Additionally, the modules utilised in this project must be sourced exclusively from the models and manufacturers listed in List-I (Solar PV Modules) of the ALMM Order. Bidders can qualify through two routes. Route I requires experience in the EPC execution of ground-mounted solar projects with a cumulative capacity of at least 6 MW in the last seven years, with these projects being operational for at least six months before bid submission. Additionally, bidders must have EPC experience with at least two grid-connected solar projects, each with a capacity of 1.2 MW or more, also operational for at least six months before bid submission. Route II requires experience as a developer of ground-mounted solar projects with a cumulative capacity of at least 6 MW in the last seven years, operational for at least six months before bid submission, and experience with at least two grid-connected solar projects of 1.2 MW or more each, operational for at least six months before bid submission.

Bidders are encouraged to visit the proposed site to assess the actual conditions and review the plans and drawings related to the current scope of work, including the power evacuation system and ground-mounted project capacities, before attending the pre-bid meeting. In addition to this solar project, SECI has recently invited bids to select green hydrogen producers to set up production facilities for green hydrogen in India under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Program (Mode-1-Tranche-II).
