All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
NIT issue/publication date is 15.07.2026; the RfS was downloadable from 6:00 PM onwards.
Common pre-bid meeting: 22.07.2026 at 3:00 PM, Conference Room, 1st Floor, Vidyut Bhawan, JVVNL, Jaipur. Clarification queries must reach JDVVNL by email on or before that date and time; no separate earlier clarification deadline is stated.
Online technical and financial bids close on 12.08.2026 at 5:00 PM. The tender notice says “From 02:00 PM only”, creating a time conflict; the detailed RfS Key Bid Data gives 5:00 PM and should be followed unless JDVVNL clarifies otherwise.
Online technical-bid opening: 14.08.2026 at 3:00 PM. Financial-bid opening and e-reverse-auction timing will be notified later through the e-procurement portal.
Bid validity is 180 days from the last date for submission of the response to RfS.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
Approx. Rs. 630 Cr., calculated at Rs. 1.05 Cr. per MWh, inclusive of applicable taxes and all work, approvals and activities during the contract period.
2% of estimated project capital cost, i.e. Rs. 2,10,000/- per MWh bid. Package EMD ranges from Rs. 92,40,000 (P-12) to Rs. 1,17,60,000 (P-8). Accepted modes are online payment, e-BG, Insurance Surety Bond, or POI; no physical EMD/banker’s cheque is accepted. The instrument validity is internally inconsistent: the specific e-BG clause requires 09 months from bid submission, while A.6.9 states 30 days beyond the 180-day bid validity.
Non-refundable tender document/bid processing fee: Rs. 11,800/- inclusive of GST @18%. Separate non-refundable RISL e-procurement processing fee: Rs. 2,950 inclusive of GST @18%. Both are payable only online by RTGS/NEFT; DD/banker’s cheque is not accepted.
Successful bidder must furnish 5% of estimated project capital cost, i.e. Rs. 5,25,000/- per MWh awarded, as e-PBG or permitted alternative (ISB/POI), before BESPA and within 01 month of LoA/work order. Initial validity is 09 months + 02 months from LoA; return is after two months of successful commissioning and satisfactory O&M, net of delay penalties.
The quoted and payable tariff is a fixed capacity charge in INR/MW/Month on a rental basis. Monthly bills are based on JMR/energy account/system availability/RtE; the due date is the 45th day after complete hard-copy receipt and acknowledgement by SE (Billing), RUVITL.
Early-payment rebate is 1.5% within 05 working days and 1% beyond 05 but within 30 days. Delay beyond 45 days attracts Base Rate as on 1 April + 400 bps p.a. on a daily basis. RUVITL must provide a monthly unconditional revolving irrevocable LC one month before supply, with annual renewal; an escrow arrangement is also promised.
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
Eligible bidders are Companies under the Companies Act, 2013, foreign companies, SEBI-registered AIFs, or a consortium of those entities. Individuals, proprietorships, partnership firms and LLPs are ineligible.
A consortium must nominate a Lead Member and incorporate a project company before BESPA with the identical consortium shareholding. The Lead Member must hold at least 51% voting rights and paid-up capital through COD. A standalone foreign successful bidder must form an Indian subsidiary/SPV with at least 51% shareholding before BESPA. No consortium member-count cap is stated.
A bidder, consortium member, controlled entity, beneficial owner, agent or natural person falling within the land-border-country restriction is eligible only if registered with the Competent Authority. Formats 18, 19, 20 and 21 are required in support.
There is expressly no technical eligibility criterion and no stated past-experience/commissioned-capacity threshold. Bidder must nevertheless commit to commercially established operational technology, no refurbished cells, financing tie-up, DPR/configuration/schedule, and the RfS performance criteria through Format 12.
Minimum net worth is 20% of the estimated capital cost for the bid capacity; a SEBI AIF may demonstrate AUM of the same minimum. Consortium members’ values may be cumulated. Except AIFs, affiliate financial capability may be used with an undertaking to fund equity and PBG. No turnover criterion is stated.
