The transmission system is to be set up for renewable energy sources in Karur-Tiruppur wind energy zone in Tamil Nadu through tariff-based competitive bidding. The ministry has selected PFC Consulting as bid process coordinator and the selection will be on the basis of build, own, operate and maintain (BOOM).

"The request for qualification (RfQ) bid process for the scheme was initiated on October 21, 2019, which has now been annulled and the bidding process is being re-initiated," the ministry said in a notification.
The bidding will be conducted on MSTC’s electronic platform. The bidders have also been asked for physical submission of their bids.
