No basis for apprehension about hyper-competitive bidding in transmission sector; projects awarded through Tariff Based Competitive Bidding Route: Power and New & Renewable Energy Minister

Posted On: 06 DEC 2023 4:00PM by PIB Delhi

The Union Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy has clarified in response to a parliament question that any apprehension about “hyper-competitive bidding in transmission sector” in FY 2021 to FY 2023 is unfounded. Transmission projects are generally awarded for implementation through Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route. TBCB route was introduced to bring competition in development of the transmission infrastructure in the country.

Details of Transmission projects awarded through Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route during the period FY 2021 to FY 2023 along with the yearly discovered tariff are given below.
