Buy-Side Advisory
A developer's deck proves savings against the grid. We prove whether the tariff itself is fair — because our fee comes from you, not the developer.
Most renewable-energy advice in India comes from the people selling you the power. A developer's deck proves savings against the grid — but it rarely tells you whether the tariff itself is fair, because the gap between a fair tariff and the one you sign is what the developer keeps. Infinia is different: we are India's independent renewable-energy advisory. On a buy-side mandate, our fee comes from you alone — never from the developer across the table — so our only incentive is your number.
CleanMax, Cleantech Solar and Fourth Partner Energy are capable developers — but they profit from the PPA you sign. A developer cannot credibly publish ‘the 7 red flags in your PPA,’ because it would undercut their own sale. We can, because we sit on your side of the table. See the red flags we check and how to tell if your tariff is fair.

What does an open access solar consultant do? An independent, buy-side consultant benchmarks your tariff, compares developers, and negotiates the PPA on your behalf — so you don't overpay or sign a risky clause.
How is Infinia different from a solar developer? Developers sell you the power and profit from the PPA. On a buy-side mandate, Infinia's fee comes from you alone — buy-side and sell-side work is strictly ring-fenced — so the only incentive on your file is your savings.
What size projects do you advise on? C&I open-access, rooftop, wind-solar hybrid and storage PPAs — typically 1 MW to 100 MW+ for industrial and commercial buyers across India.

Commercial and industrial open-access, rooftop, wind-solar hybrid and storage PPAs, typically from 1 MW to 100 MW and above.
Six main charges sit between the quoted tariff and your landed cost: wheeling, transmission, cross-subsidy surcharge (CSS), additional surcharge, banking charges and SLDC scheduling fees. Each is set by your state's regulator, and each can move mid-PPA. Quotes are only comparable after all six are loaded.
A captive or group captive consumer holds at least 26% of the plant's equity and consumes at least 51% of its power — and is exempt from CSS and additional surcharge under the Electricity Rules. Third-party open access needs no equity but pays both. The right structure depends on your load, your balance sheet and your state.
The quoted tariff is the developer's per-unit price. Landed cost is what actually reaches your P&L after wheeling, transmission, CSS, additional surcharge, banking and scheduling. The gap is often the difference between a fair deal and a trap — benchmark landed cost, never the quote.
