8Such a hybrid packaging layout is relatively rare and may demand dual-expertise bidding teams.
FOUR-WAY RACE FOR URBAN GIS NODE SEES TOP-TIER EPC NAMES JOIN
8A turnkey 220/132/33 kV GIS substation in Jaipur district has drawn four bids, including players with strong GIS and EHV experience.
8The multi-voltage configuration, led by a state transmission utility, suggests a premium on spatial optimization and rapid energization.
TECHNOLOGY TIE-UP CLAUSES DEEPEN IN REVISED DESULPHURISATION TENDER
8FGD tender mandates detailed technology transfer from foreign licensors, including design software and training, pushing accountability well beyond the older generic format. For Rs. 1200+ crore worth of work, such specificity is now non-negotiable.
8For the 3x660 MW desulphurisation package, the 2025 edition demands equity lock-in of 7 years and Deeds of Joint Undertaking from JV bidders major shifts from the older tender, which lacked enforceable structures for JV accountability.
8While retaining the technical core of wet limestone and single absorber per unit, the latest Rs. 1200+ crore tender wants bidders to show exactly this configuration in their reference projects narrowing room for loosely aligned credentials.
8Compared to its earlier version, the revised desulphurisation EPC tender brings a rulebook’s precision.
8From bid formats and financial limits to tech license rules and JV clarity, nearly every clause now reflects a legally fortified approach.
REBID DEEPENS JV SCRUTINY FOR ASH SYSTEM AT 3X800 MW THERMAL PLANT
8For a centrally owned supercritical coal project, the rebid of the ash handling EPC mandates 100% equity retention for seven years and binding joint deeds tightening eligibility norms compared to the cancelled predecessor.
8Unlike the previous tender, the current package for a supercritical thermal plant demands silos equipped for dry ash discharge and slurry retrofitting pushing long-term compliance readiness into design.
8For a major 3x800 MW coal-fired plant, the revised ash EPC demands margin-tested compressor systems and detailed pneumatic routing superseding the earlier tender’s loosely defined specs.
8Instead of a generic two-cover system, the new tender for the 3x800 MW project splits technical, pre-qual, and price bids distinctly improving bid granularity and aligning with internal audit trails. Details

EIGHT BID EXTENSIONS SIGNAL UNRESOLVED RISK IN 132 KV LILO TENDER
8BSPTCL’s Warisnagar substation EPC has now seen eight deadline shifts, with the latest bid date set for 18 June.
8The 18 RKM HTLS LILO and 2x80 MVA transformer scope seem to be deterring bidders despite RDSS clarity and defined corridor inputs.
8The tender specifies monopole towers for the 18 RKM HTLS LILO an uncommon choice for 132 kV lines in this terrain. The deviation from lattice tower standards could hint at RoW pressures or urban land constraints.
8Use of HTLS for the 18 RKM stretch marks a shift in BSPTCL's approach to conductor selection, aiming to minimize sag and thermal losses while enhancing load-carrying capacity—important for RDSS-linked reliability targets.
VINDHYACHAL–VARANASI CORRIDOR RELIEF PROJECT OPENS TO SURETY-BASED BIDDING
8For the 765 kV line relief scheme, the bid framework has been revised to accept IRDAI-regulated surety bonds marking a notable procedural shift in transmission sector procurement.
8New annexures 14A, 14B, 15A, and 15B formalize the legal templates for alternate instruments ensuring enforceability of surety-based submissions under the revised RFP framework.
8The RFP now validates Contract Performance Guarantees via PFC, REC, or IREDA instruments potentially reducing bid entry friction for developers with strong NBFC ties but limited bank limits.
8Persistent ATC and N-1 violations on the Vindhyachal–Varanasi line during high NR import led to this comprehensive relief scheme with the aim to ensure PSP power flow and grid resilience.

