GAIL will be the project developer and BHEL will act as an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Project Management Contractor. BHEL shall also provide Operation & Maintenance services during the initial period upon becoming successful bidder.
This development will help both the companies to leverage their competitive strengths to build substantial portfolio in solar power projects in line with INDC targets of Government of India.
The MOU aims at building a closer strategic partnership between the two Maharatna PSUs for jointly pursuing commercial solar power projects through participation in Tariff / Viability Gap Funding (VGF) based competitive bidding process.
