Defence Estates Office Calls for Bids on Solar Power Projects in Madhya Pradesh

The Defence Estates Office, the land‑management wing of the Ministry of Defence, has released a tender seeking bids for the development of solar power installations across Madhya Pradesh. The invitation is part of the defence establishment’s broader strategy to tap renewable energy sources on its extensive land holdings and reduce reliance on conventional power.

The tender document outlines the scope of work, eligibility criteria and submission procedures for interested private developers and renewable‑energy firms. Participants are required to submit detailed project proposals, including technical designs, financial models and timelines, as stipulated by the defence authority.

Officials indicated that the projects will be executed on defence‑owned parcels of land, ensuring security clearances and compliance with ministry guidelines. The move aligns with India’s national renewable‑energy targets and the armed forces’ commitment to sustainable energy consumption.

The deadline for bid submission and further procedural details are available on the official defence procurement portal. Successful bidders will be awarded contracts after a thorough evaluation based on technical merit and financial viability.