DISCOM’S 8,600-UNIT TRANSFORMER BID LINGERS AMID SCOPE COMPLEXITY
8Despite its high priority, the tender for Aluminium wound 63 kVA transformers with factory-fitted metering gear continues to face bidding delays.
8Vendors appear wary of the bundled supply specs and EE Level-I compliance demands.
8The state discom’s bulk transformer procurement has now seen nine deadline shifts, pushing the bid date to 18 June.
8The consistent deferrals hint at vendor-side uncertainties tied to the integrated scope and Star-1 energy efficiency norms.
8An over Rs. 100 crore procurement remains stuck in pre-bid limbo, with nine extensions.
8This reflects a larger disconnect between policy-driven specifications and vendor cost-risk expectations.
NINTH EXTENSION FLAGS BIDDER UNEASE IN DUAL-LINE SUBSTATION EPC
8The 2x80 MVA substation and 132 kV transmission line tender has now seen nine extensions, with bidding delayed to 18 June.

8The scope integrates a 26 RKM LILO and 28 RKM new DCDS line alongside the 132/33 kV switchyard.
8This dual-line overlay plus remote bay work at an existing substation raises execution and coordination demands uncommon in single-node tenders.
FIFTH EXTENSION FLAGS PERSISTENT UNCERTAINTY IN NTPC’S SWITCHYARD EPC
8The 400/765 kV AIS switchyard package has now seen its fifth deadline shift pushing submission to 7 July. Despite extensive clarifications, vendors appear cautious, likely due to complex interface needs and evolving control system expectations.
8Amended annexure redefine the 765 kV and 400 kV shunt reactor parameters, specifying N2 gas filling, corrugated fins, and site-mounted radiators.
8Such detailing marks a move away from earlier relaxed specs seen in Stage-I tenders.
8Latest replies to bidder queries confirm that the substation automation system must follow IEC 61850.
8All IEDs must interconnect over Ethernet with earlier options for relay-based wiring officially ruled out.
8Instead of a pooled structure, vendors must now erect discrete gantries per 400 kV and 765 kV bay.

Partial outage billing norms still missing in DSM calculations
8Despite CERC’s Clause 8(12) becoming effective on 16.09.2024, DSM accounts published by ERPC have yet to incorporate deviation charges at reference rates during partial outages. NTPC flagged this regulatory gap in both the 52nd and 53rd CCMs undermining generator financial recovery and violating explicit DSM rules.
Technical minimum breaches persist despite SCED commitments
8On 01.06.2025, Farakka-I/II, Farakka-III, and MTPS-II were scheduled below their technical minimum load even with SCED_MTL support confirmed for all blocks. Resulting DSM losses peaked at Rs 2 lakh/block. SCUC/SCED non-compliance raises grid stability and fairness concerns under IEGC-2023.
Generators forced into over-injection to avoid penalties
8NTPC units like Darlipali and Kahalgaon ran above schedule to maintain technical minimums in June 2025, with no matching beneficiary schedule or SCED support. Losses exceeded Rs 6.3 lakh for single-day overdrawals, highlighting systemic gaps in the scheduling software and regulatory enforcement.
Cyclic schedule ramping stresses thermal units, hikes DSM losses
8MTPS-II and Kahalgaon plants faced frequent ramp-up/down cycles block-to-block in April–May 2025, with no operational rationale. NTPC flagged excessive mechanical stress and financial penalty risks. OCC acknowledged the anomaly but corrective scheduling norms remain pending.
Grid beta performance distorted by SLDC methodology in Bihar
8NTPC flagged that Methodology-I, proposed by Bihar SLDC for Barauni, fails to reflect true frequency response (β) incentives. Despite CGS status, NTPC is being graded lower due to intra-state treatment diverging from NLDC’s CERC-approved national procedure.
RTDA and POC payment defaults escalate in West Bengal, Jharkhand
8As of June 2025, WBSEDCL owes Rs 236.76 Cr (45+ days overdue) and JBVNL Rs 106.92 Cr triggering a growing liquidity crunch in the regional transmission ecosystem. Both also lack valid LCs as per BCD norms, compounding the risk to grid payments.
GMR-JIPL bay swap hits a design deadlock at Angul
8The proposed bay swap at 765 kV Angul to enable JIPL-GMR joint evacuation faces a structural impasse shifting GMR-1 from bay 427 to bay 421 would render the original bay defunct due to multi-circuit tower interlocks. GMR seeks full bay ownership exchange.
PVUNL start-up billing anomaly unresolved despite dedicated line
8Though the Patratu–Patratu line is now available, PVUNL still draws startup power as a high-tension consumer under JBVNL terms violating IEGC norms. DSM billing based on HT contract demand instead of actual drawl (2–3 MVA vs 20.05 MVA) leads to excess payments of Rs 60 lakh/month.
No show from IPCL on drawl plan post-GNA commissioning
8Despite 100 MW GNA granted in October 2024 and line commissioning by Dec 2026, IPCL has not clarified if its post-line commissioning drawl will be in radial or meshed mode. ERLDC flags this uncertainty as commercially critical for DSM and transmission billing structure.
Odisha flagged for post-gate closure RTM scheduling by large industries

