was met on 20 July with roughly 1 MU of shortage
8The grid ran high 28% of 20 July - 6.75 hours outside the IEGC band, peaking at 50.251 Hz
8Rajasthan and the NR–ER corridor breached their transfer limits about 20% and 17% of 20 July
8Maharashtra shed about 0.195 MU on 20 July when a 132 kV line overloaded and grid-security load-shedding operated
8The Northern grid met a 93,981 MW June-quarter peak nearly shortage-free Details
8About 40 GW sat on outage on 20 July; North Chennai 800 MW and Rajpura 700 MW tripped
8Further 20 July trips took out KSTPS 500 MW, Meenakshi 350 MW, Paras, Neyveli, Ukai and Tuticorin units
8Yadadri’s 800 MW unit has been out on coal shortage since 9 July; ACBIL 135 MW out on coal since 12 June

8CEA's registers show almost 30 GW out of service for more than fifteen days in mid-July, much of it stranded gas but a hard core of it long-dead thermal and hydro. Sikkim's Teesta-III has been out about 21 months since a glacial flood, two Karnataka 400 kV corridors since May tower collapses, and Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin units since a March-2025 control-room fire. Details
8The Western committee's deviation account for the week to 5 July shows the region paying the East a net Rs 263 crore and receiving a net Rs 267 crore from the South - passing imbalance through itself rather than causing it. The largest single line in the pool is no thermal station but a Khavda solar aggregator, whose forecast error now moves more money than any coal plant. Details
8A new MNRE order lets net-metering and open-access renewable projects commission without the domestic solar-cell (ALMM List-II) requirement until 31 December 2026, superseding a stack of earlier extensions. On the same days, Delhi's regulator collapsed net-metering into a two-stage online process with hard 25- and 10-day connection deadlines. Details
8SECI has issued Tata Power a Letter of Award for pumped-storage service from a 324 MW / 2,592 MWh plant on a 40-year annuity, at an annual fixed charge of Rs 351.3 crore. It is a long-dated, availability-based storage contract rather than a merchant arbitrage bet - and the payment only starts once SECI ties up its own downstream buyers. Details
8The Commission held NTPC's 22.5-month slip in commissioning its Talaipalli captive coal mine to be beyond the company's control, fixing commercial operation at 1 October 2023 over discom objections. In the same order it capped the revised cost at Rs 4,340.50 crore, disallowed Rs 136.55 crore of claimed capital cost, and recorded that terminated contractor Thriveni had paid NTPC Rs 58.83 crore. Details
8On 17 July heavy flooding tripped all three inter-connecting transformers at the Champa pooling station on Buchholz protection, taking down a top-tier 765 kV evacuation hub for Chhattisgarh's coal belt. The WRLDC outage log records an operator writing that the situation was "out of control now due to continuously raining." Details
8The Northern committee's June frequency-response league table puts Parbati-III at 0.00 and a row of NHPC and SJVN hydro stations just above it, while NTPC's coal units sit at a perfect 1.00. Because the score feeds tariff, the hydro fleet that is supposed to stabilise frequency is being penalised for failing to. Details
8Twenty-seven thermal plants sat on critical coal stock in mid-July, the tightest cluster in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu, with APPDCL's 2,400 MW Damodaram Sanjeevaiah station down to 2% of its normative stock. The squeeze stopped being a warning and became lost megawatts when TGGENCO's Yadadri Unit 4 was shut for coal shortage. Details
8KSERC cleared KSEBL to buy 200 MW of round-the-clock power for a year at Rs 5.96 a unit, but recorded that the utility's Core Committee never costed the tariff impact and took two weeks to file after bidding closed. With reservoirs at 28% against a normal 60% and a peak deficit put at 500–1,000 MW, the Commission ordered load-shedding to be fixed a day ahead and held for a week. Details
8IEX's day-ahead and real-time markets cleared at the Rs 10,000 per MWh price cap in the morning and evening peaks on all three days, then crashed to Rs 1,300–1,900 in the solar midday. The Rs 20,000 high-price segment woke for a single night - a market pressed hard against its ceiling but rarely through it. Details
8On 18–19 July the Northern Region shed load in Punjab and Haryana even as the Western Region exported close to 300 million units a day with no shortage and no renewable curtailment. The gap is not missing megawatts - it is congested corridors and benched gas standing between surplus in one region and unmet demand in another. Details

