Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), a Government of India public sector enterprise, has invited sealed two-bid tenders for the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a 1 MWp grid-connected rooftop solar power plant at its facility in Cochin. The project will be executed on a turnkey basis and aims to strengthen the company’s use of renewable energy.
The solar power plant will be installed across the rooftops of various shops within the CSL premises, where the structures are up to approximately 25 meters high. The selected contractor will be responsible for supplying all required materials and carrying out the complete installation, testing, and commissioning of the system to ensure its successful operation.
The estimated Probable Amount of Contract (PAC) for the project is Rs. 4,37,26,157. Bidders interested in participating must submit an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) of Rs. 1,00,000 through NEFT or RTGS to the bank account specified by CSL. The Performance Bank Guarantee (PBG) and other execution requirements will be governed by the Special and General Terms and Conditions provided in the tender document, and successful bidders must comply with all specified performance obligations.
The bidding process requires contractors to submit their proposals in two separate envelopes. Cover 1 will contain the Technical Bid, while Cover 2 will include the Price Bid. Before submitting their bids, interested contractors are required to attend a preliminary site study scheduled for August 11, 2026, at 10:00 AM.
