GVSCCL has opened a ₹461.92 crore tender to bring 24×7 water supply to Madhurawada (Zone-II) and its adjoining areas in Visakhapatnam, with 15 years of operation and maintenance built into the contract; bids close 16 September 2026.
What the work covers
The Greater Visakhapatnam Smart City Corporation Limited (GVSCCL) wants one agency to provide round-the-clock pressurised water supply to Madhurawada Zone-II and the areas around it under the Urban Challenge Fund (UCF) scheme, and then operate and maintain the system for 15 years. It is a lump sum contract with a single cover and a 180-day bid validity. Submission opened on 27 August 2026 on the Andhra Pradesh e-procurement portal, and the tender fee is nil.
Who should be looking at this
This water supply tender suits EPC firms that build urban water networks and can also run them. The 15-year O&M term is the part to price carefully: you lay the system first, then you answer for its performance long after commissioning. Contractors with working NRW-reduction and metering teams have an edge here. If you run pipeline-laying crews in coastal Andhra, the construction phase will also open up subcontract work worth tracking.
Machines this job will need
Continuous-supply conversions are trench-heavy. Expect steady deployment of excavators and backhoe loaders for pipeline trenching and service connections, compactors for road reinstatement, concrete mixers at reservoir and pump-house sites, and cranes for heavier station work. If your fleet sits in or near Visakhapatnam, a 15-year contract window means long-tenure hiring demand, not a one-season job.
