The successful bidder will have to furnish an amount equivalent to 5% of the contract work price within seven days, along with the acceptance of the letter of intent.
To participate in the bidding process, the bidder should have designed, supplied, erected, supervised, and commissioned grid-connected power projects of cumulative installed capacity of 20% or higher (in MW) of the total bid capacity, out of which at least one plant should have been of 5% or higher (in MW) of the total bid capacity.
The reference project of the minimum capacity must have been in successful operation for at least six months prior to the bid opening date.
The cumulative turnover of the bidder for the last three financial years should be at least ₹1.12 billion (~$14.66 million).
Also, the bidder’s net worth during the last financial year should be positive.
