The civil-heavy half of KMIP Stage 6 is up for grabs: ₹84 crore for the intake, forebay and pump-house structures near Dharashiv, with bids closing 23 July 2026.
What gets built
Alongside the big pipeline package, the Water Resources Department at Aurangabad has floated the structures contract for Stage 6 (Ramdara to Bori-Ekurga) of LIS-2 under the Krishna-Marathwada Irrigation Project. The scope is the approach channel, intake structure, forebay, pump house, switchyard, manifold and allied works — the concrete backbone that the lift scheme runs on. At ₹84.15 Cr, it’s the more focused of the two Stage-6 jobs and a clean fit for a structures-strong contractor.
The machine mix
Structures work leans on concrete. Expect excavators for the channel and foundation cuts, dewatering where the forebay sits low, and a busy concrete train of batching plants, transit mixers and pumps for the pump house and manifold. Cranes handle formwork, gates and the heavier fixings. It’s steady, skilled work rather than raw earthmoving, so owners with concrete kit and mobile cranes around Dharashiv and Solapur are the natural fit.
Worth a look if
You run a structures crew with lift-irrigation or pump-house experience. The EMD is a modest ₹42.08 lakh and the tender fee ₹5,900, so the entry cost is light for a job of this value — and pairing it with the companion pipeline package is an option for firms that can carry both.
