8SCUC leaned on higher-ECR plants over cheaper baseload
On 2025-09-04, units with >200 paise/kWh ECR (e.g., Kahalgaon-2, Singrauli) were flagged YES for SCUC across long block runs, while ultra-low-ECR Darlipali (98.8 paise/kWh) sat NO outside SCUC.
Inference — Location/ramp/security needs, not pure merit-order, drove commitment (SCUC = security-constrained unit commitment), even with cheaper coal available.
Why it matters — Reliability constraints are re-pricing commitment; portfolios that assume pure ECR dispatch may mis-hedge ramp hours.
8Outage tallies hide Reserve-Shutdowns, not hard faults
ISTPP (Jhajjar) 500 MW and Ropar Unit-3 (210 MW) have been on Reserve Shutdown since 2025-08-31 and 2025-08-25, respectively.
Inference — Economic de-commitment is being booked in outage sheets, muting the true split between forced/planned outages.
Why it matters — Mis-classification blurs coal readiness; operators may overestimate quick-startable capacity during tight evenings.
8Clean ATC/(N-1), but frequency flipped regimes midday
On 2025-09-04, ATC and (N-1) violations registered 0.00% across major corridors, yet frequency peaked at 50.211 Hz (13:01) and bottomed at 49.745 Hz (20:51:40) with 179/>50.03 and 172/<49.97 excursions.
Inference — With constraints absent, the midday-to-evening regime switch points to internal scheduling and balancing actions, not transmission limits.
Why it matters — Market-side hedges should target the 13:00→21:00 transition window even on “congestion-free” days.
8NER kept 400 kV nodes perfectly in-band
On 2025-09-03, North-Eastern 400 kV nodes (e.g., Azara, Balipara, Biswanath Chariali) spent 100% of the day within the IEGC band, with typical ranges ~396–415 kV.
Inference — Strong reactive support/local dispatch held voltages tight even as national frequency tails rose the next day.
Why it matters — Voltage discipline reduces technical losses and trip risk, helping keep ramps orderly despite variable RE.
8RTM undercut DAM by ~Rs 0.79/kWh over the week
Across 2025-08-29→2025-09-04, average weighted MCP was Rs 2.09/kWh (RTM) vs Rs 2.88/kWh (DAM) — a Rs 0.79/kWh basis.
Inference — Ample same-day liquidity and surplus hours made intraday procurement structurally cheaper than day-ahead.
Why it matters — Buyers leaning on RTM could lower realized energy cost; generators face margin compression in off-peak windows.
8VRE hit one-third of max demand during solar hours
On 2025-09-03 (solar hrs 06:00–18:00), VRE contributed 33.26% (Solar 14,846 MW, Wind 49,408 MW) to the 193,185 MW max demand met at 10:15.
Inference — High daytime VRE shares pre-condition midday surplus absorption episodes seen in the next-day frequency profile.
Why it matters — Portfolios should align pumping/ancillary bids and flexible thermal runs to monetize mid-day surplus.
8Long-running transmission outages signal maintenance backlog
The transmission-element log shows entries dating to 2021-11-27/28 still under works, plus a 2025 case flagged for high DGA (hydrogen).
Inference — Ageing assets and condition-based maintenance (DGA alarms) are keeping bays/lines unavailable longer than a planning cycle.
Why it matters — Prolonged elements out of service can quietly derate TTC/ATC headroom, raising price-spike risk under stress.
8Telangana over-drew 0.82 MU despite a zero-shortage SR day
On 2025-09-04, the Southern Region reported 0 shortage, yet Telangana’s UI showed +0.82 MU (drawal 118.62 MU vs schedule 117.80 MU).
Inference — Small positive UI during a balanced regional day likely aligns with the afternoon-evening regime switch windows.
Why it matters — Even modest deviations accumulate DSM exposure; states reliant on intraday balancing should police ramp blocks

8The bidder pool spans Tier 1 to regional firms. Notably, major OEM driven consortia are absent. This may flatten competitive dynamics and shift pricing benchmarks. Details
8RVPN is consistently pairing new GSS with line EPC packages. This signals a replicable evacuation model for RE absorption. But execution outcomes will test whether mid tier EPCs can scale. Details
8No ABB, Siemens or GE backed consortia feature among admitted bidders. Instead, pure EPC contractors dominate the line up. This shifts pricing dynamics and could lower technical redundancy margins. Details
Developers gain time but face long term liability in SJVN rooftop PPA
8The RESCO model ties developers to long term O&M obligations. Additional time helps prepare bids but not address terrain linked costs. This creates a skewed balance of benefit between client and contractor.

