While taking the decision to require competitive bidding for new thermal and transmission projects from January 5, 2011, the power ministry has issued the following clarifications:
- Expansion of PSU thermal generation projects commissioned by the cut-off date will be exempt from the competitive bidding route.
- Upgrade and strengthening of existing transmission lines will also be exempt.
- Further, DISCOMs setting up their own generation plants for supply of entire capacity to the consumers within their licensed jurisdiction will not be subject to competitive bidding, as there will be no `procurement' in such cases.
