The entire project must be completed within 30 months of the agreement date, with a critical 1×1500 MVA interconnecting transformer at Robertsganj pooling station to be completed by December 2030.

To qualify, bidders must have handled infrastructure contracts worth at least Rs 19 billion in the last five years, with individual project experience of Rs 3.8 billion or more. Additionally, they must demonstrate a net worth of at least Rs 7.6 billion over the past three financial years.
