Scope of Work
The CESL is currently installing, operating, and maintaining EV charging infrastructure across India and is seeking an accredited independent third-party agency to validate and verify the project based on relevant requirements mentioned in the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) program.

Eligibility Criteria
The bidder should be a qualified validation verification body, an independent third party approved by the VCS. The bidder must have at least eight years of experience and have successfully validated and verified at least three projects in India to date at VCS or any other platform.
Preference would be given to agencies with prior experience developing validation and verification documents related to electric mobility, solar, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.
The bidder should be a company registered under the Indian Companies Act, 1956, or a partnership firm registered under the Partnership Act, 1932, or a limited liability partnership (LLP) under the LLP Act, 2002. The bidder should be registered in India for the last five years.
The bidder should have a minimum annual turnover of ₹10 million (~$134,056) in the last three financial years (from 2018-19 to 2020-21). The net worth of the bidder in 2020-21 should not be less than 100% of the paid-up share capital.
