Amaravati GPRA Housing Tender, Andhra Pradesh (1,504 Quarters)

CPWD has invited EPC bids for 1,504 government residential quarters at Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh, estimated at ₹1,083.14 crore, with bids closing on 26 August 2026.

Scope at Amaravati

The Central Public Works Department, through the Superintending Engineer cum Project Director at Amaravati, is procuring the planning, design and construction of General Pool Residential Accommodation in the new capital city of Andhra Pradesh. The package covers 1,504 quarters, including 600 Type II units laid out in three towers of ground plus 24 floors each. Reference number is 01/SE Cum PD/Amaravati/NIT/2026-27 and the estimate stands at ₹1,083.14 crore.

Contract form is EPC percentage rate under single stage bidding, so the design responsibility sits with the contractor and the bid is quoted as a percentage against the departmental estimate. There is no tender fee. EMD is ₹10,93,14,376, almost exactly 1 per cent of the estimate. Bids were invited on 4 August 2026 and close on 26 August 2026, with opening the same day. Bid validity is 75 days and withdrawal is not permitted once a bid is in.

Contractors this package fits

Three residential towers at ground plus 24 floors put this firmly with high-rise building contractors who have run tower cranes and formwork systems at that height, not with general civil firms stepping up. The 22-day window between publication and close is short for a package above ₹1,000 crore, which usually means the department expects bidders already pre-qualified on similar CPWD housing work.

Watch the geography line on the notice. The circle is administered out of Hyderabad, so the portal files it under Telangana, but the work itself is at Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh. Mobilisation, labour camps and material sourcing should all be planned around the Amaravati site.

What the site will run

High-rise residential work of this scale is a concrete job first. Expect batching capacity on site, concrete pumps feeding 24 floors, and tower cranes as the governing lift equipment. Before that comes the substructure phase, where excavators cut the raft and pile caps for three towers, tippers clear spoil, and piling rigs work if the design calls for deep foundations.

Earthmoving demand is front-loaded and finishes early. Owners hiring out backhoe loaders and mid-size excavators should expect the bulk of that work in the first months, after which the value shifts to lifting, concrete and finishing trades that run for years.
