8The switch from efficiency level-1 to level-2 cuts permitted full-load losses by 7.9% and removes a coil-length allowance, with only a 22-day extension.
8The deeper issue is whether manufacturers without a tested level-2 design can redesign, retest and price the change within the revised window.

8The 50 MW solar and 10 MW/40 MWh BESS package bundles EPC with 12 years of O&M, but its own clauses conflict on power rating, degradation and outage treatment.

NHPC lowers turbine efficiency bar for Rs 497 crore Dulhasti Stage-II E&M package
8Minimum weighted efficiency falls to 94% and 94.3%, while the evaluation credit is now capped at 94.5%.

8TN-DSM-115 now allocates multiple winning lots by lowest unit price first, while nine of 29 entries failed on licences, security or fees.