Use latest unconsolidated audited accounts; consolidated accounts are acceptable only where the bidder has at least 26% equity in every merged company. Submit FY 2024-25 audited accounts and Format 13 certificate on CA/statutory auditor letterhead with UDIN. Provisional accounts are accepted only with the prescribed CA/director/company-secretary certifications and undertaking.
Bidder/affiliates must not be wilful defaulters; bidder, consortium members, affiliates and directors must not be barred or blacklisted by listed domestic/international authorities. Format 20 is mandatory. At responsiveness review, a record of abandoning work, non-completion, inordinate delay, major litigation or financial failure may cause rejection.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Design, finance, establish, own, operate and maintain 150 MW/600 MWh of standalone decentralized BESS under BOO: 150 units of 1 MW/4 MWh divided into 12 packages at identified 33/11 kV substations.
Sites are 33/11 kV substations across Barmer/Balotra/Jalore/Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Churu/Hanumangarh, Jodhpur, Pali/Sirohi and Phalodi circles/areas. A bidder may quote at least 1 and at most 3 packages; excess packages are rejected using Format 1 priority.
Provide on-demand charging/discharging under JDVVNL/SLDC/STU/RUVITL dispatch, preferably morning/evening peak. Each system must deliver 4 hours, support one to two cycles/day, at least 6,300 cycles over 15 years (420/year), and maintain 4 MWh/cycle despite degradation through bidder-funded augmentation/replacement.
JDVVNL provides charging energy free for the contracted 6,300-cycle obligation, capped per unit at approximately 4.71 MWh/day for 85% RtE; excess scheduled draw is penalized at previous-year APPC. The seller is paid capacity charge rather than energy price.
LoA-to-project implementation/SCD is 09 months. Delay may continue only to 11 months with LD; O&M/BESPA term is 15 years after commissioning. Individual 1 MW/4 MWh projects cannot be partly commissioned, though separate awarded locations can commission independently.
Technology is agnostic but must be commercially established, cyber-secure, use no refurbished cells, and comply with specified IEC/BIS/grid standards. Required testing includes duty-cycle RtE, equipment/basic functions, annual available-energy test, insulation and environmental tests; annual available-energy reporting uses IEC 62933-2-1.
JDVVNL provides earmarked substation land/space and right-of-use; the BESSD bears leveling/site preparation, all permits/clearances, project development and end-of-term removal/restoration costs.
The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
Submit a single-stage two-part bid (technical and financial) online only at www.eproc.rajasthan.gov.in. The fee/security instruments and fee declaration are Envelope 1/technical-bid items; the priced BOQ is the financial bid.
Use a Class II or Class III DSC. Every online document, including RfS/amendments/BESPA, must be digitally signed by the Board-authorized person. Use only prescribed formats; retain originals for production when called.
Upload scans with the technical bid and deliver physical fee/security proof and every Rajasthan non-judicial e-stamp original by the online bid deadline. The RfS conflicts between SE (RE-DSM), New Power House, Jodhpur and SE (RE-DSM), JDVVNL, Jaipur; obtain written clarification before dispatch.
Scans and online forms must be signed by the authorized signatory; Board resolutions must establish authority. Any cutting/overwriting must be explained in words and duly signed. Foreign-language literature requires a governing English translation.
Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
The AI found nothing to report for this question.
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
Tender notice states 12.08.2026 “From 02:00 PM only”; detailed RfS states 12.08.2026 up to 5:00 PM. The RfS Key Bid Data is the more specific governing schedule, but bidder should not rely on the later time without portal/written confirmation.
The Key Bid Data note directs physical originals to New Power House, Jodhpur, while A.6.4 says the SE (RE-DSM), JDVVNL office at Jaipur. Notice and RfS correspondence details otherwise identify Jodhpur. The Jodhpur address is more consistently stated, but written clarification is essential.
