# Plant Name as per the application is 250 MW ISTS Project. Applicant may clarify.

It is to mention that the grant of Stage-I Connectivity shall not create any right in favour of the grantee on ISTS infrastructure

including bays. Stage-I Connectivity grantee shall be required to update the development of their generation project and associated

transmission infrastructure as per format RCON-I-M (available on CTU website >> Stage-I / Stage-II Status Monitoring Portal) by

30th day of June and 31st December of each year. Further Stage-I Connectivity grantee is required to secure the Stage-II

Connectivity for physical connectivity with the ISTS grid within 24 months. The Stage-I Connectivity grantees who fail to apply for

Stage-II Connectivity within 24 months from grant of Stage-I Connectivity shall cease to be Stage-I grantee and their Application

fees shall be forfeited.

Grant of Stage-I Connectivity shall not entitle an applicant to inter-change any power with the grid unless it obtains

LTA/MTOA/STOA for power transfer requirements, in case of LTA, it may require further transmission system strengthening.

Agenda for 26th meeting of NR for Connectivity & LTA Applications

Therefore, the applicants are advised to apply for Stage-II Connectivity and LTA at the earliest to enable power transfer to its

beneficiaries on long term basis.

Members may deliberate.
