8Despite years of reminders, several major hydro stations still lack completed mock black-start trials. Data now records plant-wise excuses, missing dates, and OEM dependencies. Patience is thinning. March 2026 reads like a regulatory cliff edge.

1) WRPC’s Communication Backbone Under Strain
8From ad-hoc fixes to structural overhaul are being done as RE load, cyber risk, and asset age collide. The sharpest tension lies between urgent capital expenditure proposals-new OPGW, repeaters, FOTEs-and regulatory scrutiny over cost justification, AMC ceilings, and governance discipline.
2) WRPC’s October 2025 paradox
8Demand “fully met” on paper, but the month quietly ran 20% below its own planning baseline. Operationally, the most telling anomaly is that the visible shortfalls are explained as “frequency correction” even when frequency is reported at 49.95–49.99, implying the system used frequency governance as the reason code for shaving the last few MW rather than calling it supply stress
3) NER’s transmission bill snaps down in Jan’26
8Not because the region got “lighter”, but because Assam’s AC component collapses while Tripura quietly widens its waiver play. Net: the latest month reads like one dominant payer’s transmission profile being re-written, with a secondary signal that waiver strategy is becoming an active lever for at least one NER state.
4) BGTPP’s Quiet Cost Creep
8NTPC Bongaigaon emerges as a textbook case of how technical degradation, once accepted provisionally, hardens into a recurring commercial burden for beneficiaries And how degradation, compensation normalisation, and grid discipline slippage are converging into a regional risk
5) North East: From Compliance to Crisis
8How Protection audits and grid disturbances are colliding in the North-East Power System, Most tellingly, non-compliance on FIR, DR, and EL submissions is emerging as a silent regulatory exposure that could soon attract sharper oversight from CEA and MoP.
6) From Grid Discipline to Grid Exposure
8OCCM’s quiet shift from enforcement to risk containment in the North East
7) Southern Region’s discipline story flips
8Tamil Nadu’s RTDA shock cools, but Karnataka becomes the new deviation payer while nuclear and wind volatility reshuffle the bill.
8) North: Haryana’s transmission deviation bill collapses
8While NR’s hydro corridor quietly ramps up deviation exposure. Net-net, the grid’s “headline improvement” is real in one corner (Haryana drawal), but the documents show a structural tension: discipline gains on one DIC can coincide with new injection-side drift elsewhere, and the bill doesn’t shrink-it moves.
9) National SCED volumes cool in November, but pool losses deepen
8Persistent backing-down of higher-cost southern units remains a structural feature. For system operators and regulators, the divergence between lower SCED volumes and higher net losses highlights the growing financial sensitivity of marginal cost spreads.
