					</table><p>Madhya Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation (<a href="http://www.mpstdc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MPSTDC</a>) has issued a request for proposal (RFP) to set up electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at various facilities for 10 years.</p>
<p>The cost of the bidding document is ₹5,000 (~$60.6).</p>
<p>Bidders must furnish an earnest money deposit (EMD) of ₹5 million (~$60,501). The EMD will be converted into performance security.</p>
<p>The last date for the submission of the bids is December 26, 2022. Bids will be opened the next day.</p>
<p>The eligibility criteria for the bidders require experience in installing over 100 charging points in India spread across 50 cities with a presence in all the metropolises including Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Delhi NCR.</p>
<p>Bidders must have executed a similar single order worth ₹50 million (~$605,004) or above.</p>
<p>The scope of work demands the bidders to develop allied civil and electrical infrastructure for operating and managing the EV charging stations.</p>
<p>Apart from getting all approvals, the selected bidders will also be responsible for the operation and management of the installations including the annual maintenance contract (AMC) for the period.</p>
<p>The selected agencies must have a charger management system owned and operated by them.</p>
<p>Further, the agencies are expected to prepare a list of equipment and materials along with their respective costs. The list includes the foundation for the placement of charging units and a central management system.</p>
<p>MPSTDC will provide the selected agencies the access to location and permission to use it for EV charging.</p>
<p>It will supply power to the selected agencies with necessary system reinforcements as and when needed at mutually agreed locations.</p>
<p>Last month, the Ministry of Power <a href="https://mercomindia.com/daily-news-wrap-up-charging-infrastructure-guidelines-for-evs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> amendments to charging Infrastructure for EVs. Per the revision, the public charging stations must have a feature of the prepaid collection of service charges with updated rates and discounts for solar hours.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Satna Municipal Corporation in Madhya Pradesh <a href="https://mercomindia.com/bids-invited-10-ev-charging-stations-madhya-pradesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited</a> bids to set up 10 EV charging stations at different locations in the city.</p>
