The Cabinet has approved awarding the construction contract for Lot A of the Mullikulam Wind Power Transmission Project, a key initiative to strengthen Sri Lanka’s renewable energy infrastructure.
The project, which was cleared earlier this year, consists of two components, Lot A and Lot B.
While the contract for Lot B has now been finalized, bidding for Lot A was conducted under international competitive procurement procedures, attracting four bids.
Following evaluation by the High‑Level Procurement Committee, the contract for Lot A has been awarded to RS Infraprojects (PVT) LTD of India, identified as the lowest responsive bidder.
The deal is valued at USD 6.045 million, equivalent to Rs. 499.66 million, tax‑free on the combined value.
Lot A covers the construction of the input side of the Mullikulam 220/33 kV grid substation and two 220 kV transmission lines. The proposal, presented by the Minister of Power, was endorsed by the Cabinet. (Newswire)
