Adyant Enersol (Dutta Infra) has emerged as the L1 bidder and won 100 MW at a tariff of INR 6.27/kWh.
Serentica Renewables India and AMPIN Energy Utility Nine (AMPIN Energy Transition) have secured 600 MW and 199 MW, respectively, at a tariff of INR 6.28/kWh.
ACME Solar Holdings has bagged 301 MW out of the quoted 600 MW at a tariff of INR 6.28/kWh, under the bucket-filling method.
The tender for this was floated in October 2025.
The bid requires the supply of 4 MWh per MW of contracted capacity for any four hours each day, only during the non-solar hours, while ensuring availability of 70 percent on a monthly and 85 percent on an annual basis.
“The project would integrate Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) technology to meet the supply requirements and would utilise the night-time connectivity already available with the company,” stated ACME Solar, further adding that with this wi,n ACME Solar’s diversified portfolio stands at 8,071 MW contracted capacity spanning solar, wind, storage, hybrid, FDRE and RTC solutions.
The winners are allowed to procure up to 5 percent of annual renewable energy from green markets or bilateral arrangements to meet the obligation.
The developers are required to install and maintain GPS-enabled Automatic Weather Stations (AWS), with data availability ensured for Load Dispatch Centres as per Indian Electricity Grid Code requirements. Cybersecurity compliance is mandatory in line with central government directives.
Additionally, successful bidders and any associated SPVs must sign connectivity sharing agreements with the Central Transmission Utility (CTU) before entering into the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
Commenting on the win, Akshay Hiranandani, CEO, Serentica Renewables, said, “India’s energy transition is entering a phase where reliability and availability are as important as capacity addition. The FDRE VII Assured Peak tender marks a pivotal shift in that direction. By delivering clean power during non-solar hours, this project addresses one of the grid’s most pressing challenges of meeting evening peak demand sustainably. At Serentica, we remain focused on building renewable solutions that are not only clean but also dispatchable, dependable, and closely aligned with the needs of the power system.”
