The bidder was expected to develop Project-1 of 160 MW (AC), 40 MW (AC) of Project-2, 80 MW (AC) of Project-3, and another 80 MW (AC) of Project-4, in accordance with the provisions laid out on 30.09.2022.

The balance of the system package encompassed power evacuation and a three-year comprehensive operation and maintenance for a cumulative capacity of 400 MW (AC).
