NTPC Renewable Energy (NTPC REL) has invited bids for an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) package for the development of 300 MW (1×300 MW) of grid-connected solar projects near Nokhra in Rajasthan.

Bids must be submitted by June 22, 2026. Bids will be opened on the same day.

Bidders must furnish an earnest money deposit of ₹200 million (~$2.1 million).

The project involves developing a 300 MW grid-connected solar project with tracker-based module mounting structures.

The scope of work includes design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, packing and forwarding, transportation, unloading, storage, installation, testing, and commissioning of the solar project, including the supply of solar modules.

The contract includes comprehensive operation and maintenance services for three years from the commissioning of the full project capacity.

The selected bidder will be responsible for supplying solar modules, tracker-based module mounting systems, inverters, transformers, switchgear, supervisory control and data acquisition systems, weather monitoring systems, CCTV infrastructure, and module cleaning systems.

The selected bidder will also be responsible for power evacuation infrastructure up to the owner’s 33 kV switchgear at the pooling substation.

The project’s metering will be performed at the 33 kV level. The scope also includes dynamic reactive power compensation equipment and facilitation of grid compliance studies.

Bidders must have designed, supplied, erected, or supervised the erection, and commissioned or supervised the commissioning of grid-connected solar projects with a cumulative capacity of at least 40 MW. This must include at least one project of 10 MW or more that has been in successful operation for at leastsix months prior to bid opening.

Alternatively, bidders must have developed grid-connected solar projects with a cumulative capacity of at least 40 MW, including at least one project of 10 MW or more that has been in successful operation for at least six months before the bid opening date.

Bidders may also qualify if they have executed, during the past ten years, an industrial project worth at least ₹1.7 billion (~$17.9 million) in power, steel, oil and gas, petrochemical, fertilizer, cement, coal mining, coal handling, or any other process industry. The project must have been executed as a single project or single work and must have been in successful operation for the period specified in the tender documents.

Such bidders must also have executed at least one electrical substation rated at 33 kV or higher, with equipment such as circuit breakers and a power transformer.

Indian companies registered in India may also qualify as a group company, holding company, or subsidiary of a firm meeting the technical requirements, subject to the undertaking specified in the bidding documents.

Bidders must have achieved an average annual turnover of at least ₹1.7 billion (~$17.9 million) during the preceding three financial years.

Their net worth as of the last day of the preceding financial year must be at least 100% of their paid-up share capital, subject to the group company support provisions specified in the bidding documents.

This April, NTPC REL invited bids for the balance-of-system package for a 200 MW solar power project in Bikaner, Rajasthan.
