The assignment is expected to be completed within three months from the issuance of the Letter of Intent (LoI) at an estimated cost of Rs 1.9 million.

The 26 MW floating solar PV project is being set up at Sipat Reservoir-1B, a site owned by NTPC Limited, as part of its broader push to integrate floating solar capacity into its power portfolio.
