Earlier, on 30 August 2024, PFC Consulting had been appointed as bid process coordinator (BPC) by Ministry of Power for the purpose of selection of bidder as ‘transmission service provider’ (TSP) to establish a transmission system through tariff based competitive bidding process (TBCB).

As per the provisions of TBCB Guidelines, the BPC has to prepare the project profile and initiate the process of land acquisition and forest clearance, if required. For these activities, a SPV is required to be incorporated which will take up various preparatory activities of the transmission projects, e.g., survey and preparation of report, initialization of the process of acquisition of land and also initiate the process of seeking forest clearance, if required.

Accordingly, the SPV has been incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of PFC Consulting to develop the aforementioned transmission scheme. This SPV will be transferred to the successful bidder after the completion of the bidding process. The successful bidder selected through the bidding process would develop the project.
