To qualify, bidders must have completed similar projects valued at 40%, 50%, or 80% of the estimated work cost in the last seven years and must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least 30% of the project cost over the past three years. The solar systems must achieve a minimum capacity utilisation factor of 17%. 

Delays beyond the agreed commissioning date will incur a penalty of 0.5% of the contract amount per week, capped at 10% of the total contract value. This move follows similar solar project bids by South Eastern Coalfields and the Central Mine Planning and Design Institute.
