					</table><p>Satna Municipal Corporation (<a href="http://satnamunicipalcorporation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SMC</a>) in Madhya Pradesh has invited bids to set up ten charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) at various locations in the city.</p>
<p>The successful bidder will be responsible for the maintenance activities of the project for the contract period of 20 years from the contract&#8217;s signing date.</p>
<p>The last date to submit the bids is September 20, 2022. Bids will be opened on September 22.</p>
<p>Bidders will have to submit ₹100,000 (~$1,250) as an earnest money deposit. The licensee should pay a security deposit equivalent to six months of the license fee.</p>
<p>The license fee quoted by the successful bidder and accepted by SMC will be escalated by 7% annually on a compounding basis, i.e., at the beginning of every anniversary during the agreement period as per the terms and conditions set out in the agreement. The selected bidder will be the bidder quoting the highest license fee.</p>
<p>SMC will provide the space for setting up charging stations at any feasible location in the city.</p>
<p>The contract will be for 20 years with a lock-in period of five years, after the letter of acceptance of the notice of award. After 20 years, SMC will invite fresh bids, and the operator already working with SMC will have the first right of refusal.</p>
<p>A land area of 75 square meters will be provided for setting up each EV charging station.</p>
<p>The operator must install DC-type EV chargers for 4-wheelers and 2-wheelers at the premises. SMC will not provide any subsidy for installing EV charging station infrastructure. The bidder can approach competent authority on their own to seek any such subsidy per available guidelines and rules (if any).</p>
<p>The details of the charging stations to be set up in the city are given below:</p>
