A specialized power sector tender has been issued in Sikkim to equip the state load despatch centre with modern substation automation system (SAS) and ABT meters. The technical bid stage has already drawn three bidders, all of whom are niche players in the Indian power sector, reflecting a focused competition for this specialized grid modernization package. The substation automation system is designed to integrate real-time monitoring, control, and audit functions into the state’s transmission and distribution framework. By embedding ABT meters into the load despatch system, the package is expected to improve accountability and reduce technical as well as commercial losses. This makes the tender significant for utilities that are under pressure to deliver efficiency and transparency. In India’s power sector, tenders of this type are critical for state utilities that aim to modernize infrastructure in line with regulatory norms. The integration of SAS and ABT meters is especially relevant for grid operators in smaller states like Sikkim, where system losses have historically been higher. The package also underlines the broader push across the Indian power sector to adopt digital automation technologies in substations.Industry experts point out that this project is part of a wider transition in the Indian power sector from legacy systems to real-time data-driven operations. While large EPC players dominate generation-linked packages, automation tenders like this one often attract smaller specialists with domain-specific expertise. With technical bids under evaluation, attention now shifts to the commercial round. The outcome will indicate how aggressively niche contractors are positioning themselves in India’s growing substation automation and smart metering market, Indian Power Sector, Powering India, Electric India, India Energy, Power Sector in India, EnergylineIndia.

Major Indian Thermal Power Expansion Tender Sees Deadline Extension ?? India’s next major 2x800 MW coal-fired balance of plant (BoP) project has officially extended its tender window to late June 2025, giving EPC bidders valuable extra time to strengthen both technical and financial proposals. This project is a key pillar in the ongoing Indian thermal power expansion, signaling continued government and private sector commitment to balancing energy demand with reliable coal-fired capacity. The tender extension is significant for contractors tracking Indian thermal power plant updates and thermal power EPC contracts, especially given the scale of balance of plant works involved — from coal handling plants to ash management systems and critical auxiliary systems. As India’s power sector continues to push forward with its thermal power expansion, EPC players are under pressure to deliver more optimized, efficient, and environmentally compliant solutions.This delay offers bidders the chance to sharpen their commercial strategies, update technical configurations, and better align with evolving Indian power sector requirements, including the latest emission norms and operational efficiency targets. Importantly, this tender fits into a broader pattern of Indian thermal power expansion, where large-scale projects play a balancing role alongside India’s aggressive renewable energy goals. With more coal procurement tenders India, thermal power project updates, and balance of plant packages coming to market, the Indian power industry’s dual track of renewable growth and thermal power expansion will continue shaping EPC opportunities in 2025.
