They must also submit an earnest money deposit of Rs 472,000 ($5,965)/MW of quoted capacity. Successful bidders must submit Rs 1.3 million ($16,419)/MW of quoted capacity as a performance bank guarantee.

MSEDCL will enter into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the selected bidders to purchase solar power for 25 years from the scheduled commercial operation date in the case of proposed or new solar projects. For existing projects, the tenure would be 25 years from the PPA execution date.

The minimum project capacity for intra-state projects will be 25 MW at a single location. For inter-state projects, the minimum project capacity will be 50 MW at a single location with a minimum bid capacity of 50 MW.
