The commissioning period is 15 months for the Sanesh plant (55 MW), 12 months for the Pachchham plant (40 MW), and 10 months for the Nikava plant (15 MW).

To be eligible, the bidder should have carried out similar work or have plant installation under progress—in India or outside—for a cumulative 66% of the total bid capacity, with a minimum 1 MW scale of plant. Out of this installed capacity, cumulative 90% should have been commissioned and in operation in India, with at least one solar PV power plant having 66% of the commissioned capacity.
