In Maharashtra, the projects would be built on land that belongs to the government. For the projects, the ceiling rate has been set at Rs 3.20/kWh. The deadline for submission of proposals is May 8. The bids start the same day as well. The project's EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) is Rs 100,000/MW.

Within 30 days of the issue of the work order, the selected bidder must submit a performance bank guarantee (valid for fourteen months from the effective date) of Rs 500,000/MW. The power purchase agreement (PPA), which will be signed within a month of the Letter of Award (LoA) being issued, will be in effect for 25 years as of the proposed or new solar power projects' commercial operation date.

Avaada Energy, a renewable energy company based in Mumbai, has won a 560 MWdc solar power project via which it would provide MSEDCL with green electricity. Additionally, MSEDCL has published a request for proposals (RFP) for the e-reverse auction purchase of 88 MW (AC) of solar electricity from projects to be developed in the Nagpur district of Maharashtra.
