The Net Worth of the bidder should be equal to or greater than INR 79.48 Lakhs/MW (Indian Rupees Seventy-Nine Lakhs Forty-Eight Thousand only) of the quoted capacity, as on the last date of previous Financial Year in accordance to Note 6 below or as on the day not more than seven (07) days prior to due date of bid submission. The computation of Net Worth shall be based on unconsolidated audited annual accounts of the bidder.
b. ‘Net Worth’ means the aggregate value of the paid-up share capital and all reserves created out of the profits, securities premium account and debit or credit balance of profit and loss account, after deducting the aggregate value of the accumulated losses, deferred expenditure and miscellaneous expenditure not written off, as per the audited balance sheet, but does not include reserves created out of revaluation of assets, write-back of depreciation and amalgamation.
For this purpose current assets and current liabilities will be considered as classified in the audited balance sheet for the year immediately preceding the date of opening of bids. In case current assets and/or current liabilities are not classified separately in audited Balance Sheet, a certificate from Statutory Auditor/CPA carrying out the Statutory Audit, for current assets and/or current liabilities, as the case may be, clearly defining the items considered for the same, should be enclosed. However, trade payables shall be a part of current liabilities. If the Working Capital calculated from the audited Balance Sheets is negative, then such working capital shall be treated as zero. In case there is a shortfall in the Working Capital as per this, the unutilized Cash Credit Limits sanctioned to the bidder by the Banks/Financial Institutions of international repute shall be considered to meet the shortfall.
The statement displaying Cash Credit limits should not be more than three months old as on the last date for submission of bids.
Notes:
1. For the purposes of meeting financial requirements, only latest unconsolidated audited annual accounts shall be used.

For example, if two companies A and B form a Consortium with equity participation in 70:30 ratio and submit their bid for a capacity of 300 MW, then, total Net-Worth to be met by the Consortium is Rs. 79,48,506 x 300 MW = Rs. 238.46 Crores. Minimum requirement of Net-Worth to be met by Lead Member A would be minimum Rs. 166.922 Crores and to be met by Consortium Member B would be Rs. 71.538 Crores. Similar methodology shall be followed for computation of liquidity requirement.
3. The Bidder may seek qualification on the basis of financial capability of its Parent and / or its Affiliate(s) for the purpose of meeting the Qualification Requirements as per 3.3(i) and 3.3(ii) above. In case of the Bidder being a Bidding Consortium, any Member may seek qualification on the basis of financial capability of its Affiliate(s). In such cases, the Bidder shall be required to submit Board Resolutions from the Parent Company and/or the Affiliates undertaking to contribute the required equity funding and performance bank guarantees/POI in case the Bidder(s) fail to do so in accordance with the RfS.
