This capacity was already been tendered in 2016, but it had to be retendered to attract sufficient interest, said Mercom.
In related news, the Jammu and Kashmir Energy Development Agency (JAKEDA) has tendered for 37.8MW of grid-connected rooftop solar.
The maximum allowable project cost is estimated to be around INR 65/W (US$0.967), a JAKEDA official told Mercom. The projects are also expected to be complete within 12 months.
The lowest bidder will be awarded 7.56MW, with the rest of the capacity available to be distributed equally among any other bidders, who are willing to match the original lowest bid.