Maharashtra uses Jalna as template for renewable corridor hubs
8The Empowered Committee cleared the scheme in March 2025. With 1–2GW renewable potential nearby, Jalna is prototype for pooled substations. Future TBCB rounds may replicate this design.
No relief on tariff recovery sequencing  —  REC Project
8Transmission charges remain tied to simultaneous COD. REC has not allowed staged monetisation. This sustains liquidity strain for smaller EPC financial consortia. Details
8CUF floor of 17% and stiff penalties remain untouched. Part commissioning only in 50MW blocks keeps risk high. Bidders must still budget for ALMM compliance without relief. Details
8Another correction lands on GUVNL’s flagship 500MW RE with storage scheme. The corrigendum count now exceeds sixty, raising questions about stability of obligations. Whether this round tweaks only dates or core ESS terms remains undisclosed. Details
8If Rs.5.49 and Rs.4.83 become reference benchmarks, future bids could anchor around them. This may reduce volatility but also stifle undercutting. The practice risks hardening into norm. Details

8Hydro-peaking auctions cleared nothing despite heavy offers
HPDAM showed zero cleared volume on 2025-08-28 to 2025-09-03 despite >95–121 GWh sell bids each day.
Inference — Sellers offered flexibility, but bid/ask didn’t meet; buyers likely leaned on DAM/RTM instead.
Why it matters — A dormant HPDAM removes a hedge for the evening peak, nudging portfolios toward pricier products.
8DAM price slid as sell offers surged
On 2025-09-03, IEX weighted MCP fell to Rs 2.44/kWh while sell bids rose to 628,503 MWh.
Inference — Ample offers compressed clearing prices; CEA RE output uptick strengthened the supply stack.
Why it matters — Cheaper DAM lowers average procurement cost but shifts margin risk to generators.
8Ancillary reserve mix skewed massively to down-regulation
On 2025-09-03, SRAS+TRAS summed +15,335 MWh up and −72,761 MWh down; max reserve 6,543 MW.
Inference — System spent most of the day absorbing surplus; later ramps still needed fast energy elsewhere.
Why it matters — If down-reg dominates, mis-timed reserve release can leave RTM exposure at ramps.
8Midday frequency overshoot dominated the day’s profile
On 2025-09-03, max instantaneous frequency hit 50.408 Hz at 12:50:10 with 173 excursions >50.03 Hz (146 <49.97).
Inference — Midday overshoot aligns with surplus absorption (ancillary down-reg) rather than scarcity.
Why it matters — Persistent positive tails raise imbalance risk and DSM exposure even when prices look benign.
8Eastern 765-kV nodes stayed within the voltage band all day
On 2025-09-02, ER sites like Ranchi 765 kV, Angul 765 kV, Gaya 765 kV recorded 0.00% time outside IEGC band.
Inference — Strong reactive support/local dispatch kept voltages tight even as energy balance moved.
Why it matters — Stable voltage reduces losses and trips, easing ramp management later in the evening.
8Zero-PLF plant held 134% of normative coal stock
Ropar TPS ran at 0% PLF on 2025-09-02 while holding 134% of normative coal stock (304.4 thousand tonnes).
Inference — Inventory sits idle at a non-generating site; either evacuation or economic dispatch is constraining use.
Why it matters — Tied-up coal raises carrying costs and complicates fleet-wide stock optimization.
8South leaned on hydro while half its nuclear fleet was offline
On 2025-09-02, Southern Region showed Hydro online 91.90% vs Nuclear online 50.00% (capacity-online metric).
Inference — Seasonal water plus nuclear outages shifted baseload to peaking-capable hydro.
Why it matters — More hydro in the mix helps peak coverage but can steepen ramps if discharge windows narrow.
8Haryana met over half its daily demand through imports
On 2025-09-03, net import ≈ 87.87 MU (Actual Drawal 126.32 − Generation 38.45), ~53.33% of demand met (164.77 MU).
Inference — High marketplace reliance likely shaped RTM exposure during ramps.
