Interested bidders can submit their proposals through the designated e-tendering platform until 03rd July, 2026. The technical bids are scheduled to be opened on 04th July, 2026. The tender also prescribes an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) requirement of ₹1.72 crores, in addition to the technical and financial qualification criteria outlined in the bid documents.
The large-scale deployment of Solar Streetlights and Solar High Mast Lighting Systems is expected to improve public lighting infrastructure across urban, semi-urban and rural areas of Uttar Pradesh. Solar-powered lighting solutions can help reduce dependence on conventional grid electricity, lower operational costs and support long-term sustainability objectives.
The project is expected to create opportunities for solar technology providers, EPC contractors and infrastructure developers involved in renewable energy deployment. As governments increasingly focus on clean energy-powered public infrastructure, initiatives such as this play a crucial role in improving energy efficiency, enhancing public safety and advancing India’s renewable energy transition.
