Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd (JVVNL) has invited price bids for 354 MW of grid-connected solar projects under the PM-KUSUM – Component A scheme. The tenders, divided into four packages, aim to connect projects to 33/11 kV substations via 33 kV or 11 kV lines, including Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS).

Tender 1: 116 MW in Nokha division, Bikaner district (58 sites, 1.50–2 MW each).

Tender 3: 56 MW in Gudamalani division, Barmer circle (25 sites, 1–2 MW each).

The scope covers design, survey, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and 25 years of operation & maintenance. Tariff bids must be up to three decimal places and cannot exceed the Rs3.040/kWh ceiling. The processing fee is Rs2,950 (including GST).
