  • SJVN Invites Bids for 265 MW/530 MWh BESS Projects Under VGF Support Scheme

    SJVN Limited has issued a retender for the development of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects under its Battery Energy Storage Purchase Agreement (BESPA) framework, aimed at strengthening India’s energy storage infrastructure and supporting grid flexibility.

    The tender seeks participation from Battery Energy Storage System Developers (BESSDs) for setting up, owning, operating, and supplying battery storage capacity as per the provisions of the Request for Selection (RfS) documents and Letter of Award (LoA). The selected developers will be responsible for developing the projects on a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) basis.

    The proposed BESS projects will include electrochemical battery technologies such as lithium-ion, lead-acid, solid-state batteries, and flow batteries, along with associated systems including Battery Energy Management Systems (BEMS), transmission facilities, switchyard equipment, and other supporting infrastructure required for efficient operation.

    As per the tender documents, the selected projects will be eligible for Viability Gap Funding (VGF) support. Under Project-1, a 250 MW/500 MWh BESS capacity has been earmarked with VGF support of up to ₹18 lakh per MWh under the VGF scheme supported through the Power System Development Fund (PSDF). Another project category includes 15 MW/30 MWh BESS capacity, with VGF support available under the State Component of the VGF Scheme.

    The BESS projects will play a key role in improving grid stability, enabling renewable energy integration, and supporting peak power management. The agreement framework specifies that the contracted storage capacity will be supplied to SJVN for onward sale to buying entities under the Battery Energy Storage Sale Agreement (BESSA).

    Under the agreement, developers will be responsible for project development activities including land arrangements, obtaining necessary approvals and clearances, construction, commissioning, grid connectivity, and operation of the storage systems. Developers will also be required to maintain technical performance parameters, including minimum annual average availability of 95% and round-trip efficiency of 85% for the BESS system.

    The selected developers will have an agreement tenure of 12 years from the effective date, with provisions for further extension subject to mutual agreement and regulatory approvals.

    The initiative reflects SJVN’s efforts to accelerate large-scale energy storage deployment and support India’s transition towards a more reliable, renewable-powered electricity grid.

  • REC Limited Reports 23% Growth in Net Profit to INR 4,149 Crore in Q1 FY27

    REC Limited Reports 23% Growth in Net Profit to INR 4,149 Crore in Q1 FY27

    The Board of Directors of REC Limited approved the standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. 

    Operational and Financial Highlights: Q1 FY27 vs Q4 FY26
    –   Net interest income: ₹5,212 crore Vs ₹4,961 crore up by 5%
    –   Net Profit: ₹4,149 crore Vs ₹3,362 crore, up by 23%

    Despite a dynamic operating environment, REC sustained a healthy NIM of 3.34%, reflecting the strength of its lending portfolio and disciplined financial management. Consequently, the Company delivered an annualised EPS of ₹63.04 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, underscoring its robust earnings performance.

    REC’s standalone loan book stood at ₹5.90 lakh crore as on June 30, 2026 which is the largest for any CPSU-NBFC in India, demonstrating the strength and stability of its lending operation. Aided by growth in profits, the Net Worth has grown by 15% on Y-o-Y basis to ₹91,836 crore as on June 30, 2026.

    The renewable energy portfolio continued to witness robust traction, growing to ₹78,596 crore, constituting 13.32% of the overall loan composition, reinforcing REC’s commitment to fostering sustainable infrastructure development and accelerating the growth of green energy in India. The infrastructure and logistic portfolio has grown to ₹59,289 crore, which is over 10% of the overall loan assets.

    Driven by sustained initiatives to improve asset quality, the Company has reduced its Stage-3 loan asset-to-total-loan-portfolio ratio to near-zero levels, i.e., 0.11%.

    Indicating the ample opportunity to support future growth, the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CRAR) of the Company stands at a comfortable 23.06% as at June 30, 2026, against the regulatory minimum of 15% as mandated by the RBI.

    In line with its consistent dividend distribution track record and commitment to enhancing shareholder returns, the Board of Directors of the Company has declared the First Interim Dividend of ₹4.25 per equity share (face value ₹10 each).

    The strengthening fundamentals of the Indian power sector have contributed to the improved financial position of power utilities, resulting in stronger overall credit profiles and consequently lower provisioning requirements. Reflecting its customer-centric approach, REC proactively shared these benefits with borrowers by rationalizing lending rates, resulting in a yield of 9.55% in Q1-FY 2026-27.

    The Company was recognized with the ‘NBFC of the Year’ Award at the 3rd Annual Bharat NBFC & FinTech Summit & Awards 2026 and the ‘AI & GenAI Adoption Excellence Award’ at the 2nd Bharat PSU Manthan & Excellence Awards 2026, underscoring its strong business performance, digital innovation, and leadership in leveraging advanced technologies to drive operational excellence and enhance customer experience.

    REC Limited is strategically broadening its business footprint through targeted investments in conventional power, renewal energy and infrastructure & logistics development in the country apart from being a strategic partner to government of India in implementing the government programs, policy and reforms in the country and steadily fostering long term growth.

    NTPC Invites Bids for 10 MLD Demineralisation Plant for NGEL Green Hydrogen Hub in Andhra Pradesh

    NTPC Limited, on behalf of its subsidiary NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), has invited bids for the development of a 10 MLD Demineralisation (DM) Plant for the NGEL Green Hydrogen Hub at Pudimadaka, Anakapalli District, Andhra Pradesh.

    The tender, issued under Domestic Competitive Bidding, seeks eligible bidders for the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) package of the DM plant. The bidding process will follow a single-stage two-envelope system, comprising techno-commercial and price bids through the Government e-procurement portal.

    Under the scope of work, the selected contractor will be responsible for the basic design, detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, supply, transportation, civil construction, erection, commissioning, testing, performance guarantee tests, training, and five years of comprehensive operation and maintenance (O&M) services on a turnkey basis. The DM plant is designed for a minimum operational life of 25 years.

    The proposed facility will produce:

    • 20 MLD treated water
    • 10 MLD demineralised water
    • 12 KLD drinking water

    The DM plant will include major systems such as pre-treatment, DM water treatment, drinking water facilities with UV treatment and storage, water storage systems, sludge and waste handling systems, air conditioning and ventilation systems, piping networks, fire protection systems, laboratory testing facilities, and associated civil, electrical, and instrumentation works.

    The NGEL Green Hydrogen Hub project is expected to support the development of green hydrogen infrastructure in India by creating essential water treatment facilities required for hydrogen production processes.

    According to the tender schedule, the Invitation for Bids (IFB) was issued on 24 July 2026, while bids must be submitted by 2 September 2026. The techno-commercial bids will be opened on the same day.
