NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL) has invited bids for the Balance of System (BoS) package for a 900 MW (1×500 MW + 1×400 MW) grid-connected solar project in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. The last date for submission of bids is June 5, 2026.
As part of the scope, the selected bidder will be responsible for the end-to-end execution of the solar plant, including design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, transportation, installation, testing and commissioning—excluding the supply of solar modules.
The work also covers site preparation activities such as land grading, vegetation clearance, topographical surveys and geotechnical investigations. In addition, the contractor will undertake foundation work and install tracker-based module mounting structures, along with module installation and interconnection.
The bidder will also be required to arrange construction utilities such as power and water at the project site.
The scope of work also includes all associated electrical and civil infrastructure required for grid connectivity. This covers transformers, panels, protection systems, cables and metering at the 33 kV level, along with all necessary facilitation works. The selected bidder will also be responsible for power evacuation within the project scope, up to the 33 kV main pooling switchgear at the owner’s pooling substation.
On the eligibility front, bidders will need to meet minimum financial criteria based on the capacity they bid for. For Block 1 (400 MW), the required funding stands at ₹71 crore, while Block 2 (500 MW) requires ₹88.75 crore. For bidders opting for the full 900 MW capacity, the minimum requirement is ₹159.75 crore.
In addition, the projects cited for qualification must have been operational for at least one year in the case of industrial projects outside the renewable energy sector, and at least six months for projects within the solar or wind segment.
Andhra Pradesh has seen companies like SAEL Industries commence operations at a 600 MW solar power plant in Kurnool. The project was developed with two 300 MW units through the company’s subsidiaries, SAEL Solar MHP1 Pvt Ltd and SAEL Solar MHP2 Pvt Ltd.
Spread across more than 2,400 acres, the plant will supply solar power directly to the national grid. The company said it has signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), providing long-term revenue visibility for the project.
