The Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has invited bids to arrange around 20 acres of agricultural land on lease for setting up two 5 MW pilot Agri-PV projects in the Delhi-NCR region.
The proposed projects will be located within a few kilometres of Issapur and Dhansa villages in Najafgarh, Delhi. SECI is seeking a minimum of 10 acres for each project. Landowners and land aggregators with government or private land can participate in the tender.
The bidding will follow a single-stage, double-envelope process, with bids evaluated primarily on the annual lease rate offered per acre in accordance with applicable government land policies.
The selected land must have a clear title and be free from legal disputes, mortgages, acquisition notices and other encumbrances. It will need to be leased for at least 27 years, with an extension possible through mutual consent.
The land should be suitable for dual-use Agri-PV systems, enabling electricity generation alongside seasonal crop cultivation. SECI has specified that the site should be level or gently sloping, non-waterlogged and accessible by an approach road. It should also be located near Discom transmission infrastructure of 11 kV or higher voltage.
Tender documents are tentatively expected to be available from September 3, 2026, through SECI’s official tender section. Interested applicants can seek further information from Senior Manager (C&P) Biblesh Meena at SECI.
