On May 30, 2025, NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC Limited, invited bids on behalf of IndianOil NTPC Green Energy Private Limited (INGEL) for the supply of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. The modules will be used for setting up 600 MW (757.5 MWp) solar power projects in Bhuj, Gujarat.
The last date for bid submission is July 3, 2025.
The scope includes manufacturing, supply, packing, forwarding, and transportation of crystalline bi-facial solar PV modules with a minimum rating of 570 Wp. The project will be developed in two blocks of 300 MW (378.75 MWp) each.
This project is part of INGEL’s larger plan to develop 650 MW of round-the-clock (RTC) renewable power projects. INGEL is a joint venture between NGEL and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), with equal ownership.
The full RTC plan includes 800 MW of solar, 1,000 MW of wind, and 1,200 MWh of energy storage projects across India. The power generated will be supplied to IOCL under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) to meet the electricity needs of its upcoming refineries.
Separately, NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NTPC REL), another NTPC subsidiary, re-invited bids on May 30, 2025, for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of 250 MW of grid-connected solar PV power projects in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Bids must be submitted by June 30, 2025.
Earlier bids for 260 MW capacity were invited in April 2024.
The EPC scope includes full design and execution of the solar plant—module supply, topographical survey, geotechnical work, tracker-based mounting structure, civil and electrical works, evacuation up to the 33 kV pooling substation, and module cleaning systems.
