After the grant notification is issued, the project must be finished within six months.
The yearly revenue of bidders must have been at least Rs 347 million ($4.56 million) during the previous three fiscal years in order to be eligible. If the bidder cannot meet the above-mentioned average annual turnover criteria on its own, its holding company will be required to do so, provided that the holding company's net worth as of the last day of the previous fiscal year was at least equal to or greater than the paid-up share capital of the holding company.
The bidders' net worth must equal at least 100% of their paid-up share capital as of the last day of the preceding financial year.
