Bidders must have operational or under-construction renewable capacity of at least 100 MW and meet financial thresholds, including a net worth of Rs 20 million/MW and turnover of Rs 7.5 million/MW for FY 2024–25. The scope covers project development, land acquisition, connectivity, and compliance with MNRE-approved technology lists.

Delays beyond six months from the scheduled commercial operation date may lead to capacity reduction or PPA termination.

This tender follows Torrent Green Energy’s recent win in the SECI Tranche XVIII auction for 600 MW ISTS-connected wind projects.
