TANCEM invites bids for 20 MW solar projects at Alangulam Cement Works

Tamil Nadu Cements Corporation (TANCEM) is seeking proposals from consultants for the preparation of a detailed project report (DPR) for the implementation of a 20 MW solar power project at Alangulam Cement Works in Virudhnagar district.

The deadline for bid submission is February 19, 2024, with the bid opening scheduled for the same day. Interested parties are required to provide an earnest money deposit of Rs 10,000 (~$120).

TANCEM aims to fulfill the energy requirements of its Alangulam cement plant, boasting an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons of cement, through the proposed solar project.

The chosen consultant will be responsible for developing the DPR within 30 days of receiving the work order. The scope of work encompasses a techno-economic feasibility study, evaluating the suitability of the land site, technical aspects of the solar project's proposed locations, and assessments of land, utilities, and technology. Additionally, the consultant will analyse the financial viability of the project.

Eligibility criteria for tender submission include operational status for a minimum of three years among Indian firms. Qualified bidders must demonstrate an average turnover of Rs 3 million ($36,144) in the past three financial years and possess experience in managing ground-mounted solar projects exceeding 20 MW capacity. This experience should involve either a single project valued at Rs 4 million ($48,192) or two similar projects, each with a minimum value of Rs 2.5 million ($30,120).

Participation in the tender is restricted to bidders with a positive growth in net worth over the last three years.

Last July, the Cement Corporation of India issued an invitation for bids to install and commission 1 MW of grid-connected solar projects at its Bokajan factory in Assam.
