Webinar: Market & Customer Intelligence on Gwalior for Distribution Franchisee Bidders


Webinar Brief Introduction

The revised MP Distribution Franchisee (DF) RFPs for Gwalior, Ujjain and Sagar has brought down on average coverage area by 100%, number of consumers and electricity sales by 60% and number of DTCs by 77%, with move from district level to city level. There is now mandated capex of Rs. 170 cr for Gwalior, Rs. 70 cr. for Ujjain and Rs. 30 cr. for Sagar and target ATC reductions to 15% in 2 years.
With 30+ companies in the race, already 3 RFP revisions with wider stakeholder engagement, and removal of stringent cash accrual qualification criterion, the bids will likely be more competitive and also volatile. It has become more important now to integrate various perspectives and data sets of information to validate assumptions and prepare informed bidding numbers.
