The company will execute the projects in phases, beginning with 1,500–2,000 MW. With this, CIL aims to accelerate its renewable expansion towards a 9.5 GW target by 2030.

Scope of Work

The tender outlines a comprehensive scope for EPC players, including:

  • Detailed design, engineering, micro-siting, and manufacturing.
  • Supply, erection, testing, commissioning, and performance validation of wind farms.
  • Setting up 33 kV internal evacuation lines, pooling substations, unit substations, Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs), and SCADA systems.

Flexible Bidding Norms

Coal India has permitted WTGs of any size, from 1 MW upwards, provided they are RLMM listed. Applicants may bid for capacities between 100 MW and 2,000 MW, with a minimum EPC package share of 35%.

As per government regulations, successful bidders must ensure the transfer of title/lease deed to Coal India for a minimum of 30 years, including related infrastructure development.
