Energy Transmission & Solutions

The energy transition demands equally significant investment in grid infrastructure, storage and distributed energy systems. From high-voltage transmission to behind-the-meter solutions and pump storage, Infra Advisors advises across the full transmission and energy solutions value chain.

transmission

Transmission

India’s power transmission network requires significant augmentation to absorb renewable capacity additions and reduce curtailment. The Central Electricity Authority’s National Electricity Plan identifies over ₹9.15 lakh crore in transmission investment requirements through 2032, with tariff-based competitive bidding as the primary procurement route.
We advise transmission developers and lenders on TBCB project structuring, bid preparation and financing. Our work includes transmission system studies, revenue modelling under CERC tariff regulations and debt arrangement for InvIT-eligible transmission portfolios.
bess

BESS

India targets 30 GW / 120 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems by 2030, backed by Viability Gap Funding under the MNRE framework. BESS is critical to managing the intermittency of renewable generation and enabling India’s grid to operate reliably at high renewable penetration levels.
Infra Advisors provides advisory on standalone and co-located BESS projects, covering technology selection, revenue stacking models, VGF optimisation and project financing. We support developers and utilities in structuring commercially viable storage projects within the evolving CERC and MNRE regulatory environment.
micro grid

Microgrid

Microgrids are increasingly deployed for industrial campuses, remote communities and critical infrastructure, providing reliable, locally controlled power. As India pursues energy security and decarbonisation targets, commercial and industrial microgrid development is attracting significant interest from developers and investors.
We advise on microgrid project development and financing from load analysis and generation mix optimisation to concessional financing and EPC contract structuring. Our advisory supports developers targeting both rural electrification programmes and private C&I microgrid deployments.
pumped-storage

Pump Storage

Pumped storage hydropower (PSP) is India’s most scalable long-duration storage solution. The government has identified over 96 GW of PSP potential, with MNRE’s pump storage policy providing dedicated tariff and regulatory support to accelerate development of projects critical to grid balancing.
Infra Advisors advises PSP developers on project development structuring, hydrological assessments, concession frameworks and debt arrangements. We work with state governments and developers to structure viable off-take arrangements and navigate the regulatory approvals specific to pumped hydro assets.
capacitive modelling

Captive C&I Modelling

Commercial and industrial consumers are increasingly procuring power directly through open access, group captive and long-term PPA structures to manage energy costs and meet sustainability commitments. Captive renewable capacity additions crossed 20 GW cumulatively, with robust annual growth driven by corporate decarbonisation mandates.
We provide detailed energy procurement advisory for large C&I consumers, including tariff benchmarking, open access feasibility, group captive structuring and long-term PPA negotiation. Our financial models capture the full cost-benefit profile of captive versus grid power across regulatory scenarios.
smart meter

Smart Meter

India’s Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) mandates the installation of 250 million smart prepaid meters across the country, with a total outlay exceeding ₹3 lakh crore. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) deployment is central to reducing AT&C losses and improving utility financial health.
Infra Advisors advises AMSOC operators, technology providers and distribution utilities on RDSS project structuring, bid preparation and concessional financing. We support clients through IIPDF-backed feasibility stages and assist in navigating MoP guidelines, RFQ/RFP processes and AMI concession design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions on transmission infrastructure, energy storage, smart grids, project finance, and investment advisory for sustainable energy solutions.

Under TBCB, the government tenders transmission projects to the private developer offering the lowest levelised tariff over a 35-year concession. Developers must assess transmission system studies, CERC tariff regulations and financing feasibility before submitting bids. Infra Group advises transmission developers on bid preparation, revenue modelling, debt arrangement and InvIT-based portfolio structuring for TBCB transmission assets.

BESS financing in India is constrained by technology cost uncertainty, limited track records for lenders and evolving revenue streams from ancillary services and grid balancing contracts. Infra Group advises BESS developers and offtakers on revenue structuring, project finance feasibility, capacity market contract analysis and lender engagement as India's storage policy framework matures under MNRE and CERC guidelines.

Pump storage projects store excess renewable energy by pumping water uphill and generating power during peak demand, providing critical grid balancing. India has identified over 96 GW of pump storage potential. Infra Group advises pump storage developers on concession structuring, hydrological assessment coordination, PPA and ancillary revenue modelling and project finance arrangements for utility-scale pump storage facilities.

Smart metering under RDSS replaces conventional meters with prepaid smart meters to enable real-time monitoring and reduce AT&C losses, targeting 250 million meters under a ₹3 lakh crore outlay. Infra Group advises AMSOC operators and utilities on RDSS contract structuring, IIPDF-backed feasibility, and financing for large-scale rollouts.

Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) allow transmission developers to monetise operational assets by listing them on Indian exchanges, recycling capital for new development. SEBI-regulated InvITs provide stable dividend yields to institutional investors. Infra Group provides InvIT advisory to transmission portfolio owners, including asset pooling strategy, regulatory structuring, financial modelling and investor outreach for transmission InvIT listings.
