• A 28 MW ground-mounted solar power project on empty land at Kakatiya Thermal Power Project
• A 13 MW floating solar project on a raw water reservoir at Kakatiya Thermal Project

Bidders must have prior experience providing consultancy services for feasibility study and preparing DPRs. They must also have executed works for at least one floating solar power project and one ground-mounted solar power project anywhere in India in the last five financial years.

Last month, Telangana finalized its renewable energy policy for 2025, planning to add 20,000 MW of renewable energy and storage capacity additions by 2030. The policy will be valid until 2035.

In 2024, the Northern Power Distribution Company of Telangana issued two tenders for 3 MW ground-mounted solar power projects in Karimnagar and Sircilla districts. The project must be completed within six months.
