16 Jan 2026 CW Team

In addition to restoration and commissioning, the selected contractor will be responsible for operating and maintaining the plant for a period of one year. The tender aims to revive the existing solar infrastructure to enable continued clean energy generation for campus operations.

The bidding will follow a single-stage, two-envelope process, requiring bidders to submit techno-commercial and price bids simultaneously. NVVN said the project will be funded through internal resources or commercial borrowings, domestic or external, with the structure designed to streamline evaluation and ensure transparency.

Participation is limited to NVVN-enlisted bidders that meet eligibility criteria under the Make in India guidelines. Only Class-I and Class-II local suppliers are eligible, while bidders from countries sharing land borders with India must have valid registration from the designated authority.

A mandatory site survey has been stipulated as a key requirement. Bids submitted without a signed undertaking confirming the site visit will be rejected. The undertaking must be submitted in the prescribed format, although bidders who previously visited the site for a related 0.5 MW project may rely on their earlier undertaking.

Bids must be submitted electronically via the government e-procurement portal, supported by a valid Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate. The tender reference number is NVVN/C&M/2025-26/RE-487. The bid security has been fixed at Rs 0.05 million, payable through electronic fund transfer. Details on the performance bank guarantee were not specified in the tender extract, while timelines and key dates are available on the GePNIC portal.

NVVN advised interested bidders to review technical specifications carefully and monitor the portal for updates. The initiative underscores the company’s focus on sustaining renewable energy assets and ensuring optimal performance of existing solar infrastructure.
