The estimated cost of the project is Rs 78.2 million. The work must be done within a year from the date of allocation. Bidders must pay Rs 23,600 as the tender document cost.

The project will have a fixed tariff for 25 years with a cap on tariff at Rs 4 per kWh. The size of every project may be in the range of 10 kW to 400 kW or above on every rooftop.

Each unit can individually connect with the grid and may have separate energy meters.

The bidder should be incorporated in India and involved in the solar power business. The bidder may hail from any nation, be either a single entity or a joint venture under an existing contract.

The bidder should have established and launched a grid-connected solar PV project of at least 1 MW and a rooftop solar PV project of at least 250 kW in the past ten years ending 30th June 2021.
