Commenting on the auction results, JMK Research stated: “The tariffs seen in the last two auctions, i.e., earlier SECI 2 GW with INR 2.36/kWh tariff and this one are highly aggressive. The low tariff trends can be a desperate situation wherein developers are looking to take advantage of the current situation wherein only safeguard duty of 14.9% is applicable.”
