The project has a total duration of 2065 days, with building and commissioning lasting 240 days and thorough operation and maintenance taking 1825 days. Interested bidders must visit the Coal India Limited tenders website and present a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) issued by an approved agency under the Controller of Certifying Authority (CCA), Government of India. The work is expected to begin within 30 days of the acceptance letter being issued.
