Telangana issues 2 GW renewable energy tender

The Telangana Renewable Energy Development Corporation Limited (TGREDCO) has issued a tender to select developers for 2,000 MW of firm and dispatchable renewable energy round-the-clock (FDRE-RTC) power.

The buying entity will designate six peak hours daily between 18:00 and 10:00 the following morning. Full project capacity must commence supply within 24 months of the effective date of the agreements. The deadline for online bid submission is November 4, 2026.
