The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has extended bids submission deadline for the third time for manufacturing-linked three GW solar power tenders till 14 May 2019.
SECI has extended bid submission deadline for request for selection (RfS) of solar power developers for setting up three GW inter-state transmission system (ISTS) connected solar PV power plant linked with setting up 1.5 GW (per annum) solar manufacturing plant under global competitive bidding (Phase-II).
The techno-commercial bid opening will be carried out on 14 May 2019. SECI had floated fresh tender for the three GW manufacturing linked solar power tenders in January 2019. Initially the bidders were to submit their bids by 18 March 2019.
SECI has capped tariff at Rs 2.75 per unit. The capping of tariff has been an issue as it led to failure of 10 GW manufacturing linked solar power tender in 2018.
