The period of the contract is for two years, and interested bidders will have to submit an amount of ₹79,000 (~$1,107.4) as the earnest money deposit (EMD). The last date for the submission of bids is January 31, 2020, and a pre-bid meeting will take place on January 24, 2020.

The contractor should have completed similar work in the past, and the average annual financial turnover should be at least ₹977,000 (~$13,695.7) during the last three years ending March 31, 2019.

Recently, BHEL issued an O&M tender for a 50 MW solar project at Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh for the National Thermal Power Corporation.

The tenders were issued for a 10 MW project for Gujarat State Fertilizer and Chemicals and another 20 MW solar project for Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals at Charanka in Gujarat.
