The project is being executed through the Haryana State Agriculture Marketing Board (HSAMB), Panchkula, under the supervision of its Electrical Division in Rohtak. The tender has been issued in the name of the Governor of Haryana and focuses on expanding solar energy infrastructure across government-linked buildings and Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) sheds.

According to the tender details, the project involves the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of rooftop solar systems with a combined capacity of 1308.00 kWp. The estimated project cost has been fixed at Rs 551.29 Lakhs.

The official tender notice was issued on May 19, 2026, and the bidding documents were made available for download on the same day through the e-tendering portal. Interested contractors, firms, and cooperative societies are required to submit both technical and financial bids online before the deadline of June 5, 2026, up to 12:00 PM.
