reverse auction mechanism (A reverse auction mechanism is an auction approach
to procurement/tendering, wherein sellers which meet certain minimum criteria
are eligible to submit non-negotiable price bids.
The buyer (typically a utility)
then selects winning sellers based on the lowest priced bids first, and signs
non-negotiable standard contracts with the winning sellers, incorporating the
prices bid by that seller), with the help of M/S MSTC in which all major
bankers and financial institutions participated and after the successful
tendering method f
Followed, a very competitive rate
of 9.35% was secured for an amount of Rs.4,200 crore. Prior to this method, the
company resorted to traditional way of tendering and could secure an interest
rate of 10.50%.This new method is resulting in a saving to the tune of Rs.460
crore over the tenor of the loan .
The
saving secured is expected to continue in getting the balance loan in due
course of time .This may reduce the project cost significantly which will
reduce the expected level of tariff.
