SECI PMU buy raises Chhattisgarh grid monitoring demand
SECI opened GeM bid GEM/2026/B/7883396 on 6 August 2026 for PMU supply and CSPTCL integration at its 100 MW solar plus 40 MW/120 MWh BESS site in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, with bids due 27 August 2026.
What changed
Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited published tender reference SECI/PS/PMU/01/2026 on 6 August 2026 for procurement, installation, testing, commissioning, and integration of Phasor Measurement Units at its 100 MW solar photovoltaic project paired with 40 MW/120 MWh battery storage in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, with GeM bid GEM/2026/B/7883396 closing 27 August 2026 at 14:00 IST.
The scope includes two PMUs with 12-port line interface units, GPS antennas, Layer-3 switches, and integration with CSPTCL’s phasor data concentrator and state load despatch centre in Raipur—creating a near-term buy for grid-monitoring hardware tied to this hybrid asset rather than a generic India renewables trend.
Products affected
Primary map: phasor measurement units and line interface units for the Rajnandgaon solar-BESS site, GPS timing and antenna kits, Layer-3 network switches and configuration software, and commissioning packages linking PMUs to CSPTCL’s PDC and SLDC interfaces.
Buyer segments to prioritize
Prioritize SECI project procurement for the Chhattisgarh solar-BESS package and the CSPTCL grid-integration desk in Raipur validating PMU-to-PDC links before the 27 August 2026 GeM close.
Exporter action
Submit IEC 61850-compliant PMU datasheets, GPS timing accuracy records, and India grid-integration references into GEM/2026/B/7883396 before 27 August 2026; missing PDC interoperability evidence risks techno-commercial rejection on this hybrid monitoring lot. Industry estimate: PMU and GPS kit lead times still run 8–12 weeks from PO.
