Serious Irregularities In Rs 33 Billion KP Solar Project| Mis-Procurement|Questions On Transparency

Serious irregularities have been revealed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s Rs33 billion upcoming free solar project. Despite changing the solar specification, price per unit was kept at around Rs204,000. This has raised serious questions about transparency and fairness of the project. Experts claimed the new price should have been around Rs140,000 per unit.

Moreover, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Regulatory Authority has declared the tendering process as mis-procurement.


Interestingly, the project was divided into 20 packages, in which 13 companies participated. However, 18 packages received single bids and there was no competition. What’s more interesting is that another company, which submitted the lowest bid, offered rates that were 7pc lower for two packages in the Hazara Division.

The major specification changes included addition of all-in-one solution, which was later included in the PC-1 with a specific code. Sources claimed all-in-one solution was manufactured by only one company, customized, and that only one supplier was available in Pakistan. All the bidders, except one, have offered the same brand and model all–in–one solution.

Concerns arose when major changes were made to the solar package and an “all-in-one” unit was included, which contained a specific code. Surprisingly, this all-in-one unit is manufactured by only one company abroad and has only a single supplier available in Pakistan.
