RVUNL seeks consultants to plan 34.3 GW of solar parks on 62,000 hectares in Rajasthan
Work includes land design, “KMZ” layout, land record retrieval, and private parcel identification
A single-source 6-month contract will be awarded, with the last date for bid submission being July 29, 2025 for consultancy services
Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RVUNL) is inviting consultancy services for end-to-end planning of identified government land, enough to host 34.3 GW of solar park capacity, to help achieve the state’s renewable energy targets.
This solar park capacity is spread across the districts of Bikaner, Jaisalmer, and Barmer. It would require close to 68,000 ha of land, but work will be carried out on 62,000 ha. The largest chunk of 12.5 GW is planned on 25,000 ha in Fatehgarh, Jaisalmer.
RVUNL says that all the solar parks in the list are registered with the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Limited (RRECL), which is the nodal agency.
The consultancy work will include designing the land bank, including the “KMZ” layout and associated work for the submission of a proposal for the allotment of suitable land to the revenue department for development of solar parks.
The winner will also assist RVUNL in expediting the land allotment process, retrieving land details from official records, and analyzing these to achieve a contiguous project site as feasible, including the identification of land parcels owned by private entities that may need to be procured or leased.
It will be a single-source procurement with a 6-month-contract. The same will start from the date of award of the letter of intent (LOI).
The agency launched the tender on July 22, 2025, and will accept bids till July 29, 2025. Details are available on the Rajasthan government’s e-procurement website under Tender ID 2025_RRVUN_489301_1.
Recently, KKR-backed independent power producer Serentica Renewables was also scouting for land parcels in Rajasthan to develop 5 GW of new renewable energy capacity (see Serentica Renewables Seeking Land For 5 GW RE Capacity).
Rajasthan is India’s top performing solar state with more than 31.9 GW of installed PV capacity as of the end of June 2025. The state with vast stretches of desert land, targets 125 GW of renewable energy capacity by FY 2029-30, of which solar power will account for 90 GW under its Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024 (see 90 GW Solar Leads Rajasthan’s 125 GW Renewable Energy Target).