Why it matters — Cost volatility rises when a state covers a large slice via short-term markets.

Participation risk looms as extensions pile up in DVC’s Maithon bid
8Nine extensions suggest bidders are cautious despite softened clauses. High technical barriers, long timelines, and stiff PQCs still discourage mid tier firms. Unless OEMs commit, DVC risks thin competition and higher cost bids.
Participation hurdles mirror Dulhasti and Tiuni  —  NEEPCO/Heo HEP
8As with Dulhasti II and Tiuni Plasu, repeated extensions hint at thin bidder interest. PQC stringency and penalty regimes appear to be common deterrents. Without recalibration, competition may remain shallow. Details
Results linked funding amplifies pressure  —  Patna underground SCADA tender
8Central funding under RDSS is tied to demonstrable loss reduction and digitalisation. SBPDCL cannot afford slippages in PESU’s circles. Contractors will shoulder the pressure of meeting these disbursement linked milestones.
Six extensions stretch PTCUL’s 400kV LILO package by 89 days
8PTCUL’s hybrid overhead underground LILO into Roorkee GIS has slipped from July to late September. Despite repeated extensions, no commercial or PQC terms were altered. The delay highlights contractor hesitation and looming synchronisation risks with PGCIL’s corridor. Details
Industry dynamics at play: APERC extends feedback period on crucial amendments
8The extension is a pivotal moment for stakeholders to engage with regulatory processes, potentially affecting future policy directions and competitive landscapes.

8The 10MW scope is part of DVC’s larger rollout across three reservoirs. Splitting packages suggests execution bottlenecks at site. Stakeholders must watch if this becomes a new model.
Scope differentiation: city undergrounding vs suburban feeders under PSPCL RDSS
8Amritsar city is likely to demand underground cabling and metering hardening. The suburban package leans towards overhead feeder efficiency. This split suggests PSPCL wants tailored approaches for different grid environments. Details
Absence of escalation clause sharpens margin risk  —  BHEL Ukai TPS
8No clear provision for price adjustment is visible. Contractors must absorb inflation in cement, steel and labour. This omission could deter aggressive bids.
UJVN’s extension pattern breaks its past hydro tender rhythm
8Normally two extensions suffice before closure. This time five resets show abnormal drift. It signals internal or market side indecision. Details
WBSETCL pushes design ownership and ROW risk onto contractors in new 220kV TL+SS packages
8The three fresh EPC packages combine transmission lines with substation tie ins. Contractors must absorb ROW liabilities soil risk and proto costs. WBSETCL reserves reuse rights for tower designs signalling a deeper shift in its procurement playbook.
ERP vendor code becomes a gatekeeper in RVPN Karnu transmission tender
8New entrants must register in RVPN’s ERP before fees and bid security submission. This adds a non technical hurdle but ensures bidder traceability. Contractors will weigh this compliance overhead against project margins. Details
8Midday DAM cleared at near-zero prices for over an hour
Rs 0.60–1.00/kWh between 15:15–16:30 on 2025-09-02, with MCPs at Rs 600–1,001/MWh.
Inference — Solar-heavy midday plus non-binding ATC likely compressed prices.
Why it matters — Cheap blocks lower average procurement costs and shift revenue risk to generators.
8RTM spiked into the evening ramp despite ample day liquidity
MCP hit ~Rs 6.01/kWh at 19:15–19:30 on 2025-09-02 as scheduled volume tightened.
Inference — Evening ramp + shifting bids out of DAM raised scarcity in fast product.
Why it matters — Portfolio hedges needed; a Rs 6.01/kWh RTM print can blow up daily averages.
8Heavy down-regulation all day, but prices still ran up at peak
NLDC recorded SRAS+TRAS net down-regulation of 95,264 MWh with max reserve 6,538 MW (02-09-2025).
Inference — Reserves were abundant earlier, yet evening scarcity wasn’t fully mitigated in RTM.
Why it matters — Ancillary placement/timing may be mis-aligned with ramp risk; procurement strategy should adjust.
8Frequency quality slid outside the comfort band for 7:16 hours
Average frequency 50.006 Hz; FDI 0.0410; 164 excursions >50.03 Hz and 119 <49.97 Hz (02-09-2025).
Inference — Despite substantial reserve action earlier in the day, tails persisted during ramps.
