RETAIL TARIFF REVISION

8APERC fixes Rs. 0.4078/unit fuel cost surcharge for Andhra Pradesh consumers in April 2026
Under APERC Regulation No. 1 of 2026, the Fuel and Power Purchase Cost Adjustment for April 2026 has been fixed at Rs. 0.4078 per unit, to be billed automatically in July 2026 bills. The calculation used an actual power purchase cost of Rs. 5.7324 per unit against a base cost of Rs. 5.3636 per unit, on procurement of 3,204.65 MU and sales of 2,830.62 MU, with distribution losses capped at 9.58% for FY26-27. The pass-through affects all consumer categories in Andhra Pradesh.

COMMISSION ORDERS (CERC/SERC)

8CERC condones APCPDCL's delay in renewable energy certificate filing for FY 2023-24
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, led by Chairperson Jishnu Barua, on 29 June 2026 allowed Andhra Pradesh Central Power Distribution Company Limited to regularise its delayed compliance with REC issuance procedures for FY 2023-24 under the CERC (Renewable Energy Certificates) Regulations, 2022. The petition, filed under Section 79(1)(k) of the Electricity Act, 2003, was contested by Grid Controller of India Limited's NLDC, the central agency for REC registration and issuance, giving APCPDCL relief from procedural default.

8CERC rules PTC India must bear relinquishment charges for 340 MW Teesta-III hydro deal
In a 67-page order dated 30 June 2026, CERC held that PTC India Limited, which availed Long-Term Access on behalf of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited, must pay transmission relinquishment charges to POWERGRID, to be reimbursed later by PSPCL. The dispute traces to a 2006 Power Sale Agreement for 340 MW from the 1,200 MW Teesta-III project of Teesta Urja Limited, routed via a 2010 Bulk Power Transmission Agreement covering discoms in UP, Rajasthan and Haryana.

RAPP-8 is the twin of RAPP-7, which achieved commercial operation on 15 April 2025, and the order was sought against Northern Regional Load Despatch Centre.

8CERC approves POWERGRID's transmission tariff for assets linked to Torrent Power's 1,200 MW DGEN plant
CERC on 30 June 2026 approved POWERGRID's transmission tariff for three assets tied to Torrent Power Limited's 1,200 MW DGEN Thermal Power Station in Gujarat, covering 220 kV bays at Navsari, a 125 MVAr bus reactor and a 400 kV line bay at Vadodara.

8UPERC corrigendum bars ISTS losses from fuel charge in UPPCL's 4,000 MW SHAKTI power tender
The Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission issued a corrigendum dated 30 June 2026 to its 17 June order in Petition No. 2338 of 2026, ruling that Inter-State Transmission System losses shall not form part of the Fuel Charge in UPPCL's bidding documents for 4,000 MW of long-term power procurement. Bidders in the Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate tender under SHAKTI Policy B(IV) must instead absorb ISTS losses within their quoted Fixed Charge, reshaping bid economics for the DEEP e-Tender Portal exercise.

REGULATORY PETITION & REVIEW

8APERC grants AP Rural Agriculture Power Ltd one more week to respond to deemed licence objections
The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission on 30 June 2026 extended by seven days, to 7 July 2026, the deadline for AP Rural Agriculture Power Limited to respond to stakeholder objections on its petition, OP No. 23 of 2026, seeking a deemed distribution licence to supply power to agricultural consumers.

8UPCL stakes Rs. 5,900 crore claim before UERC over transfer scheme revenue requirement
Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited has petitioned the Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission for an Aggregate Revenue Requirement claim linked to a legacy asset Transfer Scheme with Uttar Pradesh, totalling Rs. 5,900.01 crore, comprising Rs. 936.37 crore in principal and Rs. 4,963.35 crore in carrying cost, accruing from FY 2003-04 to FY 2026-27. UERC has invited public comments on the claim at its Dehradun office, with the outcome likely to materially affect Uttarakhand's power tariffs.

8UPERC hears B&G Renewable Energy's bid to send power purchase dispute with UPPCL to arbitration
The Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission is hearing a petition by M/s B&G Renewable Energy Pvt. Ltd., along with the Nirgajini and Salawa Hydel Project entities, seeking referral of non-tariff issues under their power purchase agreements with UPPCL and UP Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited to arbitration. The petition invokes Section 86(1)(f) of the Electricity Act, 2003 and Clause 17.3.2 of the PPAs, and will determine how contractual disputes with UP's small hydro developers are settled.

8Bandhabal ASU tender turns on lifecycle risk, with Rs 300 lakh entry gate only the first filter
The tender does not stop at asking who can build an ASU. It asks who can prove that similar cryogenic capacity has operated with high availability. That distinction quietly reshapes the eligible vendor pool.

8Rs 257 crore Tirupati WtE tender puts long-term PPP risk at the centre
Tirupati package is framed as a 12 MW waste-to-energy project, but the bid design goes much deeper than plant construction. The concession structure places technology, waste handling, power offtake and long-term O&M into one commercial frame. The details show why this tender could reshape how municipal waste projects are priced in Andhra Pradesh.

8Rs 3 crore EPC package enters a tighter bidding phase as it holds the line
The package goes beyond equipment supply and installation. It pulls commissioning, PG testing and O&M into one execution chain. That makes the technical risk sit deeper than the tender title suggests.

8Tender moves on Kalyanpur GIS tie-up for POWERGRID’s SS-158T package
This tender has opened a pre-bid route for a high-voltage GIS package tied to Gujarat’s RE evacuation build-out. The structure places the manufacturer inside the bid architecture before the final customer award is known. The fine print shows where the real control sits.

8Rs 97 crore transmission package moves into tighter turnkey execution framework
This high-value transmission package extends well beyond conventional transmission line construction. The tender combines corridor execution, terminal integration and released-material management within a comprehensive turnkey responsibility framework.

8Rs 1 crore EMD tender stretches into deeper mill-risk test at  Durgapur PP-II
Durgapur PP-II coal mill R&M package has moved through a long corrigendum trail before price discovery. The latest changes sharpen capacity, wear-life and brownfield interface obligations without giving bidders much room for soft assumptions. The real test will be how contractors price risk after the 68-day shift.

8Repeated deadline revisions reshape competition for Rs-value coal mill renovation package
A routine schedule revision has evolved into a far longer procurement cycle than initially envisaged. Multiple corrigenda reveal a deliberate shift in bidding timelines that could reshape competitive dynamics without changing the engineering package. The implications extend beyond calendar changes and point to a broader procurement strategy.

8500 MW solar EPC bid schedule revised again as another key deadline reshapes market timing
Another timetable revision has extended the competitive window for a major utility-scale solar EPC procurement without altering the commercial framework. The move appears to be more than a routine administrative adjustment and could influence bidder preparation and participation ahead of technical submissions. The broader impact on competition and execution strategy becomes clearer when the complete sequence of revisions is examined.

8Rs 50 lakh Koradi EPC tender stretches bid clock as scope lines tighten around handling systems
 Koradi package has moved through repeated corrigenda before price discovery. The headline equipment scope hides a sharper contest over capacities, layout responsibility and auxiliary-system risk. The final shape of the bid could decide how aggressively contractors price the next wave of balance-of-plant packages.

8Tender puts load forecasting at the centre of utility planning
The tender places forecasting and portfolio management inside a long-duration consultancy frame. That makes the mandate more strategic than a conventional software advisory. The unanswered issue is how sharply MPPMCL will define performance responsibility. Details
