NTPC Green Energy (NGEL) has invited bids for procuring 2,500 kW central inverters for a 140 MW solar power project in Bilhaur, Uttar Pradesh.

Bids must be submitted by April 8, 2025. Bids will be opened on the same day.

Selected bidders must furnish a contract performance guarantee of 10% of the total order value.

They must procure TBEA’s model-TC2500KF central inverters which are fully compatible with the existing TBEA inverters installed at the Bilhaur solar project. They must be designed as direct replacements, requiring no modifications.

Successful bidders must submit an interchangeability certificate indicating the inverters’ compatibility with the project’s existing TBEA inverters and provide factory test reports upon material delivery.

The inverters must have a warranty of 12 months from the date of commissioning or 18 months from the date of receipt, whichever occurs earlier.

Delay in meeting project requirements will attract liquidated damages of 0.5% of the unexecuted order value per week of delay. However, the bidder’s liability will not exceed 5% of the awarded order value.

Bidders must be Class I local suppliers per the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India), Order 2017, and subsequent amendments issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.

Bidders must submit their experience through authenticated documents such as work and purchase orders, letters of award, contract agreements, and client and completion certificates.

Bidders withdrawing their offers within the validity period will be barred from future NTPC tenders for six months from the withdrawal date.

Recently, NTPC Renewable Energy invited bids for supplying and installing 271 wind turbine generators for an 813 MW interstate transmission system-connected power project in Bellary, Karnataka.

In the same month, NGEL invited expressions of interest to develop a 5 MW solar project and a 4 MW/12 MWh battery energy storage system in Great Nicobar Island.
