Eligible bidders should have prior experience in securing land for solar, wind, or hybrid energy projects with a cumulative capacity of at least 100 MW, including at least one project of 50 MW or more. Alternatively, bidders must have completed an industrial project in the power, steel, oil, gas, or petrochemical sectors valued at a minimum of Rs 20 million as a developer or engineering, procurement, and construction contractor. Additionally, they must have executed at least one electrical substation of 33 kV or higher.
Eligible renewable energy projects must have been operational for at least six months, while industrial solar and wind projects should have been running for at least a year.
