en.Wedoany.com Reported - NTPC Renewables Energy Limited has issued a tender notice in Rajasthan, inviting bids for the supply of modules for its solar photovoltaic power plant. Despite the mandatory requirement for domestically manufactured panels, the company stated that pure solar projects have become scarce, and this asset may still attract aggressive price bids.

According to the scope of work, the winning bidder is responsible for all EPC activities, including the commissioning, design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, packaging and transportation, unloading, storage, installation, testing, and commissioning of solar modules for the photovoltaic power plant. NTPC REL plans to finance the project through its own resources and/or borrowing, and all bids must be accompanied by a bid security of 200 million Indian rupees (mn). This procurement specifically defines the responsibility for module supply.

Technical qualification requirements stipulate that bidders must have designed, supplied, installed or supervised the installation, and commissioned or supervised the commissioning of a grid-connected solar photovoltaic power plant with an installed capacity of 40 MWp or higher, with at least one reference plant having a capacity of 10 MWp or higher, which must have been successfully operating for at least six months prior to the technical and commercial bid opening. Bidders must also have executed, as a developer or EPC contractor, an industrial project within the past 10 years with a single project value of 3.115 billion Indian rupees (bn) or more, and the project must have been in operation for at least one year, or six months, prior to the bid opening.

NTPC management also outlined the state's broader renewable energy plans, mentioning progress on a 1.5 GW project for which land is reportedly already held. The company has signed implementation support agreements and is collaborating with the Rajasthan government on commercial offtake arrangements. Company representatives stated that all tendering activities for the project have been completed, and an execution partner is being finalized.
