The same reservoir, a different district: Andhra Pradesh has tendered a Rs1,030.44 crore multi-village water supply scheme drawing from Yeleru Reservoir for the Anakapalli segment, closing 19 August 2026.
What the Yeleru Anakapalli water supply scheme builds
Yeleru Reservoir is being tapped for two separate schemes in this round, one for Kakinada and this one for Anakapalli district. The Anakapalli package carries an estimated contract value of Rs1,030.44 crore against an NIT headline of Rs1,550.00 crore, and it is handled by the Superintending Engineer, PRED RWS Visakhapatnam, under Chief Engineer-I at Vijayawada.
A multi-village scheme of this size is mostly linear work. Intake and pumping arrangements at the reservoir, a treatment plant, transmission mains running out across mandals, then storage reservoirs and distribution inside each habitation. Very little of it sits in one place, which changes how a contractor plans machine deployment and camp locations.
Who this suits
Main contract bidders will be EPC firms with a track record on district water schemes. For everyone else the value sits in the subcontract layer: trenching runs, cross-drainage and road crossings, valve and air-release chambers, service reservoirs and reinstatement behind the pipe crew. Anakapalli contractors already working on the Tandava scheme in the same district will find the mobilisation overlap useful.
What you will run on site
Trenching drives the fleet. Tracked excavators on the mains, backhoe loaders through village lanes where access is tight, compactors behind the backfill crew and tippers hauling spoil. Cranes handle pipe laying at the larger diameters and the pumping station erection, and concrete mixers cover chambers, thrust blocks and reservoir work.

How is this different from the Yeleru Kakinada tender?
Both draw from Yeleru Reservoir but serve different districts and are separate contracts. This one covers the Anakapalli segment at Rs1,030.44 crore under SE PRED RWS Visakhapatnam; the Kakinada segment is a separate package at Rs1,090.27 crore under SE PRED RWS East Godavari.
When do bids close?
Bid submission opened on 4 August 2026 and closes on 19 August 2026. A bid opening date has not been published.
Why does the title show a higher cost than the tender value?
The NIT title quotes a scheme estimate of Rs1,550.00 crore while the portal lists Rs1,030.44 crore as the estimated contract value. Every package in this batch shows the same split, so both numbers are genuine.
Is there work here for a small contractor?
Yes, though not at the main contract level. Trenching, road and drain crossings, chambers, service reservoirs and reinstatement are usually subcontracted along the alignment once the EPC award is made.