PRE-BID TIE-UP MODEL DEEPENS POWERGRID'S TBCB STRATEGY FOR 765 KV PROJECT
8Unlike conventional EPC invites, this 800+ km line bid is positioned as a pre-bid alignment tool ahead of POWERGRID’s tariff-based offer submission.
8The move gives it a strategic edge in SPV acquisition timing, unseen in similar solar-linked tenders last year.
8Old tenders had fixed milestones: LOA, mobilization, completion.
8This tender, by contrast, starts with a pre-bid alliance and leaves execution milestones open-ended until TBCB outcomes are final.
8The new tender doesn't commit to contract award bidders are tied in only if POWERGRID secures the SPV.
8This contrasts with the 2024 Karnataka tender where full project responsibility and timelines were locked from day one.
8Key specs like tower loading, earthing resistance, and span control which were rigidly defined in last year's bid are now deferred.
8The lean format reflects an intent to keep contractors flexible until POWERGRID’s SPV bid is accepted.

All-India generation shortfall hits 11.43% as southern and eastern regions drag
8Southern region posted a 16.76% shortfall against plan, followed by the east at 14.67%. All-India deviation reached -89.55 MU on June 7 despite summer peak season load.
Over 5,300 MW capacity tripped on June 7 due to forced outages and low fuel
8Thermal and gas units from IGSTPP, Rajiv Gandhi TPS, Salaya TPP, and Kathalguri CCPP were among those out of grid. Multiple fuel-shortage tags indicate coal and gas constraints.
Multiple high-capacity thermal units rejoin grid after outage-triggered downtime
8Chhabra-II, Dadri, Anpara, Kawas, Gandhar, and others synced back on June 7 following issues ranging from turbine vibration and drum level deviations to conservation-induced RSD.
RSD and fuel shortage dominate June 7 maintenance log for major thermal units
8Units at Kudgi, Dadri, Kawas, Gandhar, and Udupi reflect conservation of fuel and reserve shutdown status, suggesting weak grid demand or fuel logistics hurdles.
Nearly 49 GW capacity idled due to outage or stabilization issues across all fuels
8Thermal, hydro, and nuclear segments reported over 48,800 MW under various categories of non-availability as of June 7. Coal alone accounted for over 24.5 GW of outage.
Thermal plants see sharp performance gap with just 74.79% net utilization
8Despite being online, actual generation remained far below capacity especially in lignite and gas segments where net output was just 63.51% and 46.59%, respectively.
Daily generation misses June 7 program by 11.1%, coal and gas fall short
8The thermal segment missed its daily target by over 466 MU, with gas-based units underperforming by more than 23%. Nuclear and hydro helped soften the all-India gap.
Aggregate annual generation lags by over 41,000 MU amid repeated daily gaps
8From April 1 to June 7, monitored units generated 296 BU versus the programmed 337 BU. The largest deficit lies with coal at a 25 BU shortfall year-to-date.
Hydro outperforms on daily basis, but still lags on seasonal generation
8Hydro achieved 510 MU on June 7, ahead of schedule, but year-to-date output still trails by nearly 78 BU as monsoon inflows remain subdued across basins.
Low demand and operational constraints keep over 20 thermal units in RSD
8Reserve shutdown and low scheduling tags for Dadri, Udupi, Gandhinagar, Anpara, Panki, and others indicate systemic demand weakness or ramping bottlenecks.

