The projects include a 15 MW floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) plant on the raw water reservoir at Yadadri Thermal Power Station (YTPS), a 28 MW ground-mounted solar plant at Kothagudem Thermal Power Plant (KTPP), and a 13 MW floating solar plant on the raw water reservoir at KTPP. The DPR will cover technical specifications, commercial aspects, and feasibility studies to support the establishment of these grid-connected solar power plants.
The bidding process follows a two-part system, where technical and price bids will be evaluated separately.
