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.
