“The RfS (request for selection) Selection of Solar Power Developers for Setting up of 3GW ISTS (inter state transmission system) Connected Solar PV Power Plant linked with setting up of 1.5GW (Per Annum) Solar Manufacturing Plant under Global Competitive Bidding (Phase-II),” a SECI notice on its web portal stated.

According to the notice, the last date of bid submission is extended till May 14, 2019 (till 1600 hours). The techno-commercial bid opening shall be carried out from 1700 hours on the same day. 

SECI had floated the fresh tender for the 3GW manufacturing linked solar power tender in January this year. Initially, the bidders were to submit their bids by March 18, 2019. 

Earlier this month, the deadline for bid submission under this tender was extended from April 4 to April 22. SECI had also the extended deadline for bid submission to April 4, from March 18, 2019. 

Capping the tariff
One of the industry sources said to PTI that no bidder submitted bids for the tender on Monday. Thus SECI had no alternative but to extend the deadline. The person further informed that SECI has capped tariff at Rs 2.75 per unit since the main issue is capping of tariff under the tender. The prospective bidder had flagged the issue during the pre-bid meeting earlier.

The capping of the tariff has been an issue as it led to the failure of a 10 GW manufacturing linked solar power tender last year also. The tender also witnessed many extensions of the bid submission deadline and finally junked.
