Massive civil scope unveiled for 2x800 MW thermal expansion in eastern India
8The latest tender reveals an unusually wide scope under BOP works, spanning everything from CWPH and RWPH to solar rooftop foundations, FPS facilities, and deluge systems all in a non-BTG zone for a central PSU project, adding depth to current thermal power plant updates in India.
8In a rare instance, this BOP tender for a large 2x800 MW unit has seen its due date extended for the sixth time. The consistent extensions suggest intense bidder interest or possible scope clarification back-and-forths an emerging pattern in recent thermal power plant updates in India.
8Though BTG scope is excluded, several items like CW ducts, switchgear rooms, and reservoir outlet links imply tight mechanical/civil interface requirements for the winning bidder typical of complex thermal power plant updates in India.
8This civil-heavy scope signals how thermal power plant updates in India are now pushing higher expectations for coordination and execution even in traditionally segregated BOP packages.
8The detailed structuring of non-BTG responsibilities reflects how thermal power plant updates in India are evolving toward more integrated, interface-sensitive tendering practices. Details
Double transformer greenfield substation tender signals eastern Rajasthan grid upgrade
 8A state transmission utility has invited bids for setting up a 2×500MVA, 400/220kV substation on a turnkey basis in eastern Rajasthan. The package includes 5 shunt reactors and full civil scope marking a major addition to the region’s backbone infrastructure and adding new depth to transformer supply contracts in India.
8Unlike earlier tenders with minimal compensation, this one calls for a total of 445MVAR through both bus-type and line-type shunt reactors. The shift signals a design focus on system stability and bulk corridor readiness, with implications for future transformer supply contracts in India.
8Compared to past projects like TN15 with only one transformer, the new bid mandates two 500MVA units. This signals either future-proofing for high load zones or redundancy against outages in RE-linked corridors a growing trend in large-scale transformer supply contracts in India.
8The new tender calls for 4×80MVAR line-type reactors a configuration absent in recent state utility bids. This could reflect tighter voltage management or a harmonics damping strategy on outbound feeders, setting fresh benchmarks for transformer supply contracts in India.
8As Rajasthan’s grid evolves into a high-capacity transmission node, such tenders are reshaping specifications and procurement trends, underscoring the critical role of transformer supply contracts in India in enabling next-gen infrastructure. Details

Advanced EMS integration mandated in Bihar’s new solar–BESS tender
8For the 116MW solar + 241MWh BESS setup, the OE must oversee commissioning of EMS that integrates solar, BESS, and SCADA platforms underscoring rising complexity in hybrid control architectures and real-time dispatchability expectations in renewable projects in India.
8Unlike past RE tenders, this OE engagement covers solar pile foundations, BESS layout, SLDC interfacing, and as-built O&M infrastructure vetting suggesting stricter pre-commissioning gatekeeping in renewable projects in India for this state-owned hybrid rollout.
8BSPGCL's tender demands that OE validate the system’s ability to deliver real-time data to SLDC, a grid integration clause absent in comparable 2022 renewable projects in India tenders potentially signalling tighter scheduling and regulatory synchronization.
8As hybrid tenders evolve, renewable projects in India now increasingly feature EMS-led dispatch protocols, making OE oversight a critical checkpoint before system go-live.
8This trend highlights how renewable projects in India are transitioning from passive generation to active, dispatch-capable grid participants especially where BESS is co-located. Details

GIS and AIS integration raises complexity in new 160 MVA substation tender
8A new 2×80 MVA, 132/33 kV substation project in Bihar blends GIS bays at one end with AIS connections at the other. This hybrid design could escalate engineering interface risks, especially for contractors unfamiliar with GIS-AIS transition points.
8The 80 MVA transformers specified in this project must include nitrogen injection-based fire extinguishing systems. While this improves safety, it adds to the bidder's capex and maintenance training requirements, marking a shift from older tender norms.

Turnkey feeder separation project in Rajasthan sees single bidder despite multiple deadline extensions
8Despite multiple bid extensions, this turnkey RDSS project part of the wider push for transmission equipment tenders in India attracted only one technical bid for feeder segregation in Dholpur Circle. The low bidder turnout raises concerns over execution capacity bottlenecks or commercial risk perceptions among contractors.
8The project involves segregating mixed 11 kV feeders to isolate agricultural supply from other consumers, improving grid management under Jaipur discom's jurisdiction. The pattern mirrors trends seen across transmission equipment tenders in India, where large-scale turnkey projects often face limited bidder participation due to perceived execution risks.
8This development adds to a growing list of transmission equipment tenders in India encountering similar challenges, particularly under RDSS schemes targeting rural feeder separation. Sector experts suggest that the single-bid outcome may prompt a review of structuring strategies, echoing concerns from other recent transmission equipment tenders in India where project complexity has affected competition. Details
Bid deadline for Andaman rooftop solar EPC project now extended to 29th July
8Following multiple extensions, the latest submission deadline stands at 29th July 2025.
8This extension reflects bidder concerns over logistics, approvals, and bid preparation for a complex remote island execution package.
8Unlike many mainland solar EPC tenders, this package explicitly shifts the burden of net-metering approvals and DISCOM interface entirely to the contractor.
8The responsibility extends to procuring meters, taking approvals, and handling NOC clearances a critical risk factor in project timelines.

