The notice should tie each milestone to its certificate and demand release of retention after the test period. EPC contracts usually carry arbitration clauses; Udyam-registered installers and suppliers can use MSME Samadhaan against commercial buyers.
Solar, EV and renewable energy suppliers in Pune
Pune’s Chakan, Pimpri-Chinchwad and Talegaon belts hold one of India’s densest networks of auto and engineering suppliers, most of them Udyam-registered small units supplying OEMs and tier-1s. IT vendors in Hinjewadi and Magarpatta add a steady flow of service invoices. Both groups benefit from MSME Samadhaan and from the statutory interest at three times the bank rate.
Milestone payments tied to commissioning and subsidy release, retention until performance tests, and developers waiting on their own financing.
Proof to collect
Typically EPC contract and milestone schedule, commissioning and performance certificates, delivery records and invoices.
- Avoid: commissioning certificates not collected
- Avoid: subsidy-linked payment terms with no fallback date
- Avoid: performance guarantees broader than the equipment warranty