Why it matters — More precise AGC/dispatch tuning is needed; persistent tails raise imbalance and DSM exposure.
8Critical transformer at Moradabad still out on DGA alarm, revival overdue
400/220 kV 240 MVA ICT-3 (UPPTCL) has been continuously out since 2021-12-13; revival due 2025-04-16 but still down on 2025-09-02 (~139 days overdue).
Inference — Asset-health constraints persist on key 400/220 kV interface.
Why it matters — Prolonged ICT outages hard-limit contingency margins and increase re-dispatch costs.
8Uttarakhand leaned on exchanges for nearly a quarter of peak demand
At 20:00 on 2025-09-02, STOA/PX/RTM transactions were 445 MW vs 1,892 MW demand met (~23.52%).
Inference — Evening peak coverage tilted to short-term markets instead of internal ramp-up.
Why it matters — High spot reliance raises cost volatility; a tight RTM can quickly inflate the state’s power bill.
8Gas fleet stayed idle at high ECRs while coal ran the ramps
DGEN/GAMA/LKPL-Phase-2 RLNG had 0 MW scheduled for all blocks with ECRs ~Rs 13.12–14.27/kWh on 2025-09-02.
Inference — High variable cost priced gas out despite evening price spikes.
Why it matters — Peaking flexibility is available but uneconomic at current ECRs; watch for scarcity premia crossing gas thresholds.
8Rajasthan’s RE mix was 78% solar on 2025-09-01, concentrating midday risk
State RE was 131.40 MU, with 102.52 MU solar and 27.47 MU wind.
Inference — A solar-heavy profile raises afternoon spill/price-compression risk the next day without commensurate storage.
Why it matters — Procurement should pair with flexible resources/ancillary; otherwise noon blocks clear at near-zero while ramps get costlier.

8HPDAM posted >100 GWh offers but cleared zero all week
What happened: From 2025-08-26 to 2025-09-01, HPDAM showed significant sell bids every day but zero MCV and zero final scheduled volume.
Why: Inference — buyers appear to prefer generic DAM/RTM cover or bilateral flex; hydro sellers may be anchoring to a premium that buyers won’t meet in a thin book.
Why it matters: Product illiquidity keeps hydro flexibility under-monetised; missed rent when Rs/kWh spreads open elsewhere.
8RTM overshadowed DAM on Sunday volumes
What happened: On 2025-08-31, RTM final scheduled volume was 230,021.56 MWh vs DAM 117,585.56 MWh.
Why: Inference — Sunday day-ahead under-scheduling plus short-notice balancing likely shifted liquidity to RTM.
Why it matters: Procurement desks should bias toward RTM for weekend coverage; DAM-only hedges risk underfill.
8RTM price trough opened on Monday
What happened: Weighted RTM MCP fell to Rs 1,411.65/MWh on 2025-09-01 — the week’s low.
Why: Inference — heavier sell stacks (524,078 MWh) versus buys (220,242 MWh) tilted clearing down.
Why it matters: Buyers with flexible load can bank cheap blocks; sellers face valley curtailment risk.
8Khetri 765 kV spent a fifth of the day above IEGC band
What happened: Khetri bus was 20.97% of the time above the IEGC voltage band on 2025-09-01 (Max 805 kV, Min 766 kV).
Why: Inference — local VAR imbalance; corridor-wide ATC wasn’t the constraint.
Why it matters: Targeted reactive support (STATCOM/tap optimisation) is likely a cheaper fix than bulk transfer upgrades.
8Frequency excursions without transfer stress
What happened: On 2025-09-01, average frequency 50.003 Hz with 8:10:50 outside 49.90–50.05 Hz; ATC and (N-1) violations were 0.
Why: Inference — excursions reflect balancing/dispatch timing, not corridor binds.
Why it matters: Tighten AGC participation and reserve placement in tail windows even on “unstressed” transfer days.
8Ancillary selection skewed toward lower-ECR coal stacks
What happened: NLDC SCUC (D: 2025-09-01) shows multiple YES units with ECR in the ~200–320 paise/kWh band while several NO units sit higher (e.g., Vallur 360.5, Mauda 326.2 paise/kWh).
Why: Inference — merit-order discipline: cheaper plants hired first for balancing.
Why it matters: High-ECR units may see thinner ancillary revenues and need to recalibrate bids or seek alternate flex products.
