Once the bidders are selected, they will be required to enter into a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam. The PPA will be based on the levelised tariff approved by the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission. It is essential for the PPA to be executed within seven days of submitting the performance bank guarantee.