Rajasthan storage tender expands from 500 MW to 1000 MW with new site flexibility
8Unlike the earlier 500 MW storage round, which restricted location to specific plants, this new renewable energy tender in India allows developers to propose storage at any STU-connected site within Rajasthan. The shift opens up competitive location selection, with L1 bidders receiving the first right of choice—marking a significant change in how renewable energy tenders in India structure site flexibility.
8Developers are now required to guarantee battery system dispatchability from 98% in year one, tapering to 70% by year fifteen. This clause, not present in previous Rajasthan renewable energy tenders in India, shifts long-term operational risk to developers, making lifecycle cost modelling more complex and critical for bid strategy.
8Viability gap funding under the PSDF scheme is split into three stages: 20% at financial closure, 50% at COD, and 30% after the first year of operation. This staggered release pattern ties subsidy to project delivery milestones—an increasingly common feature in recent renewable energy tenders in India aimed at tightening compliance and ensuring project execution.
8Unlike merchant storage models seen globally, the entire 1000 MW / 2000 MWh capacity in this renewable energy tender in India is locked into offtake by state-designated buying entities. The tender prioritizes grid service and ancillary support, reinforcing Rajasthan’s strategy for renewable integration rather than open market play.

8A state-backed green energy tender for wind capacity in Gujarat has seen 17 extensions, with the latest pushing the deadline to August for hard copy submissions. This pattern may reflect bidder concerns over risk allocation, land acquisition complexities, or O&M liabilities across the 10-year contract term.
8The 100 MW wind project scope requires not just EPC delivery but also land procurement, title transfer or lease, and right-of-way clearances for evacuation infrastructure up to the state transmission utility point. This all-inclusive structure may alter bidder participation strategy.
8The project is backed by a power purchase agreement signed with the state distribution utility under a wind capacity scheme. However, developers face a strict 480-day commissioning window from LOA, aligning the EPC and financial closure schedules closely with PPA milestones.

Gadarwara’s high-voltage interface package draws final bid extension
8A central utility’s 2x800 MW thermal expansion has pushed its 765 kV and 132 kV switchyard tender to a final submission date of 31st July. This follows multiple extensions since March, reflecting bidder preparation complexities and clarifications on scope.
8Unlike earlier NTPC switchyard packages, this tender mandates bidders to submit PSS/E and ETAP simulations for connectivity compliance under the latest CERC GNA norms. The change shifts more regulatory burden onto EPC contractors.
8A notable deletion in the technical amendment removes the requirement for spare cores in control cables, streamlining installation but potentially increasing project-specific customization risk during execution.
8Starting from an initial bid deadline of February, the tender has seen six extensions, with the latest moving closure to 31st July. The extensions reflect ongoing scope clarifications, particularly on simulations, fiber optic systems, and cable routing.

Adani, Tata Power, Power Grid and Resonia line up for high-stakes tariff bid
 8With four pre-qualified players, including a major public sector giant and private heavyweights, the competition is expected to push transmission tariffs lower in the e-reverse auction stage.
 Unlike consortia bids, all four qualified entities are bidding solo, committing 100% equity into the SPV acquisition. This suggests confidence in project viability and financial returns under the TBCB model.
 8Given the bidder profile, the tariff discovery for the 400/220 kV Velgaon substation could set a new benchmark for intra-state GIS projects in Maharashtra. Auction dynamics will determine the extent of cost competitiveness.
 8With both a central transmission PSU and private sector giants in the fray, the bidding outcome may influence future dynamics of Maharashtra’s TBCB-driven transmission expansion Details
Twin 400 KV intra-state transmission projects attract fresh bidding cycle amid Karnataka grid upgrades
8Two high-capacity substation packages—one in southern Karnataka and another in the north—have been put up for tariff-based competitive bidding under REC coordination. Both projects are critical for meeting regional load growth and renewable evacuation targets, with bid deadlines now extended into August.
 8Both the Hampapura and Mekhali tenders include built-in space and bay provisions for additional ICTs, line bays, and reactors. This pre-provisioning reduces future shutdown risks but also signals higher upfront capex for civil and structural works compared to older tenders.
 8The Mekhali substation tender requires 63 MVAR switchable line reactors with NGR bypassing for the Dhoni-Mekhali section—reflecting a design focus on minimizing transient overvoltages during light load conditions. This specification aligns with advanced grid safety norms but requires specialized execution experience.
 8Each substation comes with over a dozen bays across 400 kV and 220 kV levels, including sectionalizers, couplers, and bus reactors. For EPC players, this means complex GIS (Hampapura) and AIS (Mekhali) execution with tight timelines and interface risks. Details
