About this dataset

Area-wise market clearing prices show when and where India's transmission corridors congest: identical national prices split by bid area whenever transfer capability binds. Includes the derived corridor-divergence layer (price spread per corridor, time-aligned with NLDC ATC revision events).

Divergence attribution is a correlation signal, not a causal congestion claim.
