Overview
Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu (DH) is a Union Territory in India's Western Region (WR) grid zone, comprising two geographically non-contiguous enclaves—one landlocked, one coastal—embedded within Gujarat and Maharashtra. Its grid posture is structurally that of a net power-importing small UT: it operates no large indigenous generation base of its own and relies heavily on central-sector allocations and state-level bilateral arrangements within WR. The single quantified metric available from the Atlas at this snapshot is a ~48h average carbon intensity of 45.0 gCO2/kWh as of 2026-05-01, which, if representative of the actual supply mix reaching the UT, sits at the lower end of the WR grid's typical intensity range—suggesting either a high renewable share in the central allocations being drawn or a limited, cleaner local infeed. All other generation, demand, deficit, tariff, and open-access metrics are currently unavailable for this UT from the Atlas feed, severely constraining analytical depth. Structural data gaps—not data absence reflecting poor performance—are the dominant feature of this snapshot.
Demand & Supply
Real-time demand telemetry (latest_demand_mw) is not available for DH from the Atlas SLDC feed, which covers only approximately six states with live connections. As a small UT, DH is expected to draw power primarily through the Western Region's inter-state transmission system, with demand likely in the low-to-mid hundreds of MW range, though no figure can be cited from the current data. Fuel-mix payload for DH is unavailable (fuel_mix_slices: 0), meaning RE share and fossil-fuel generation breakdown cannot be quantified at this time. The recent-window RE share delta (re_share_recent_window_trend_pp) is likewise unavailable. Peak deficit data from POSOCO's PSP returns no rows for this UT (peak_deficit_p95_pct: data not yet integrated), making reliability characterisation from deficit metrics impossible. The only supply-side signal available is the 45.0 gCO2/kWh average carbon intensity over the recent ~48h window ending 2026-05-01, which provides an indirect proxy for the mix of power being consumed. Multi-year demand CAGR is not yet computable from the Atlas, which exposes only the ~48h real-time window.
RE & Transition
With fuel-mix data unavailable, RE share (re_share_latest_pct) and its recent-window delta (re_share_recent_window_trend_pp) cannot be quantified for DH. The sole transition-relevant metric available is the ~48h average carbon intensity of 45.0 gCO2/kWh as of 2026-05-01. For context, this figure is notably low relative to coal-heavy grids, which typically register 700–900 gCO2/kWh; however, the 45.0 gCO2/kWh reading warrants caution in interpretation—it may reflect the carbon accounting methodology applied to central-sector allocations or a specific measurement boundary rather than a validated generation-weighted intensity for the UT. No directional inference on recent-window movement is possible without the fuel-mix series. RPO compliance data is not yet integrated (see IEA-58), so the UT's standing against mandatory renewable purchase obligations cannot be assessed. Absence of a multi-year demand aggregator also means long-term decarbonisation trajectory cannot be computed from the Atlas at this time. The transition posture of DH remains analytically opaque pending integration of additional data feeds.
DISCOM Health
DH's DISCOM health cannot be substantively assessed from currently available Atlas data. Open-access charge stack (total_oa_charge_inr_per_kwh) is unavailable for the UT, removing the primary proxy for cost-of-power signals and OA economics. AT&C losses—a core DISCOM efficiency indicator—are not yet integrated from the UDAY dataset (see IEA-57); no loss figure can be cited. Residential tariff data is not available as the Atlas tariff endpoint requires an API key not yet provisioned (see tools-api). Peak deficit (p95) is also absent, precluding a reliability-based proxy for DISCOM supply adequacy. IEX DAM price feed is currently empty, removing market price context. As a UT, DH's electricity distribution is managed through a centrally overseen structure rather than a conventional state DISCOM, which may itself explain some data-feed absences in platforms calibrated for state-level utilities. Structural data gaps dominate this section.
Outlook
With only one metric available—45.0 gCO2/kWh average carbon intensity over the recent ~48h window—the 1–3 year outlook for DH must be framed primarily around data infrastructure rather than operational posture. The carbon intensity reading, if it holds, suggests the UT is drawing from a relatively low-carbon segment of the WR grid, which is a baseline worth preserving as central-sector RE capacity expands under national targets. However, without RE share, peak deficit, AT&C losses, OA charges, residential tariffs, or RPO compliance data, no investment, reliability, or transition recommendation can be grounded in quantified evidence. Priority actions for any stakeholder engaging with DH should include: (1) advocating for SLDC telemetry integration to unlock real-time demand visibility; (2) ensuring DH is mapped in the POSOCO PSP series to enable deficit tracking; (3) provisioning the Atlas tariff API key to surface residential tariff and subsidy structure. Until these gaps close, DH remains one of the least data-visible territories in the WR zone.
