Turnkey GIS substation tender nears Rs.110 cr mark after scope tweaks 8Minor upward revision in estimated value and bid security points to refined BOQ alignment—typical of trends in the Latest Indian power tenders. SAS integration and HTLS line works remain in focus. 8Multiple deadline shifts signal high bidder engagement, but also potential complexity in design finalisation and qualification review for the turnkey package, as seen in other Latest Indian power tenders where bidder scrutiny is tightening. 8Multiple XLPE runs with high cross-section ratings and complex indoor terminations add execution challenges—paralleling commissioning hurdles noted in recent Latest Indian power tenders for high-voltage GIS installations. 8This tender reflects how Latest Indian power tenders increasingly emphasize refined technical compliance and tighter project interfaces. The Rs.110 crore threshold is yet another benchmark in how Latest Indian power tenders are evolving under turnkey EPC pressures.Details
Strategic 400 kV link plan locks in Rs.119 cr investment for desert solar evacuation 8The new package, part of broader Power Projects in India, covers survey to commissioning for critical grid tie-ins at Pugal GSS, with double circuit designs dominating the scope to boost redundancy and reliability. 8The contractor, playing a key role in India’s evolving Power Projects in India landscape, will handle every stage from tower steel procurement to OPGW stringing with phased delivery targeting priority line energisation well before full project completion. 8This turnkey effort within Power Projects in India mandates strict adherence to approved design specifications, origin norms, and tightly sequenced execution to mitigate weather-related risks. 8While financial guardrails remain aligned with previous tenders, this reissue underlines sharper delivery milestones and precise route length definitions highlighting the evolution in execution discipline for large Power Projects in India. 8Such focused grid expansions reinforce reliability goals and long-term bankability for solar-linked Power Projects in India in challenging desert terrain.Details
8A grid-connected solar initiative under PM KUSUM Component A has drawn massive interest, with 82 technical bids submitted for distributed plants up to 2MW each. The project, a part of the growing portfolio of Indian renewable projects, is designed to solarise agriculture feeders under RESCO mode over a 25-year span. 8In a bid to secure 25-year PPAs, 82 developers have responded to a RESCO mode solar tender under a government-backed rural electrification scheme. These Indian renewable projects are spread across two major divisions with substation-level allocations, indicating widespread private sector participation. 8Several developers submitted multiple bids across substations, signaling strong interest in decentralised 2MW solar plants. This discom-led project seeks to tap private land parcels under Component A of the national solarisation programme further reinforcing the rising momentum behind Indian renewable projects focused on distributed energy. 8Under a central government mandate, the project aims to reduce subsidy burden through decentralised solar integration. A fixed 25 year PPA makes it an attractive, risk-mitigated model for developers with land and grid access, showcasing how Indian renewable projects are becoming more bankable and scalable in rural contexts. 8This surge in bidding reaffirms the growing appetite for Indian renewable projects that blend grid-connectivity, land optimisation, and long-term policy support.Details

Bid deadline pushed thrice for Rs.3,200cr transmission EPC 8The latest extension on this large inter substation line suggests bidders are refining cost models for a complex, multi voltage corridor in coastal terrain. A high-capacity 400 kV double circuit and 220 kV LILO package sees its bid window pushed again, signalling heavy contractor interest and likely intense price competition. Multiple deadline shifts point to ongoing pre bid clarifications on tower design, routing, and integration with GIS substations. With the bid now due in August, cost strategies for a 147 km high capacity build plus multi circuit LILO could reshape final pricing trends.Details
Cancellation halts major substation upgrade after months of deadline shifts 8After a series of bid extensions, the planned GIS-based capacity boost for a North East transmission node has been scrapped for administrative reasons, leaving upgrade timelines uncertain. An ambitious capacity augmentation from 3×20MVA to 3×50MVA, including a bus bar re-engineering, is now off the table after internal clearances failed to materialize. Multiple revised bid dates pointed to active bidder interest, but administrative hurdles forced the transmission project owner to abandon the process altogether. 8The planned jump from 60MVA to 150MVA transformer capacity in a key urban substation will have to wait as procurement is halted for administrative reasons. The repeated shifts in closing dates hinted at evolving bid clarifications, but the final outcome points to deeper procedural or alignment issues. 8A flagship 132/33kV GIS capacity enhancement and bus bar overhaul is off the procurement roster, pushing back the region’s planned grid reliability improvements.Details
