REMCL, a joint venture between the Ministry of Railways and Rail India Technical and Economic Service, has issued a tender to implement a 3 MW solar project at the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) complex in Noida, Uttar Pradesh.

The project will consist of both ground-mounted and rooftop solar installations.

Bidders must furnish an earnest money deposit of ₹1.20 million (~$13,953) and a tender processing fee of ₹25,000 (~$290.70) plus 18% GST.

The scope of work entails the design, engineering, supply, construction, erection, testing, and commissioning of the solar project. It also involves providing operation and maintenance for ten years.

Only modules from the Approved List of Modules and Manufacturers must be used.

Both solar cells and modules must be manufactured in India, with all manufacturing steps, from wafer production to module assembly, completed domestically.
