Railway Energy Management Company Limited (REMCL) has announced the result of its 1,000 MW round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy projects. The winners, along with their capacities, include ReNew Solar Power (200 MW), Bhalki Solar Power (200 MW), and Purvah Green Power (CESC) (180 MW). Other winners include Jindal Green (150 MW), Ayana Renewable Power (140 MW), and ACME Solar Holdings (130 MW). Furthermore, all the winners quoted a capacity of Rs 4.35 per kWh. The tender was floated in July 2025.
According to the tender guidelines, the successful bidders are required to set up the renewable energy projects and any associated dedicated transmission network. This includes establishing connectivity up to the delivery point at a voltage level of 220 kV or above, at their own cost. Furthermore, the projects must ensure annual availability of 75 per cent for the first three years of operation and 85 per cent for the remaining contract term. Bidders are required to develop renewable power projects, with or without storage, entirely at their own expense. They must also enter into a 25-year power purchase agreement.
Earlier in January 2025, REMCL issued a tender to select developers for the supply of 500 MW of RTC power from grid-connected renewable energy projects to the Indian Railways.
