Alternatively, bidders can qualify if they have executed an industrial project within the last ten years, either as a developer or an EPC contractor, in sectors such as power, steel, oil, gas, petrochemical, fertiliser, cement, coal mining, or any other process industry. The specified project should have been operational for at least one year in the case of non-renewable energy sector projects or six months for solar/wind sector projects, prior to the bid opening date.

Additionally, bidders must have experience in executing at least one electrical substation with a voltage level of 33 kV or higher, inclusive of equipment like 33 kV or above voltage level circuit breakers and power transformers. The substation must have been successfully operational for at least one year (for non-renewable energy sector projects) or six months (for electrical substations in the solar/wind sector) before the bid opening date.
