The scope of work includes securing land near the Tumkur substation, handling lease agreements for private land, conducting topography and geo-technical investigations, and land fencing. Additionally, bidders must facilitate grid connectivity, as well as design and construct pooling substations, terminal bays, and transmission lines. The contract also requires operating and maintaining these facilities for three years.

Successful bidders must secure 5 acres/MW of government or private land, either as freehold or on lease for at least 29 years and 11 months. They are also responsible for ensuring that the land slope does not exceed 10% to accommodate tracker-based module mounting structures. Lease payments to landowners must be made upfront, with periodic reimbursement from NTPC REL.

Additionally, bidders must have commissioned an electrical substation of at least 33 kV, including voltage breakers and power transformers, operational for at least one year in non-renewable sectors or six months in renewable sectors.

Financially, bidders must demonstrate a minimum annual turnover of $5.4 million over the last three financial years.