8Western hydro beat program by ~59% on 2025-08-29
What happened: Western Region hydro Actual 115.60 MU vs Program 72.52 MU on 2025-08-29.
Why: Inference — supportive reservoir positions (Sub-Report-6) enabled upside scheduling.
Why it matters: Hydro upside existed while HPDAM cleared zero, pointing to a product-design/liquidity mismatch rather than lack of water.
867.51 GW unavailable on 2025-08-29 — most of it planned/other maintenance
What happened: All-India capacity under maintenance/forced/other reasons totalled 67,505.78 MW with 38,786.30 MW planned and 16,420.25 MW forced.
Why: Inference — seasonal maintenance plus local RSD/technical snags (e.g., Ropar, Panipat) concentrated in the North.
Why it matters: Availability slack raises the premium on agile reserves even if transfer corridors aren’t binding

8Bid-imbalance explains RTM swings with one-block “memory”
RTM MCP tightly tracked the sell/purchase bid ratio across the day, with predictive power persisting at a 1–8 block lag on 2025-08-28.
Inference — Cross-linking RTM snapshots with bid stacks shows |ρ|≈0.91 contemporaneous; ≥0.62 out to T+8, implying short-horizon signal value.
Why it matters — A live ratio monitor can time hedges before Rs/kWh inflections, improving procurement for large buyers.
8Down-reserve dominated ancillary actions
TRAS down energy was ~51,807 MWh versus ~3,865 MWh up on 2025-08-28; SRAS was broadly symmetric (6,218 up; 6,695 down).
Inference — Tertiary balancing leaned on absorption rather than injection, consistent with midday oversupply pockets.
Why it matters — Heavy pull-down reliance compresses peak risk but raises curtailment/redispatch exposure for flexible fleets.
8Frequency tails without transfer stress
Average frequency was ~50.006 Hz, with ~4h57m outside 49.90–50.05 on 2025-08-28, yet System Reliability indices show only ~1 hour of ATC violation and zero (N-1) breaches.
Inference — Excursions were driven by balancing/dispatch timing rather than corridor binds.
Why it matters — Tighten reserve placement and AGC participation in tail windows even on “unstressed” transfer days.
8SCUC selection favoured low-ECR coal stacks
For D: 2025-08-29 (published D-1), SCUC “YES” units had median ECR 326.95 paise/kWh vs 376.70 for “NO”; ≥350 paise share: 36% (YES) vs 74% (NO).
Inference — Ancillary procurement skewed toward cheaper plants on merit order, containing uplift.
Why it matters — High-ECR units face thinner ancillary revenues and must recalibrate bids or seek alternate flexibility products.
8Coal inventory rich, output thin at a north station
A large northern station held ~175% of normative coal stock while running near ~40% PLF on 2025-08-28.
Inference — Dispatch was constrained by logistics/technical factors, not fuel availability.
Why it matters — Working capital is tied up without MW returns; plant-level fixes beat system-level coal pushes here.
8Single-node voltage stress: Nizamabad 765 kV
On 2025-08-28, the Nizamabad 765 kV bus was outside the IEGC band for ~20.07% of the day (Max 806 kV; Min 783 kV; Avg 795 kV).
Inference — Local VAR support (STATCOM/SVC/tap optimisation) is the binding need; broad ATC upgrades won’t fix this hotspot.
Why it matters — Targeted reactive support is a lower-cost reliability lever than corridor-wide reinforcements.
8RTM step-changes clustered around evening peak and late-night unwind
RTM MCP jumped across T74→T76 (18:15–19:00 IST) toward the cap, then fell sharply at T88→T89 (21:45–22:15) on 2025-08-28.
Inference — Regime breaks arrived in two waves, implying slippage risk for one-shot hedges.
Why it matters — Split cover and pre-place bids across micro-windows to avoid paying cap and missing the cliff.
8Sub-Rs 1/kWh micro-valleys opened twice on RTM
Four blocks cleared at ≤Rs 1.00/kWh: T33–T34 (08:00–08:30) and T53–T54 (13:00–13:30) on 2025-08-28.
Inference — Brief oversupply windows emerged despite strong evening scarcity, enabling PSP/thermal displacement strategies.
Why it matters — Buyers can bank cheap energy; sellers need curtailment mitigation for these valleys