81) Power Grid floats 1 GWh battery framework demanding firm prices without guaranteeing a single order Power Grid has invited first-stage bids for a 250 MW/1,000 MWh four-hour BESS long-term agreement. Capacity converts into work only when it wins external tariff tenders from SECI, states or DISCOMs. The partner must hold firm prices, sustain 95% availability and 87% round-trip efficiency at its own cost. Clause 9(e) guarantees no minimum quantity despite full readiness obligations.

82) POWERGRID picks its Sunni Dam–Luhri transmission contractor before knowing whether it will win the project The TL01 pre-bid tie-up covers the Nange–Koldam 400 kV double-circuit line. Award is conditional on POWERGRID winning RECPDCL's TBCB competition. The contractor must sign an exclusivity MoU and stay out of all rival bids. A mountain-specific 50 km qualification filter and 33-month clock frame the package.

83) UPRVUNL's pumped hydro tender absorbs six extensions without returning any developer risk The Rs 3,953 crore, minimum 640 MW project sits between the Rihand and Obra reservoirs. The developer must identify the layout itself, arrange land and clearances, and post a Rs 79.06 crore EMD. Commissioning must fit 54 months — 18 for the DPR and only 36 for construction. Every major execution and clearance risk stays with the developer.

84) Eleven corrigenda turn BHEL's Koradi lime-and-gypsum EPC into a different tender from the one first issued Six extensions have added 45 days to the original bidding window. Capacities are now fixed at 150/165 TPH for lime and 50/55 TPH for gypsum. Weighbridges, MCC buildings and pay loaders were pushed firmly into contractor scope. Escalation relief is capped at plus or minus 20% while intermediate LD stays.

85) WAPCOS caps its Atal Park consultancy at Rs 3.31 lakh while stretching the obligation across four-plus years The Cuttack assignment runs from concept and DPR through supervision and as-built documentation. The fee stays frozen through extensions of up to three additional years. Payment is back-to-back, released only after WAPCOS receives funds from Cuttack Development Authority. A 5% guarantee, 5% retention and exclusion of arbitration complete the burden.

86) BHEL's Koradi bottom-ash package extends contractor liability past commissioning and into plant operations The 970-day, no-deviation EPC withholds equipment payments where civil pricing falls below 50% of contract value. Latent-defect liability runs 24 months beyond the defect period. Conveyor belts damaged during operation must be replaced at contractor cost. Milestone slippage triggers 10% withholding from running-account bills.

87) WBSETCL's 55 km cable tender grants technical flexibility while refusing every commercial concession on copper risk The 33 kV XLPE procurement pairs a 120-day delivery clock with firm prices and a reverse auction. Order splitting can leave L1 with only 60% of the quantity. In-house NABL test reports and steel drums were accepted at pre-bid stage. The steel-drum reply collides with the wooden-drum specification without a formal amendment.

88) GPPC rewrites its Pipavav clarifier health study but parks half the fee behind a tender it does not control Amendment No. 1 opens eligibility from Gujarat to all of India and mandates NDT at 12 locations minimum. An impossible 50%-per-week penalty has been corrected to 5%, capped at 10%. Payment splits into four 25% tranches tied partly to a separate implementation tender. The amendment arrived months after the original bid schedule, making the chronology itself a live issue.

89) SECI pairs open-global access with a Rs 8.44 crore entry ticket for its 45.6 MW Ramagiri wind EPC The single package bundles design, supply, construction, commissioning and maintenance for an ISTS-connected project. A two-envelope evaluation will be followed by an e-reverse auction. The query window closes hours before the pre-bid meeting even begins. Maintenance period, turbine configuration and performance guarantees remain undisclosed.

810) MPPMCL's four-hour battery tender slips 57 days through three corrigenda and three addenda The 282.50 MW/1,130 MWh procurement follows a build-own-operate model with viability gap funding. EMD of Rs 4.80 lakh per MW means Rs 13.56 crore for the full capacity. A Rs 15 lakh processing fee raises entry costs before evaluation begins. Projects may sit anywhere in India, importing connectivity risk into every bid.

