FCI Aravali Gypsum and Minerals India Limited (FAGMIL) has invited bids for the development of a 2.52 MW AC ground-mounted solar power project near Bhawad in Osian, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, under the PM-KUSUM Scheme.
The project will have an estimated 3.024 MWp DC capacity and will be developed under Component-C of PM-KUSUM, which focuses on solarisation of agricultural feeders. The project will follow a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model with a proposed contract period of 25 years.
The selected developer will be responsible for the complete project, including land arrangement, financing, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance. The developer will also be required to guarantee minimum annual generation of 41.94 lakh units, equivalent to a minimum 19% CUF.
