Biomass Pellets Manufacturing: APCPL’s Tender Invitation
Introduction:
Welcome, business entrepreneurs, to an exciting and lucrative opportunity in the Biomass Pellet manufacturing sector. Today, we’ll walk you through a golden business chance offered by Aravali Power Company Private Limited (APCPL) for biomass pellet suppliers and traders. As biomass energy demand continues to rise, especially in India, this tender could open doors to substantial profits for manufacturers, traders, and aggregators.
APCPL has invited tenders for the supply of biomass pellets to its Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Project, located in Jharli, Jhajjar, Haryana. This project has a massive demand of 3,86,900 tons of biomass pellets, which are to be supplied over the course of one year. If you are in the biomass pellet manufacturing business or trade, here is everything you need to know to capitalize on this opportunity.
Why Biomass Pellets are in High Demand?
Biomass pellets are in growing demand due to their use as an alternative energy source in thermal power plants, industrial processes, and commercial sectors. The Ministry of Power has mandated the use of biomass in thermal power plants as a substitute for coal, which makes this sector highly promising. Industries like steel, pharmaceuticals, paper, hotels, and brick manufacturing are increasingly adopting biomass pellets as a cleaner and more sustainable fuel option.
About the APCPL Tender Opportunity
Aravali Power Company Private Limited (APCPL) has issued a tender for the supply of a massive quantity of biomass pellets for their Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Plant in Haryana. The specific tender requirements and opportunities are outlined below:
- Location: Jharli, Jhajjar, Haryana
- Total Biomass Pellet Demand: 3,86,900 tons over 365 days (1 year)
- Daily Requirement: 1,060 tons/day
- Supply Period: One year
- Who Can Apply?: Only existing biomass pellet manufacturers, traders, or aggregators are eligible to participate in this tender. Future manufacturers (i.e., those who are yet to establish production) cannot participate.
The tender offers a prime opportunity for NCR-based manufacturers and traders to enter into the thermal power market, as proximity to the power plant reduces transportation costs and makes your bid more competitive.
Key Specifications of the Tender
Before you participate, it’s important to understand the technical and logistical requirements of the tender:
- Standard Specification: The tender specifies a minimum gross calorific value of 3,400 kcal/kg for the supplied pellets. This ensures the high energy efficiency of the biomass used as a coal substitute.
- Base Price: The base price is set at ₹2.22 per 1,000 calorific values. The final price will be inclusive of GST and transportation costs. This means you need to factor in transportation from your manufacturing location to the Jhajjar plant.
- Consortium Participation: If you are a large-scale supplier, you can form a consortium with up to three members (biomass pellet manufacturers or traders). This can enhance your bid by allowing you to combine production capacities.
How to Apply for the APCPL Tender
The tender process is conducted via the Government E-Marketplace (GeM) portal. Ensure your company is registered on GeM before the last submission date of October 15, 2024. GeM registration is mandatory, and only companies with valid registration will be considered.
In addition to registration, you will need to submit a two-bid system:
- Technical Bid: Include all necessary certifications, production capacities, and documentation.
- Price Bid: Provide a competitive price based on the base price formula provided in the tender, adding transportation costs.
Earnest Money Deposit (EMD)
For manufacturers registered under MSME, the Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) is exempted. However, for traders and aggregators, a mandatory EMD of approximately ₹10 lakh is required. This can be paid via bank transfer or a bank guarantee.

While this APCPL tender is an excellent starting point, biomass pellet production offers long-term growth. Power plants, industries, and commercial sectors across India are shifting towards biomass due to environmental regulations and energy efficiency standards.
