The bid submission deadline is March 25, 2025, with bids being opened on the same day. The cost for bidding documents is Rs 22,500, and bidders must provide a bid security of Rs 100 million.

The project scope includes designing, engineering, manufacturing, supplying, erecting, installing, testing, and commissioning wind turbine generators with a minimum 3 MW rating. Bidders are responsible for establishing guaranteed performance parameters, installing control panels, SCADA systems, and software at NTPC Renewable Energy’s Pooling Substations 2 and 3.

Additionally, successful bidders must provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services for the entire system for ten years, which includes supplying spare parts, consumables, and repairing or replacing faulty equipment. They will also be responsible for obtaining necessary approvals for power evacuation, grid connectivity, and coordination with state renewable energy agencies.

To be eligible, bidders must be manufacturers of approved wind turbine generators with at least a 3 MW rating, as listed in the latest Revised List of Models and Manufacturers from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Bidders must have an average annual turnover of at least Rs 3.27 billion over the last three years and a positive net worth at the close of the previous financial year.

NTPC Renewable Energy plans to finance the project with its own resources.

In July 2024, NTPC Renewable Energy also invited bids for a 960 MW ISTS-connected wind project in Karnataka (Tranche III).

India saw a significant boost in wind power capacity in the fourth quarter of 2024, adding over 800 MW, a 45.1% increase year-over-year.
