NTPC Limited has invited online bids for a domestic competitive project to extend an 11kV power supply to a Green Hydrogen Mobility Station located at NTPC NETRA in Greater Noida. The station will be powered from the existing 33kV switchgear, marking another step in the company’s efforts to support clean energy and hydrogen-based mobility solutions.
The scope of work under this tender includes several important electrical engineering activities. The selected contractor will be responsible for the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a 2.5 MVA oil-type step-down transformer. In addition, the project involves laying and terminating 33kV, 11kV, and control cables, along with relay coordination and testing. The entire project will be funded through NTPC’s domestic resources.
The bidding process will follow a single-stage, two-envelope system covering both techno-commercial and price bids. Submissions must be made through the GePNIC portal. As per the schedule, the invitation for bids was issued on May 1, 2026, and document download also started the same day at 5:00 PM. Interested bidders can submit their queries until May 8, 2026. The last date for bid submission is May 21, 2026, by 3:00 PM, while the techno-commercial bids will be opened on May 22, 2026, at 3:30 PM.
