SECI 1 GW firm renewable tender discovers INR 5.25/kWh tariff

SECI's latest tender produced a competitive INR 5.25/kWh price for firm and dispatchable renewable energy supplied on a round-the-clock basis. The structure requires renewable projects to deliver reliable power rather than only variable solar or wind output, implying a larger role for storage and hybrid design. The result matters because it shows India's clean-power procurement moving toward firm supply products that can compete with conventional baseload options.
