IOCL arm Terra Clean floats EPC tender for solar projects
The Story in Brief
Terra Clean (TeCL), the wholly owned subsidiary of Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), has invited bids to empanel engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors for solar power projects connected to the interstate transmission system (ISTS) and intrastate transmission system (InSTS). The scope covers design, engineering, supply, construction, installation and commissioning of balance of system and balance of plant.
The tender aims to set up grid-connected solar capacity across both transmission corridors. Bids must be submitted by November 30, 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The tender targets the segments that matter most for India's solar goals: ISTS projects move power across state lines, and InSTS projects serve within a state, together covering the bulk of utility-scale capacity. Terra Clean, as an IOCL subsidiary, brings state-owned capital and credit strength, which may lower financing costs for winning bidders. The empanelment structure lets Terra Clean award multiple contracts over time, so the November 30 bid deadline is the first filter. What remains open is how many contractors will be empanelled, the total capacity this tender will unlock, and whether the terms will attract the same competitive pricing seen in earlier Solar Energy Corporation of India tenders.
