The Letter of Award was issued on August 5, 2026, following Purvah Green Power’s bid in SECI’s Request for Selection for setting up 2,000 MW ISTS-connected wind power projects under SECI Tranche-XX.
The project has been awarded under the tariff-based competitive bidding route for the selection of a wind power developer.

Under the award, Purvah Green Power will supply power from the 175 MW wind power project at a tariff of ₹3.85 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The contract has a tenure of 25 years from the scheduled commencement date of power supply.
CESC said the awarding entity is a domestic entity. It also said neither the promoter nor the promoter group has any interest in SECI, and the contract does not constitute a related-party transaction.
Earlier in March this year, CESC Ltd said it had issued four Letters of Award for the development of wind-solar hybrid power projects under the Ministry of Power’s tariff-based competitive bidding guidelines.
