Tata Power (SECI) has been forced to delay the deadline of its tender for the manufacturing of 3 GW in solar capacity, after an insufficient number of bidders put forward claims for the project. The news is a considerable setback for the Indian government, which had been aiming to use the offer to showcase the country's appeal to global investors at next week's RE-INVEST 2018 event. The government had previously revised the offer from 5 GW down to 3 GW to attract wider interest in the scheme, which will now remain open until 12 October.
