8The outage roster isn’t just a list it’s a who’s-who: POWERGRID holds 169 open elements, UPPTCL 106, RRVPNL 90. In practice, who owns the fault often predicts how long it lingers. For traders and planners, that owner mix is a better early warning than any one market chart. Click on Details for moreDetails
8Central gen is carrying a big share of economic idling NTPC has ~4,657 MW of Reserve Shutdown on the day while state wires like UPPTCL and RRVPNL dominate corridor outages. When central plants pause and state corridors pinch, the downstream outcome is the same: more balancing work pushed into narrower pipes. Click on Details for moreDetails
8Add it up: 14.5% of the day’s offline stack is voluntary (Reserve Shutdown), 58.6% of transmission outages are at the 400 kV backbone, and 440 MW sits idle for want of PPAs while RE bids go zero-cleared. That’s not volatility for its own sake it’s the operational cost of misaligned contracting and maintenance calendars. Click on Details for moreDetails
8FDI/VDI movement maps cleanly onto the 400 kV cluster that dominates the day’s tickets (365 of 623). That’s a planning signal, not a one-off event: fix the repeat-offender 400 kV paths and you don’t just improve “indices”; you lighten the everyday balancing chore that spills into operations downstream. Click on Details for moreDetails
8The unit log shows 440 MW of thermal idle purely for no PPA. In the exchange snapshots, late-morning GDAM again carried zero-cleared renewable offers. Put together, the market is telling you the same thing twice: contracting, not resource availability, is what’s clipping revenue for RE and forcing spot cover elsewhere. Click on Details for moreDetails
8Across 215 reported units, offline capacity totalled 76,257 MW; Reserve Shutdown alone was 11,041 MW (14.5% of the day’s offline stack). This isn’t kit that’s broken. It’s capacity held back for economics, which then pushes balancing effort onto short-term mechanisms and stresses the same corridors already under maintenance. Click on Details for moreDetails
8On the transmission sheet, UPPTCL tops the open-ticket count at 106 elements, while on the unit list UPRVUNL shows 1,980 MW in Reserve Shutdown. When the same state appears as both a corridor constraint and a source of idle megawatts, the day’s imbalances aren’t “national”—they’re local and structural. Click on Details for moreDetails
8Parked Yesterday’s grid wasn’t starved it was narrow. Out of 623 reported transmission elements offline, 365 were at 400 kV (58.6%), exactly where transfer capacity matters most. At the same time, 11,041 MW of thermal was in Reserve Shutdown, a commercial pause that quietly reshapes how the system meets demand. Click on Details for moreDetails

FGD tender for 1,200MW unit scrapped after record 10 extensions 8A flue gas desulphurization system package for a two-unit coal plant in north India, meant to meet SO2 compliance, was abruptly cancelled despite prolonged tendering cycles. Contractors remained uncertain about intent after nearly a year of bid delays. This development adds to ongoing thermal power plant updates in India, reflecting the challenges in executing emission control retrofits. 8A wet limestone-based SO2control system for a state-run 2×600MW thermal power station has been called off following repeated submission extensions. Administrative hurdles appear to have outweighed environmental urgency, marking a notable point in recent thermal power plant updates in India. 8The FGD package for a legacy 1,200MW coal-fired plant was shelved after 10 rounds of extensions. Sector insiders cite internal administrative blocks or cost-benefit re-evaluation by the asset owner, a move that will be closely tracked in future thermal power plant updates in India. 8A delayed tender for SO2 abatement equipment at a large coal plant has ended in cancellation. Industry watchers see this as another example of slow FGD rollout across Indian state utilities, underlining a recurring trend in thermal power plant updates in India.Details
