Once awarded the contract, successful bidders must submit a performance bank guarantee equivalent to 5 per cent of the work order value within 15 days of receiving the letter of intent.

Any project delays will incur liquidated damages of 0.5 per cent per week, with a maximum cap of 10 per cent of the project cost.

In a separate development, ITI recently issued a tender for the establishment of a 500 MW fully automatic solar photovoltaic module manufacturing line on a turnkey basis at its facility in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Earlier this year, ITI also issued a tender for the procurement of 738,000 polycrystalline solar cells, each with a minimum power output of 3.58 Wp and a tolerance range of -0-2 per cent, featuring a 5BB design.
