Amritsar STP Tender: 60 MLD Plant and 120 MLD Pumping Station, Punjab

Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board has invited ₹136.69 crore bids for a 120 MLD pumping station and a 60 MLD sewage treatment plant in the north zone of Amritsar under AMRUT 2.0, closing on 22 September 2026.

What is being built at Gausabad

The package covers a main pumping station sized for 120 MLD at peak flow, a 60 MLD sewage treatment plant, and the pipelines that connect them, all at Gausabad in the north zone of Amritsar town. It is funded under AMRUT 2.0, the central urban water and sanitation mission, and the Amritsar-I division of the board is running the procurement.

Sewerage packages of this shape have a rhythm worth understanding before bidding. The treatment plant is the visible half, but the pipeline laying, jointing, testing and commissioning across an occupied town is where programmes usually slip. Road cutting permissions, existing utilities and traffic diversions decide whether the plant gets its inflow on time.

Who should bid

The estimate is ₹136.69 crore with an earnest money deposit of ₹1,36,69,000, exactly one per cent. The tender fee is a nominal ₹1,000 and payment is online, which lowers the entry barrier compared with the offline highway packages. The contract is on a percentage basis across two covers with 120 days of bid validity.

This suits water and sewerage specialists who can show STP process credentials, since the plant carries a treatment guarantee rather than only a civil scope. Civil contractors without process experience usually come in as a partner on the plant and take the pipeline and pumping station civil work directly. One corrigendum has already extended the date, so read it before pricing.

Machines on a sewerage package

The plant and pumping station mean deep excavation in Amritsar’s water table, so dewatering and shoring set the pace. Excavators in the 20 tonne class do the bulk digging, while backhoe loaders handle the long pipeline trenches through built-up lanes, where a smaller machine that can reposition quickly beats a larger one.

Add cranes for pump sets, gates and precast sections, concrete mixers and pumps for tank and channel pours, and compactors for trench backfill and road restoration once the pipes are in. Restoring the road properly is a contractual obligation on urban sewerage work, not an afterthought.
