Out in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh’s irrigation wing has floated a Rs 440.90 crore package to finish the earthwork and cross-structures on two HNSS branch canals, and you have until 29 June 2026 to bid.
The scope in plain terms
This is balance work on the Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) scheme, Phase I, Package 36(A). The job covers earth-work excavation on the Peruru Branch Canal from Km 0.000 to Km 6.070 and the Hagari Branch Canal from Km 0.000, plus the CM and CD works, that is the cross-masonry and cross-drainage structures that carry the canal across roads, drains and natural courses. It is tendered on a lump-sum basis with a 90-day bid validity.
Built for machine owners
Canal earthwork is bread-and-butter for fleet owners. Long reaches of cutting and embankment, structures every few hundred metres, and a clock ticking towards the monsoon. If you own excavators and tippers and can keep them fed, this is the kind of contract that runs them hard for months. The tender fee is nil and the EMD was not listed on the notice, so check the official documents for the exact deposit.
Kit you’ll want on site
Hydraulic excavators do the bulk of the digging, with dozers spreading and pushing fill and motor graders trimming the canal profile. Soil compactors and rollers lock in the embankment, tippers and dumpers shift the spoil, and a few water tankers keep dust and compaction in check. Hard reaches may need rock breakers, while the CM and CD structures bring in concrete mixers and small cranes.
