Telangana Plans 132 MW Solar Projects, Issues Bid For DPRs

The Telangana Power Generation Corporation Limited (TSGENCO) has issued a tender seeking consultants to prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for 132 megawatts (MW) of solar power projects, the utility said Monday.

The contract covers the development of DPRs for a 107 MW ground-mounted solar plant across multiple hydel and thermal sites, a 20 MW floating solar project, and a 5 MW rooftop solar installation, all intended to be grid-connected. The estimated tender value is INR 2.33 million.

Bids By June 5

Bidders must submit proposals by June 5, 2025, at 2:30 pm, TSGENCO said in the tender document.

The ground-mounted plant will be distributed across sites including KTPS VII (13 MW), PCHES (67 MW), LJIES (24 MW), and PJHEP (3 MW). The floating and rooftop projects are planned at the Bhadradri Thermal Power Station (BTPS).

The selected bidder will be responsible for a range of tasks, including site inspections, technical assessments, radiation and shadow analysis, demand and water requirement studies, grid connectivity evaluation, and environmental impact analysis. The DPR must also include financial modeling such as return on investment and cost of generation, in line with Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) guidelines.

Compliance With State Policy 

TSGENCO specified that the reports should comply with the Telangana State Solar Power Policy (2015 and 2024), as well as technical and environmental standards set by national and state regulators.

Key technical requirements include system design, layout planning, instrumentation, construction methodology, and preparation of PERT and CPM charts for project implementation scheduling.

The DPRs must incorporate the latest technology and assess state-of-the-art control systems, the tender added.

TSGENCO is expanding solar capacity as part of its broader transition to renewable energy and aims to improve power generation efficiency while reducing its carbon footprint.
