Mercom India ↗What it means
At 688 MWh over 172 MW, this is a four-hour system — the long-duration shape solar-heavy states use to firm daytime generation into dispatchable evening power. It lands alongside POWERGRID’s 500 MW / 1,000 MWh tender in a busy procurement week, reflecting how storage obligations under India’s BESS policy are pushing both central and state buyers into the market.
As of this briefing the tender is open at the bidding stage — deadlines and the assignee will be updated here as Rajasthan publishes them.
