Bidders must submit a Rs 4.45 million ($54,131) earnest money deposit for the Pitampura project and Rs 4.1 million ($49,874) for the Moti Nagar project. Bidders should total up the EMD amounts listed above and submit them if they are quoting for several schedules.

Bidders must have completed a ground-mounted solar project of at least 500 kW under a group/virtual net metering policy, with or without related transmission line work, and must have provided comprehensive operation and maintenance for a minimum of one year within the previous seven years.

If suitable agricultural land parcels for the complete capacity are few in one place, the bidder can install the overall project capacity at several locations within the same distribution company (DISCOM) licensed region. The capacity of an agricultural land parcel, on the other hand, should not be less than 1 MW.

The contractor must register the projects under the Mukhya Mantri Kisan Aay Badhotari Yojna and arrange for DISCOM to construct a transmission connection connecting the solar project to the substation.

The solar modules used in the project must come from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's Approved List of types and manufacturers, and they must have a minimum capacity of 540 MW. In addition, the module efficiency should be at least 16%.
