The total cumulative capacity to be awarded to successful bidders under this tender will be 1,352 MW. Bidders, including their affiliates or parent companies, must submit a single bid in the prescribed format.
To participate, bidders must provide an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) amounting to ₹12,70,000 per MW per project, with a maximum limit of ₹20 crore. This EMD must be submitted in the form of a bank guarantee along with the response to the bid document.
