In addition, Indian Oil’s Refineries Division recently invited bids for the annual operation and maintenance contract of the 4,360 kW rooftop solar systems at the IOCL Paradip Refinery & Township in Odisha.

In April 2024, Indian Oil issued a tender for the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 1 MW grid-connected open access captive solar power project at its Northern Region Pipelines in Kurukshetra, Haryana. The project includes one year of full operation and maintenance (O&M) services, with an additional nine years of extended O&M support.

In January 2024, IOCL invited bids for the O&M of an existing 1.1 MW solar power project at the Indane Bottling Plant in Devanagonthi village, Bengaluru Rural district, Karnataka. The project is valued at Rs 1.3 million for one year.
