The procurement process will follow domestic competitive bidding procedures, with participation restricted to Class-I local suppliers in accordance with applicable public procurement guidelines.
NTPC REL will finance the package through its internal resources, external borrowings, or a combination of both. Interested bidders must register on the ISN Electronic Tender Services (ETS) portal to participate in the tendering process. They are also required to submit a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), which is mandatory for obtaining authorisation to download the official bidding documents.