811) NTPC REL gives Nokhra battery bidders eleven more days and not one gram less risk Corrigendum No. 01 extends bid submission while the query deadline stays shut. Bidders must deliver 1,320 MWh of nameplate for 1,200 MWh of dispatch at the point of injection. Capacity must hold at 98% across 15 years with contractor-funded augmentation. A Rs 20 crore bid security guards the reverse-auction gateway.

812) NVVN puts Varanasi's green charcoal through 65 tests, one trip and one payment before it reaches the market The GeM tender covers charcoal, ash and emission testing down to dioxins, furans and mercury. All sampling must fit a single site visit at one consolidated charge. Full payment waits for report acceptance, with competition limited to 22 approved vendors. Bids sharing an IP address face summary rejection at either stage.

813) NHPC widens entry to its Rs 379.25 crore Jalaun solar evacuation package while keeping project-wide LD intact Corrigendum-1 broadens general experience to any large electrical infrastructure work, opening the gate beyond substation-and-line contractors. Three 33/400 kV pooling substations at Orai, Madhogarh and Pathrahi must be delivered within 24 months. Delay preventing beneficial use attracts LD on the total contract price, capped at 10% plus GST. Escrow payments, an interest-bearing advance against a 110% guarantee and 5% bill retention keep cashflow risk with the contractor.

8SECI floats 45.6 MW ISTS-connected wind project at Ramagiri, Andhra Pradesh, with 10-year O&M
SECI has invited bids for turnkey EPC of a 45.6 MW (+5%) wind power project at Ramagiri, Sri Sathya Sai district. It follows single-stage two-envelope bidding with e-reverse auction, a Rs 25,000 + GST processing fee and an Rs 8.44 crore EMD. The scope covers design through commissioning plus 10 years of comprehensive O&M. What's happening: SECI has split its 50 MW FDRE project into two separately awarded packages — this Wind package and a separate Solar+BESS one — but the wind contractor must still integrate both into a single functioning asset, keeping design, performance and lifecycle risk with the bidder.

 

8Powergrid invites bids for 16 units of 765 kV, 80 MVAR single-phase reactors under Lot-8
Powergrid has issued a tender for the 765 kV Reactor Package 7RT-34-BULK via the PRANIT portal. It is a lump-sum contract with a Rs 25,000 tender fee and EMD shown as Nil. Bid submission closes on 14 August 2026, with technical bid opening the same day; a pre-bid meeting is set for 28 July 2026. What's happening: Powergrid is aggregating sixteen reactors into one bulk package rather than ordering substation by substation, standardising specifications and securing manufacturing capacity in advance — keeping the field limited to proven high-voltage OEMs.

 

8Powergrid opens GeM tender for 765 kV current transformers across Eastern and Western Region-I
Powergrid has launched a GeM procurement for 765 kV current transformers, including 3000A, 4000A, extended-rating and six-core variants. Deliveries go to substations in Jharkhand, Bihar and Chhattisgarh over 365 days. It carries an Rs 8.71 lakh EMD and a 5% ePBG valid 26 months, reserved for Class-I local suppliers. Bids close 6 August 2026; the online pre-bid meeting is 23 July 2026. What's happening: Powergrid is pairing reverse-auction price discovery with Class-I local-supplier reservation for a specialised product, chasing lower prices without loosening technical entry barriers — which keeps competition among a small pool of qualified OEMs.

 

8Powergrid tenders 12 units of 765 kV, 80 MVAR reactors under 7RT-35-BULK with 60-month defect liability
Powergrid has issued a specification for 12 single-phase reactors under Lot-8, published 15 July 2026, with bids closing 13 August 2026. EMD is replaced by a bid-securing declaration, and an e-reverse auction applies. Reactors carry a 60-month defect liability, a further five-year latent-defect window and a Rs 8 lakh per kW loss LD. Six units must be commissioning-ready in 23 months and the remaining six in 26 months. What's happening: Powergrid is loading heavy lifetime-performance risk onto the contractor and deferring freight and insurance pricing until after it fixes destinations — so bidders win on ex-works price but negotiate logistics costs later, with little leverage.

