The scope of work entails the design, installation, ownership, testing, and commissioning of the project.

The project can be installed in Tata Power Delhi’s jurisdiction.

Successful bidders must install and maintain a GPS-enabled automatic weather station (AWS).

Selected bidders must use wind turbines that comply with the Revised List of Models and Manufacturers, and solar modules that adhere to the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers.

Projects must be commissioned within 24 months. Delays will result in encashment of the performance bank guarantee on a per-day basis.
