NLC India Tenders 1,500 Acres For Solar Projects In Tamil Nadu

NLC India Limited, Neyveli, on behalf of subsidiary NLC India Renewables Limited (NIRL), has invited bids to purchase around 1,500 acres in Tamil Nadu for solar PV projects. Bids have been sought until 21 September 2026. The tender contemplates land purchases for development inclusive of storage. The tender follows industry practice for utility scale projects and invites participation from experienced developers and contractors.

The tender specifies land requirement at five acres per megawatt (MW), implying the 1,500 acres could support 300 MW of capacity with provision for around 100 MWh of storage. The contractor will carry out the entire scope to arrange the land through outright purchase in the name of NIRL. Bidders must perform topographical surveys and provide site enabling facilities as per technical specifications and connection criteria.

The bidder is required to obtain all permits, no objection certificates, approvals and clearances for the land transfer and to undertake the transfer through outright purchase to NIRL. Each individual parcel must have a minimum area of 500 acres and be free of ownership claims, with specific access from the main road or provision to construct an approach road. If right of way issues arise for interconnecting transmission lines, the successful bidder will be responsible for clearing them and ensuring grid connectivity.

Multiple parcels can be offered provided at least one parcel meets the 500 acre minimum and all parcels lie within a 50 km radius of a state transmission utility (STU) substation of 110 kV or above. The tender notes that the scope is indicative and bidders should ensure compliance with the technical and legal prerequisites before submission. Prospective bidders are advised to perform due diligence on land titles, verify chain of title and confirm grid access before bidding.
