<p>The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (<a href="http://203.129.203.8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NMC</a>) is on the lookout for an experienced engineering procurement construction (EPC) contractor to develop 42 MW of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) and grid-connected solar PV projects.</p>
<p>The bid-submission deadline is June 20, 2018.</p>
<p>The projects will be developed on a deferred payment basis. The projects will be developed across 10 zones of NMC, with an estimated project cost of ₹3 billion (~$44,817,600).</p>
<p>The full scope of work includes the design, engineering, procurement, construction manufacture, supply, storage, insurance, civil work, installation, testing, and commissioning of the grid-connected solar PV and rooftop solar PV projects.</p>
<p>All willing participants must register themselves on <a href="https://mahatenders.gov.in/nicgep/app" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mahatenders.gov.in</a> to purchase tender documents. The NMC has fixed ₹3 million (~$44,817.6) as the earnest money deposit (EMD) for this tender.</p>
<p>Public sector enterprises have begun to look for EPC’s on a regular basis to develop projects. In April, the Airports Authority of India was looking for an EPC to develop <a href="https://mercomindia.com/aai-epc-pv-varanasi-airport/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1.2 MW</a> of grid-connected solar projects. Central Electronics Limited also was looking for an EPC in April to develop <a href="https://mercomindia.com/cel-looks-epc-maharasthra-solar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">12 MW</a> of grid-connected solar projects. Tehri Hydro Development Corporation Limited India was on the lookout for EPC firms to develop up to <a href="https://mercomindia.com/thdcil-tenders-100-mw-solar-epc-mode-uttar-pradesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">100 MW</a> of solar photovoltaic projects in Uttar Pradesh.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://mercomindia.com/tender-auction-activity-april-2018/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">April 2018</a>, approximately 1.3 GW of new solar projects were tendered, over 1.6 GW was retendered, and only 40 MW of solar was auctioned across the country, according to <a href="https://mercomindia.com/product/india-solar-tender-tracker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Mercom</em><em>’s India Solar Tender Tracker</em></a>. Over 1.3 GW was tendered in April 2018, much lower when compared to the approximately 3 GW of solar tendered in <a href="https://mercomindia.com/tender-auction-march-2018/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">March 2018</a>.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="https://mercomindia.com/research/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Q4 &amp; Annual Mercom India Solar Quarterly Update</a> </em>Maharashtra had a cumulative installed solar capacity of 886 MW at the end of 2017.</p>
