NTPC Limited has invited bids for the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of a 50 kW off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant integrated with a battery energy storage system at Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The project aims to establish a solar power installation capable of operating independently of the conventional electricity grid, supported by battery storage to provide electricity when solar generation is unavailable.
The tender has been issued through NTPC’s Unified Shared Services Center, Contracts and Materials Department, located in Atal Nagar-Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The procurement process will follow Domestic Competitive Bidding (DCB) under a Single Stage Single Envelope bidding system. Eligible bidders interested in undertaking the project can participate in the tender process in accordance with the conditions specified in the bidding documents.
The tender reference number for the package is 9900334660, while the contract location is associated with Tanda Super Thermal Power Station (STPP). The project covers the complete implementation of the 50 kW solar PV plant, including the supply of equipment, installation, testing and commissioning. The battery energy storage system will form an integral part of the installation, supporting electricity availability beyond periods of direct sunlight.
According to the tender provisions, the successful bidder will be required to complete the entire scope of work within four months from the commencement date notified by the Engineer-in-Charge (EIC). The contract will be awarded on a firm-price basis, with financial evaluation conducted on a lump-sum basis. Bidders will therefore need to account for the complete project requirements while preparing their commercial offers.
The tender specifies a security deposit or contract performance security equivalent to 5% of the contract value. However, the available tender information does not explicitly state the monetary amounts for the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) or Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG), apart from the specified performance security requirement. Bidders should consult the complete tender documents and the official e-procurement portal for the applicable financial and contractual conditions.

The bid submission deadline, bid opening date and last date for seeking clarifications are to be confirmed through NTPC’s official e-procurement portal at https://eprocurentpc.nic.in. The tender documents also specify that all required documents must be uploaded electronically, with offline document submission not applicable.
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are eligible for applicable benefits and purchase preference provisions under the tender. The procurement is classified under an exempted category concerning the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) orders. Additionally, bidders from countries sharing a land border with India must fulfil the applicable registration requirements with the competent authority.
Interested companies should review the complete bidding documents, technical specifications and eligibility criteria before submitting their offers.
