NTPC Renewables Invites EoI for Sourcing 15 GW of Solar Modules

NTPC Renewables, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC Limited, has invited expressions of interest (EoI) to form strategic tie-ups for sourcing solar modules for a total capacity of 15 GW over a period of five years.

The sourced modules can have cells either manufactured domestically or sourced from anywhere in the world.

The purpose of the EoI is to evaluate the upcoming capacities of domestic solar module manufacturers, their techno-commercial requirements to initiate the process of long-term sourcing tie-ups.

The last date to submit the bids is 8 November, 2021, and bids will be opened on 9 November.

The tender is open for any Indian company, consortium, or affiliates who have already established their manufacturing base in India or plan to set up their facilities in the next six months under the government’s production-linked incentive (PLI) program.

The company is also open to contract manufacturing tie-ups with module manufacturers on a long-term basis under the framework of strategic sourcing tie-ups and would like to receive the detailed framework of the same as a part of the EoI.
