Connectivity at the proposed delivery point must be enabled on or before 31 December 2028 or within 24 months of the effective date of the power purchase agreement, whichever is earlier. Financial closure must be achieved no later than six months prior to the scheduled commercial operation date.

The document is priced at Rs 50,000 plus applicable GST, payable via NEFT or RTGS, and carries a bid processing fee of Rs 2 million (mn) plus applicable GST.
