GAIL (India) has invited bids to select a project management consultant to set up a 178.2 MW wind power project in Maharashtra.

The last date to submit bids is April 23, 2026. Bids will be opened on April 24.

Bidders must have completed/executed the services as a project management consultant or as an owner’s engineer and developed wind power projects of at least 50 MW under a single work under the last 15 years.

They must have a minimum annual turnover of ₹53.9 million (~$574,331) in the last three financial years.

The contract for project management consultancy. will be for 30 months.

In August 2025, a joint venture between GAIL and Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam set a target to develop approximately 250 MW of wind capacity. The renewable energy projects are expected to be integrated with the existing gas-based power output to ensure efficient, complementary power generation.

Apart from wind projects, GAIL has also been investing in solar projects. Last year,  GAIL floated an engineering, procurement, and construction tender for a 17.5 MW floating solar project at its facility in Pata, Uttar Pradesh.

In 2025, GAIL announced an increase in its startup investment fund from ₹1 billion (~$11.53 million) to ₹5 billion (~$57.67 million), to be deployed to nurture promising startups focused on clean energy, renewables, energy storage, electric mobility, and digital transformation.

According to Mercom India Research, India added 6.3 GW of wind power capacity in 2025, an 85.2% YoY increase from 3.4 GW in 2024. The additions marked the highest annual wind installations recorded in the country.

India’s wind power market improved in 2025, supported by higher tender activity, stronger bidder participation, and more competitive tariffs. While land acquisition and grid connectivity remain challenges, developers are addressing these issues, helping keep projects on track for commissioning. A stable tender pipeline and clearer policy visibility have supported investor confidence.
