The Madanapalle segment of the Gandikota Phase-II water supply scheme in Annamayya district is out to tender at ₹759.54 crore, with bids closing on 18 August 2026.

What is being built

Andhra Pradesh RWS&S is taking Gandikota reservoir water to the Madanapalle segment in Annamayya district under Phase-II of the scheme. The portal shows an estimated contract value of ₹759.54 crore, while the NIT headline quotes the scheme at ₹1,000.00 crore. Reference is 04/2026-27 dated 29 July 2026, issued by the Chief Engineer-II, RWS&S Department at Gollapudi, Vijayawada, with bids received through the Superintending Engineer, RWS&S Circle, Chittoor.

Terms are the same across this batch of notices: lump-sum contract, open NCB tender, one cover, 90 days of bid validity, no tender fee and no EMD figure printed on the notice. Submissions opened on 4 August 2026 and close on 18 August 2026. Payment routes listed are online payment, challan generation and bank guarantee.

Bidders this suits

Madanapalle sits on the Rayalaseema plateau, so a bidder pricing this needs to think about pumping head and long transmission runs rather than gravity distribution. That points to water infrastructure contractors with pumping main and headworks experience, not general civil firms.

There is a second reason to look closely. Five of these packages closed on the same date across four districts, which means bidding capacity in the state is spread thin over a fortnight. Contractors who move early on document study and joint-venture paperwork are better placed than those waiting for a deadline extension that may not come.

Fleet demand on the ground

The bulk of the spend is buried pipeline, so trenching machines carry the schedule. Backhoe loaders work the village and roadside reaches, and excavators take the deeper transmission trenches. Rayalaseema ground turns rocky quickly, so budget for rock breakers and expect slower daily progress than an alluvial job of the same length.

Behind the trenchers come tippers hauling spoil and bedding sand, compactors closing the trench in layers, and cranes handling large-diameter pipe. The fixed works of pump houses, sumps and overhead balancing reservoirs add concrete mixers and a small batching requirement at each node.
