TPSSL will also do the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the project for 3 years after the commercial operation declaration (COD). The LoA for the project was awarded through competitive bidding. The project will get commissioned within 18 months from the date of receiving of LoA. TPSSL will handle the complete project execution from designing to commissioning and the evacuation system up to a delivery point (220KV side of the pooling substation).
“This win not only reinforces TPSSL’s leadership position in the execution of large solar projects but also establishes it as a preferred partner for driving the green energy transition in the country,” the release said.
