If a bidder is a qualified contractor registered with the water resources department, they must also deposit a security equal to 0.5% of the contract's value, or Rs 49.91 lakhs. A bidder who is already registered with another department must deposit a security equal to 2% of the contract's value, or Rs 163.66 lakhs.

Earlier, under "Component C" of the PM-KUSUM intended for the solarization of electricity grids, the Jodhpur Vidyut Vitran Nigam had also invited bids for the development of 31.02 MW of grid-connected solar power plants.

Micro-irrigation projects are being developed with an emphasis on the western region of the country, particularly the rain-scarce states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, in order to boost economic growth in the rural areas.

India recently set a goal of micro-irrigating 100,000 hectares of agricultural land. The goal of the dedicated Micro Irrigation Fund (MIF), which the central government established with a budget of Rs. 5000 crore, is to assist states in raising funds to increase the scope of Micro irrigation.
