There is now mandated capex of Rs. 170 cr for Gwalior, Rs. 70 cr. for Ujjain and Rs. 30 cr. for Sagar and target ATC reductions to 15% in 2 years.
With 30+ companies in the race, already 3 RFP revisions with wider stakeholder engagement, and removal of stringent cash accrual qualification criterion, the bids will likely be more competitive and also volatile. It has become more important now to integrate various perspectives and data sets of information to validate assumptions and prepare informed bidding numbers.
