GUVNL Invites Bids for 250 MW Wind Power Projects

Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. (GUVNL) has invited bids for the procurement of power from 250 MW of grid-connected wind power projects under Phase XII, with an option to procure an additional 250 MW through a greenshoe provision.

The projects can be set up anywhere in India. The selection of developers will be carried out through a competitive bidding process followed by an electronic reverse auction (e-RA), according to the Request for Selection (RfS) document issued by GUVNL on November 6, 2026.

Under the tender, GUVNL has provided for an additional capacity of up to 250 MW through the greenshoe option, taking the potential procurement capacity to 500 MW.

The tender documents have been made available for download from November 6. Interested bidders can submit their queries and seek clarifications until November 16. A pre-bid meeting has been scheduled for November 17 through video conferencing. Bidders interested in attending the meeting must register with GUVNL by emailing their names, designations and mobile numbers by November 16.

The last date for online submission of bids is November 30. Physical submission of specified documents at GUVNL's Vadodara office must be completed by December 2. The technical bids will be opened on December 3. The schedule for opening financial bids and conducting the e-reverse auction will be communicated to eligible bidders through the bidding portal.

GUVNL has fixed the non-refundable tender document fee at INR 25,000, plus 18 percent GST. Bidders must also pay a processing fee of INR 3 lakh, plus 18 percent GST. Both payments are required to be made electronically through NEFT or RTGS.

The tender requires bidders to furnish an earnest money deposit (EMD) of INR 13 lakh per MW in the form of a bank guarantee along with their bids. The EMD requirement will be calculated against the capacity for which a bidder submits its proposal, subject to the detailed provisions of the RfS.

The bidding process will be conducted through the Bharat Electronic Tender portal. Prospective bidders must register on the portal as supply organisations or bidders if they are not already registered. Existing bidders with valid registrations are not required to register again.

Bidders qualifying for the e-reverse auction will receive an intimation through the portal after the opening of financial bids. They will be required to pay the applicable auction participation fee and complete the necessary online authorisation procedures within the stipulated time.