A.6.9 requires validity 30 days beyond the 180-day bid validity (210 days), but A.43.1 and Format 7 require 09 months from bid submission. For an e-BG, the specific clause/form’s longer 09-month requirement should prevail; clarify validity for online payment, ISB and POI.
Tender notice requires the security in favour of SE (RE-DSM), JDVVNL, Jodhpur; RfS Key Bid Data says SE (RE-DSM), JDVVNL, Jaipur. Use the exact beneficiary confirmed by JDVVNL before issuance because a mismatched guarantee can be rejected.
Tender notice header prints [email protected], while its payment/contact table and the RfS repeatedly print [email protected]. The latter is consistently tied to the SE (RE-DSM), Jodhpur and should prevail.
The official BOQ correctly identifies the BESS work and packages, but hidden/trailing cells contain unrelated items such as “Construction of chamber for 100mm sluice plates” and quantities in Nos. These conflict with the capacity-charge BESS price schedule. Do not alter the protected BOQ; seek a clean/reissued template.
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
Please confirm the portal closing time (2:00 PM or 5:00 PM), the exact recipient/city for physical originals (Jaipur or New Power House, Jodhpur), and the time by which those originals must be received.
Please issue definitive EMD instructions for beneficiary city/name and validity/claim period for each mode: e-BG, ISB, POI and online payment. Current clauses conflict between 210 days and 09 months and between Jaipur/Jodhpur.
Please provide the charge/discharge protocol, expected annual dispatch profile, treatment of a second daily cycle, and whether free charging energy/420 cycles per year is a minimum, maximum or guaranteed utilization. These assumptions materially drive cell sizing, degradation and augmentation cost.
Please reissue/clean the BOQ or confirm that trailing waterworks-style items and “Nos” quantities are inert template residue and only the 12 INR/MW/Month package rows are evaluated.
Please clarify SCD relief where JDVVNL land handover, connectivity, tariff adoption, charging-energy readiness or grid works delay commissioning. The RfS allows relief for reasons beyond developer control but expressly excludes charging-source delay, leaving material interface risk.
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
SCD is 09 months from LoA. Up to two months’ delay causes daily pro-rata PBG encashment; beyond two months the entire PBG is encashed and BESPA may be terminated for uncommissioned capacity. Charging-source delay is expressly not an extension ground.
Annual system availability must be 95%; shortfall LD equals twice the Capacity Charges for unavailable capacity. Monthly availability above 95% is capped at 95% in annual averaging, limiting recovery from poor months.
Monthly AC-to-AC RtE must be 85%. Between 70%-85%, excess losses are charged at previous-year APPC plus 2% of monthly tariff for every 1% shortfall. Below 70%, the month’s tariff is withheld and APPC loss LD applies; six such months/year is material breach and may terminate the project.
The BESSD must maintain 1 MW/4 MWh and 4 MWh per cycle for 15 years with no degradation relief, bearing all replenishment/replacement cost; replacement outages count against availability.
Detailed dispatch protocol is withheld until after award, yet the plant must support up to two cycles/day and follow on-demand schedules. Charging above approximately 4.71 MWh/day attracts APPC penalty, creating pricing and operational uncertainty.
Cash flow depends on hard-copy bill acknowledgement and a 45-day due date. JDVVNL/RUVITL may deduct or set off amounts it claims from monthly payments; although LC and escrow are promised, disputed amounts can remain tied up through the dispute process.
BESSD bears permits, statutory taxes, site development, augmentation and eventual removal/restoration. JDVVNL disclaims support beyond earmarked land/connectivity, so site condition and permitting diligence is critical.
Failure to accept LoI, furnish performance security, or execute BESPA can forfeit EMD; missing the one-month BESPA deadline also attracts a penalty equal to EMD. Misleading documents can trigger rejection and encashment.
The inviting authority and relevant contacts: office, person, designation, address, phone and email — and which address receives physical submissions, if any.
