REMCL, a joint venture of RITES and the Ministry of Railways, has invited bids to survey, prepare, and submit feasibility and detailed project reports (DPR) for solar projects in various states.

Bids must be submitted by February 11, 2025. Bids will be opened on the same day.

Bidders must furnish empanelment fees of ₹5,000 (~$57.86) and a tender document fee of ₹2,500 (~$28.93).

Selected bidders must conduct a feasibility study to set up ground-mounted or rooftop solar projects in various states. They must fill in site details per the tentative site survey and prepare the DPR.

They must also design solar systems with detailed engineering specifications of all the components, subsystems, balance of the systems, and grid integration. They must estimate the solar project’s energy generation using the expected performance ratio and capacity utilization factor estimation.

Bidders must have been empaneled either by one state nodal agency, one central or state public sector undertaking (PSU), or at least one government financial institution.

They must have completed at least three projects for either the Solar Energy Corporation of India, any state nodal agency, one central or state PSU, or a government financial institution.

In May last year, REMCL invited bids to hire consultancy services to conduct a technical condition assessment and health analysis of 13 wind turbine generators at its 26 MW wind power project in Dangri, Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan.

In January 2024, the company invited bids to procure 695 MW of round-the-clock power from grid-connected renewable energy projects with or without storage, which would operate in tandem with the existing 500 MW Ircon Renewable Power and 195 MW Rewa Ultra Mega Solar projects.

Earlier, REMCL invited bids to procure 750 MW of round-the-clock power from grid-connected renewable projects with or without storage across India for 25 years.
