⚡ Quick Read
NTPC, India’s largest power utility, continues to expand its renewable energy footprint by integrating solar power into its existing thermal power station infrastructure. The latest development involves the procurement of solar modules for a 10 MW solar project situated at the Ramagundam Super Thermal Power Station in the Peddapalli district of Telangana. This initiative aligns with the company’s broader strategy to diversify its energy mix and reduce the carbon intensity of its operations across the country.
The tender, issued by NTPC, specifically requests the supply of 1,300 kWp of solar modules. While the total project capacity is 10 MW, this specific procurement phase focuses on the module component essential for the project’s energy generation. Interested bidders are required to adhere to the technical specifications and quality standards mandated by NTPC for its utility-scale installations. The final date for the submission of bids has been set for September 4, 2026. Prospective suppliers must ensure that their proposals are compliant with the technical requirements to participate in the competitive bidding process.
For EPC contractors and solar developers operating in the Indian market, this tender represents a targeted opportunity to engage with one of the most reliable counterparties in the sector. NTPC projects are known for their rigorous procurement standards, and securing a supply contract with the utility can enhance a vendor’s credentials for future large-scale renewable energy tenders. Developers should monitor the technical specifications closely, as module efficiency and degradation warranties remain critical factors in the long-term performance of solar assets.
Following the bid submission deadline on September 4, 2026, NTPC will proceed with the technical and financial evaluation of the proposals. Successful bidders will be expected to manage the logistics and delivery of the modules to the Ramagundam site to meet the project’s commissioning timelines. As India continues to scale its renewable energy sector, such modular tenders are vital for maintaining the momentum of the country’s 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030. The integration of solar capacity within existing thermal power hubs remains a strategic priority for NTPC as it transitions toward a more sustainable energy portfolio.
Below is the summary of the tender issued by NTPC for the Ramagundam solar project.
