The Solar Energy Corporation of India has floated a 1.2 GW tender for transmission-linked wind power projects, adding scale and operational detail to the tender first reported on 9 Oct 2026. Online bids will be accepted until 29 Oct 2026, while offline bids can be submitted until 2 Nov 2026. The projects will connect to the Inter-State Transmission System, State Transmission Utility network or Intra-State Transmission System, depending on the applicable arrangement. ⚡
Key Points:
• Each bidder can submit one offer for contracted capacity between 50 MW and 600 MW.
• The selected developer must identify suitable land, install and own the project, and secure connectivity and other required approvals.
• The scope includes interconnection with the relevant transmission network and allows an STU-connected project to be located in the state where the buying entity is based.
• Power generated under the projects will be supplied to SECI through the transmission infrastructure developed as part of the arrangement.
The tender structure places land acquisition, project development and grid connectivity responsibilities on the selected developers. That gives the process a wider execution scope than a simple generation-equipment procurement and links project completion to the availability of transmission infrastructure. 🌬️
For the renewable-energy sector, the 1.2 GW capacity creates a defined pipeline for wind developers, infrastructure contractors and transmission participants. The single-offer rule and 50 MW minimum bid size also set the participation framework, while the 600 MW ceiling limits the maximum contracted capacity that one bidder can offer. 🏗️
The next dates are the online submission deadline on 29 Oct 2026 and the offline submission deadline on 2 Nov 2026. Market participants will also track the list of qualified bidders, awarded capacities, selected project locations and the associated connectivity approvals. These details will indicate how much of the tender capacity progresses from bidding to execution.
The announcement follows SECI’s broader effort to support wind-power development connected to transmission networks across India. The new source clarifies the tender size, eligibility structure and developer obligations beyond the earlier announcement, which identified 29 Oct 2026 as the proposal deadline.
