Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation is tendering a 200 MLD sewage treatment plant with a 150 MLD tertiary unit at Old Pirana for ₹720.30 crore, with bids closing on 29 August 2026.
Plant, polishing unit and a pipeline to Narol
The scope covers construction of a 200 MLD STP and a 150 MLD tertiary treatment plant at Old Pirana in Ahmedabad, together with a treated water distribution network running out to the Narol industrial belt and the associated works around it. The tender is issued by the STP department of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, with the Municipal Commissioner as the inviting authority.
Selling treated water to industry is what makes this job different from an ordinary sewage plant. The tertiary unit and the distribution main to Narol mean the contract carries process work, a long pipeline and civil construction in one package, and the ten volumes of documents in the set reflect that spread.
The estimate is ₹720.30 crore with an EMD of ₹7,20,00,000, which works out to almost exactly one per cent. The tender fee is ₹18,000, bid validity is 120 days and withdrawal is not allowed. Submissions opened 14 August 2026 and close 29 August 2026.
The kind of contractor this is written for
This is a large water and wastewater EPC contract, not a general civil job. A credible bidder needs treatment plant experience at scale, the process capability to design and commission a tertiary train, and the pipeline crews to lay the distribution network to Narol. Most bidders at this size come in as a civil contractor with a process partner rather than alone.
For an equipment owner the read is different and simpler. A plant of this size means a long construction period with a steady, predictable machine requirement, which is the sort of work that suits hiring out a fleet on a term basis rather than chasing short jobs.
What runs on site
Treatment plant construction is deep concrete work. Excavators open the tank pits, dewatering runs continuously at a site this close to the river, and the volume of reinforced concrete in the reactors, clarifiers and channels needs a dedicated batching plant with transit mixers and concrete pumps rather than site mixing.
Cranes handle formwork, precast sections and mechanical equipment as the process units go in. The distribution main to Narol adds a second front altogether: excavators and backhoe loaders for the trench, tippers for spoil, pipe-laying gear, and compactors plus small rollers to put the road surface back where the line crosses built-up ground.

Gujarat is running several water and effluent packages at once. The Dholera common effluent treatment plant tender is the closest comparison for process content, and the Kaneval to Dholera raw water pipeline tender at ₹315.52 crore covers the same kind of long-main work as the Narol distribution leg. Larger still, the Dholera desalination plant tender shows where the state’s water spending is heading.

FAQ
What does the Ahmedabad STP tender cover?
Construction of a 200 MLD sewage treatment plant and a 150 MLD tertiary treatment plant at Old Pirana in Ahmedabad, plus a treated water distribution network to the Narol industries and associated works, at a disclosed estimate of ₹720.30 crore.
What are the EMD and the deadline?
EMD is ₹7,20,00,000, about one per cent of the estimate, with a tender fee of ₹18,000. Submissions opened 14 August 2026 and close 29 August 2026.
Why does the treated water go to Narol?
The distribution network in the scope carries tertiary treated water out to the Narol industrial area, so the contract combines a treatment plant with a supply main rather than ending at the plant boundary.
What machines does a plant of this size need?
Excavators for the tank pits with continuous dewatering, a dedicated batching plant with transit mixers and concrete pumps for the reactors and clarifiers, cranes for formwork and mechanical erection, and a separate trenching, pipe-laying and compaction fleet for the main to Narol.