Real-time prices touch ceiling at midnight: Early RTM blocks clear at 10/kWh
8RTM data shows multiple 15-minute slots between 00:00 and 00:30 clearing at the market price cap, hinting at overnight stress or gaming in the short-term market. Volume matched sell side offers, suggesting a tight buyer-driven window.
DAM continues split personality: Half-day spikes, half-day slump
8In DAM, market clearing prices (MCPs) opened at Rs 10/kWh for the first two blocks, dropped below Rs 2/kWh by mid-morning, and surged back to the ceiling for the final 4 hours. This V-shaped trend raises concerns over price predictability.
Green DAM hits price floor as hydro, solar oversupply drives MCP down
8Hydro and solar bids overwhelmed purchase bids in GDAM, pulling MCPs down to as low as Rs 1.68/kWh. High solar availability in hours 8–10 depressed prices despite decent demand.
HP-DAM fails to find buyers for 24 hours straight
8Not a single unit was cleared under HP-DAM on 9 June 2025. Despite over 124,000 MWh of sell bids, zero purchase interest led to complete market failure in this segment.
Evening peak backfires for sellers: Weighted DAM MCP crashes despite volume spike
8Despite a late surge in volumes, weighted DAM MCP remained subdued at Rs 2,400–c Rs 3,100/MWh during hours 15–17. High sell-side pressure in these slots muted returns for generators.
Market glut confirmed: Sell bids in RTM nearly double buy interest
8Sell bids in RTM reached 1.3 lakh MWh against only 77,000 MWh of purchase bids. This persistent oversupply, especially in mid-day slots, reflects generation availability far outstripping demand.
GDAM sees strong solar participation, but buyers still lag
8Hour 8 of GDAM saw solar sell bids cross 1,600 MWh, yet MCV was only 1,570 MWh, revealing a tight margin of acceptance. Hydro and non-solar bids were mostly rejected.
Real-time power volumes dominate HP-DAM and GDAM combined
8With nearly 58,000 MWh cleared in RTM, the segment outperformed both GDAM and HP-DAM combined, reaffirming its role as the preferred flexibility tool for DISCOMs.
Weighted MCP in RTM averages Rs 3.65/unit: Arbitrage gap with DAM widens
8RTM's average MCP undercut DAM's by nearly Rs 1/kWh across the day, offering significant arbitrage opportunities for flexible traders and industrial buyers.
Hydro-centric GDAM clears selectively: 70% of bids left on the table
8Only 31,000 MWh out of 97,000 MWh of hydro bids in GDAM were accepted. This mismatch underscores planning inefficiencies or lack of matching buyer segments.

MoP allocates 25 MW to Shree Cement under Section 11
8Ministry of Power approves 25 MW firm allocation to Shree Cement from DVC’s Raghunathpur TPS Stage-I. Order dated 4 June 2025 invokes Section 11, ensuring industrial supply continuity.
DVC to supply power at Rs 2.50/kWh plus fixed charge
8The energy charge is capped at Rs 2.50/unit with an additional fixed charge of Rs1.25/unit, totaling Rs3.75/kWh below average IEX rates, signaling state support for cement sector competitiveness.
Supply tied to Raghunathpur TPS: No change in generation profile
8The allocation is source-specific Raghunathpur TPS Stage-I, ensuring no load dilution elsewhere. DVC’s generation planning remains unaffected.
Shree Cement allowed open access through DVC lines
8DVC will facilitate transmission of the 25 MW to Shree Cement’s load centre via open access on its own system. No ISTS use means no CTU involvement easing integration.
Tariff and scheduling through DVC: No CERC/PPA route
8The power will be scheduled, billed, and paid for under DVC’s system. No central tariff or separate PPA, indicating streamlined intra-state control.
Allocation valid till Section 11 remains in force
8The 25 MW allocation is temporary effective only as long as Section 11 directions are active. This could be revoked with policy shifts.
Order bypasses standard competitive procurement norms
8Power is allocated administratively rather than through bidding or DEEP portal raising questions on transparency but justified under force majeure-like Section 11 conditions.
State industries quietly gain amid power stress
8While DISCOMs face LC shortfalls and merit order rejections, captive industrial buyers like Shree Cement are getting direct MoP allocations suggesting backchannel balancing.
No impact on grid security as no interregional flow involved
8Since the supply is entirely intra-DVC and does not touch ISTS or NLDC scheduling, no additional transmission security risk is introduced.
Raghunathpur TPS gets partial guaranteed offtake
8With this allocation, Raghunathpur TPS improves its PLF certainty amid low merchant realizations. A 25 MW carve-out may appear small, but adds fixed-charge reliability.