 

8MPUVNL invites RESCO rooftop-solar bids across nine MP districts on a 25-year PPA model
MPUVNL has invited bids for grid-connected rooftop solar at government premises across nine districts, published 16 July 2026, with bids closing 17 August 2026. The developer finances, builds, owns and operates each system for 25 years under separate PPAs with each government DDO. EMD is Rs 1 lakh per MW, with performance security of Rs 1,750 per kW for each PPA, and the first-year tariff escalates 2% annually. What's happening: MPUVNL is capping each bidder's award at the lower of its EMD-backed and financial capacity, and fragmenting district awards into multiple DDO-level PPAs — turning the tender into a distributed 25-year operating platform rather than a simple EPC job.

 

8PFC appoints lender's legal counsel for Rs 254 crore Bikaner solar-plus-BESS financing
PFC has issued a GeM tender to appoint counsel for a ~Rs 254 crore loan to Juniper Nirjara Energy for a 42 MWp solar and 234.8 MWh BESS project, plus security changes to an existing 70 MWp solar loan. It is a two-packet limited tender among 12 empanelled category-A firms, with no EMD or ePBG, closing 31 July 2026, and the lump-sum fee is paid in five 20% milestones. What's happening: PFC needs the counsel to recast security so a new loan and an existing solar financing share collateral on a first pari-passu basis — buying execution certainty, with milestone payments hinging on registries and counterparties outside the firm's control while PFC keeps termination-at-will.

 

8TGGENCO floats two-year rate contract for grinding rolls and bull ring segments with conflicting qualification clauses
TGGENCO has invited two-part bids for grinding rolls and bull ring segments used in BHEL bowl mills across its 270–800 MW units, on a two-year rate-contract basis. Bids close 17 August 2026, with a Rs 1.15 crore EMD and a 10,000-hour operating guarantee with mid-life joint inspection. What's happening: The tender contradicts itself — five versus six years' experience, and Rs 30 crore versus Rs 7.20 crore solvency, across different sections — an unresolved drafting conflict that could decide who qualifies before price bids even open, while layered securities and firm pricing shift lifecycle risk onto the supplier.

8Day-ahead and real-time prices at fresh highs
Day-ahead cleared Rs 7,284/MWh for 17 July (Rs 7,049 for the 16th; Rs 2,490 on 12 July); real-time averaged Rs 7,723/MWh on 16 July before easing to Rs 6,911; green day-ahead firmed to Rs 7,024. Night blocks repeatedly hit the Rs 10,000 ceiling. Cleared volumes were ordinary (day-ahead 148,764 MWh for the 17th); the move is on price, driven by an evening buy-side scramble, not by volume.

8Demand near an all-time high
Maximum demand met 270,203 MW on 16 July, against the 270.8 GW national record of 21 May; energy met 6,002 MU. A monsoon peak this close to a heatwave peak is the demand signal behind the price move.

8Term-ahead and intraday markets pinned to the ceiling, clearing only in the evening
IEX term-ahead and green term-ahead contracts traded thin and mostly at the Rs 10,000 ceiling, with genuine clearing only in round-the-clock products (term-ahead round-the-clock West cleared 2,640 MWh at about Rs 7,953). The intraday segment cleared nothing all day. Real-time cleared only from about 19:30, and the PXIL deviation market only between 20:30 and 23:00 - buyers paying the ceiling, then Rs 5,500 - confirming the scarcity is a post-solar evening event.

8High-price and ancillary day-ahead segments did not clear
The high-price day-ahead market drew a sell-only book of about 72,000 MWh with no matching demand and no clearing price for a second running day; the ancillary-services day-ahead segment saw no bids and no activity all week. The unused sell-side capacity is another marker of daytime surplus.

8GUVNL floats a 400 MW reverse auction across three exchanges
Hindustan Power Exchange circular HPX_RA_01056 (16 July) sets a single-side reverse auction for Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam - three tranches of 400 MW covering 23–31 July, August and September, ceiling Rs 10,000/MWh, energy of any type - with the e-auction on 18 July; parallel auctions run on IEX and PXIL. A large discom buying blocks two to three months out is the mirror image of the evening-peak tightness.
