NTPC Renewable Energy Limited, a subsidiary of NTPC Green Energy Limited, has invited bids for solar photovoltaic modules for a 1,200 Megawatt (MW) project at the Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Gujarat. The South Block tender will be conducted through domestic competitive bidding under a single?stage two?envelope system followed by a reverse auction. The procurement is aimed at accelerating deployment in the Rann of Kutch and securing domestically manufactured modules.

The scope obliges suppliers to manufacture, supply, pack, forward and transport crystalline bifacial solar PV modules for four blocks identified as S1, S2, S3 and S4, with capacities between 325 MW and 455 MW DC. The cumulative capacity makes the initiative one of the major module procurements in the country and requires compliance with the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Technical conformity and domestic sourcing are emphasised.

Bidders must have manufactured and supplied a cumulative 200 MW of modules or cells in any continuous twelve?month period within the last five years and must have executed at least one supply order of 50 MW. Financial criteria tie annual turnover requirements to the total capacity bid and require a bidder's net worth to be not less than 100 per cent of its paid?up share capital. The conditions aim to ensure experienced and financially sound participants.

The Invitation for Bids was issued on May eight, 2026, with documents available from May 13 and a pre?bid conference on May 14; the final bid submission deadline is May 22 at 3:00 pm IST and techno?commercial bids will be opened the same day at 3:30 pm IST. The Earnest Money Deposit varies by block; million (mn) is used here to denote converted values, and requirements start at Rs50 mn and rise to Rs500 mn. Bids without acceptable bid security will be treated as non?responsive and rejected. The tender is intended to fast?track module supply while aligning with domestic manufacturing policy.
